Akata announced the acquisition of the boy's love manga Fleeting Memory, a one-shot by Sai Asai (Sleeping Lovers, Dazzling Lovers), originally serialized in Japan in 2022 in Tokuma Shoten's Chara magazine; the single volume arrives in France November 4 at 8.30 euros. Akata describes it as a bittersweet, road-trip-tinged romance with a fresh take on time-loop storytelling. Since a mysterious comet passed near Earth, some people have developed partial amnesia, including Arata, who forgets not just a full year but also the previous day every time he wakes — meaning he never remembers that his lifelong friend Rihito is secretly in love with him, a truth Rihito has chosen to keep hidden out of devotion.
