Looking for the Full Moon

Do Dreams Really Come True? Well... It's Complicated.
 

Mitsuki’s a normal 12-year-old girl who dreams of becoming an idol singer… except she’s dying of cancer. With a surgery looming that could damage her vocal chords, and a grandmother completely against Mitsuki’s dreams of showbiz, it seems like her wish will never come true. But when she’s visited by two shinigami – Takuto and Meruko – Mitsuki makes a promise. If they can help her fulfill her dream, then she will part with her soul willingly when the time comes.

 

A grand, emotional and spiriting adventure, Looking for the Full Moon is full of great songs, touching moments, and characters you’ll fall in love with.
