Highly recommended! :D

"Soon I won't be with you any longer, but when the rainy season returns, I will come back to see how the two of you are getting along." -Mio

When Mio died, her husband Takkun and her son Yuji mourned her death and struggled to survive. Takkun is trying to be a father and a mother all at the same time for his son Yuji. For some other widowed fathers this might be an easy thing to do, but for him it's just not. A life without Mio is hardly life at all. But he had to do it for his son. For a year t

"Soon I won't be with you any longer, but when the rainy season returns, I will come back to see how the two of you are getting along." -Mio

They tried to cope up with that bitter reality that Mio, the light and center of their world, won't come back.

Until that first day in the rainy season, Mio suddenly returned.

Surely there must be some rational explanation for this?

But there was none. She was there in front of them, back from the grave, like it's some normal occurrence.

The explanation about Mio's return is one of the many reasons that would keep you reading this book until the end.

Be With You is the third English translated Japanese book I've ever read. And just like the first two books, this is heart warming and thought provoking. It talks about family, love, life, death and the happiness one can get from the simplest things. Which is pretty common in Japanese novels.

Be with you has a sad and very deep plot, it's not the usual tragic love story. I like the way it showed that love takes time to grow, and that it needs stronger foundations to last. It talks about death, goodbyes and partings that made me want to grasp every single love ones I have, afraid that any moment they or I might not be here anymore.

I remember crying two times when I was reading this book. The first time was when Takkun was narrating how hard their life without Mio is. I felt sad for them. I don't know what it really feels like to lose a love one, but from the way Takkun described their situation and his emotions, I thoroughly get the idea. The second time I cried was during the ending. But I cannot tell you anything more without giving too much away.

Be with you is a very sentimental book, one that will render you emotional and nostalgic. This is the kind of book that I find myself reading 5, 10, even 20 years from now. When I was reading this I thought that it's great to read this book while it's raining, a blanket on your lap, the book in your hands and a hot choco within reach. Funny thing is, some other GR reviewer thought about it too.

Anyway, I recommend this to everyone. In fact this book was so good they had a manga, a movie and a t.v series adaptation of it.

Okay, so before I end this let me share just a few lines from the book that I really liked.

" If you know you're about to lose something, only then do you know what it is you really want."-Takkun

"But...Life goes on. No matter how many meetings and partings we have to live through, no matter what faraway places we are sent of, life goes on."- Nombre

Is time fluid? Are our dreams our real life and our waking life a dream? Does true love never die? Are there parallel universes as well as heaven and hell? Is their filth in the beauty and beauty in the filth?

I don't see why these things can't be true. They are subjects I like to think about over and over even if I will not have the answers to these questions in this time and place. I like stillness. I like to think. I like to read character studies that expand my horizons by turning my sensibil

This story has done all of the above and more. It was a gift from someone whom I would not expect to give it to me. To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, I say "Show the world you are a mystery; allow your trusted friends a glimpse of your heart from time to time."

This story moves slowly but read it and dig a little deeper into your mind and soul. You will know yourself a little bit better. That's a good thing!

Be With You is a nice sentimental piece by Ichikawa Takuji. The book is a telling presentation of life, love, and chance. It is easy enough to get through in one sitting too, although the pages run up to two-hundred and sixty. This book, described as a "ghost story", isn't the typical ghost story one finds in western or contemporary fiction. This story is much more about life than death, and more about chance than certainty.

Ichikawa's style is simple and straightforward. The characters are normal people doing very normal things. The plot isn't complicated or exceptional. However, the theme is elegant; the message is clear and convincing: the essence of living and happiness is to cherish each and every moment that you are given.

Translated from the Japanese by Terry Gallagher

This story is incredibly sweet. Cavity-inducing sweet. It's a lovely little thing about a widowed man whose sick wife promised to come back to check on him and their son, Yuji, a year after she has died during the rainy season. She tells him she will stay for the rainy season but leave as soon as it ends.

Nearly a year after Mio's death, Takkun and his six-year old son Yuji are living a sad sort of life. Takkun goes to work and wears suits many sizes

Translated from the Japanese by Terry Gallagher

Nearly a year after Mio's death, Takkun and his six-year old son Yuji are living a sad sort of life. Takkun goes to work and wears suits many sizes larger than he needs. Both he and his son walk around in dirty, food-stained clothing and eat instant foods in place of real meals. The reason Takkun is unable to do the very minimum things required to take care of a household and his son is because he suffers from an amalgam of disorders and anxieties. He cannot ride in a vehicle, enter a moving theatre or ride the elevator without being overwhelmed by a debilitating anxiety. The one great thing Takkun does is writes a novel about his wife, their life together and her life after death, which is of course spent on the planet Archive. The book is meant to be for his son, so he has something to remember Mio by.

On the first day of the rainy season, Takkun and Yuji find themselves walking in the middle of the woods, near an old abandoned factory. Yuji likes to search for bolts and parts while Takkun walks around. However, on this day they find Mio in the woods - she looks just like Mio anyway - but has no memories of life or of death. And this is how Be With You becomes kind of a ghost story.

Be With You features the perfect romance - one that doesn't require explicit declarations of love or devotion. The love seems natural. What affected me about this book was its lack of any traditional climax or conflict. It relied entirely upon the love story and the story line. It ended up being just enough to hold your attention and create a perfectly enjoyable experience.

I can only imagine what this story would be like in its native language of Japanese. In fact, it was such a great book that they turned it into a movie and a miniseries. I've managed to get my hands on a subtitled version of the movie - I'm excited to see if it lives up to the book.

Be With You—Ima ai ni yukimasu [いま、会いにゆきます] by Takuji Ichikawa #OctoberReads #2021Reads

Before she passed, Mio told her husband Takumi [Takkun], "Soon I won't be with you any longer, but when the rainy season returns, I will come back to see how the two of you are getting along”. Somehow these words comforted Takkun as he struggled to continue his life with their son Yuki. A year later, rainy season came and so did Mio.

Be With You—Ima ai ni yukimasu [いま、会いにゆきます] by Takuji Ichikawa #OctoberReads #2021Reads

At first, this book appeared to be a simple, romantic ghost story, but it is more than that. It’s a book written in a straightforward manner which made its message clear: to love by telling them how much they matter; to live—by seizing an opportunity to be happy. As Takkun said:

" If you know you're about to lose something, only then do you know what it is you really want."

The book also gave heavy moments on grief from death of a loved one. Losing someone you love is one of the hardest things in the world to deal, but as Nombre said:

"Parting is sad and it is hard. But you can't just keep standing here” and "Life goes on. No matter how many meetings and partings we have to live through, no matter what farway places we are sent off to, life goes on."

Also, please watch the Korean movie adaptation of this book on Netflix! 💕

What a beautiful, heartbreaking story. A year after the death of his wife, Mio, Takumi and his son Yuji are still struggling. When Mio suddenly reappears, alive but with no memory, Takumi and Yuji embrace her without question. Their family reforms, and Takumi and Mio fall in love all over again, if only for a short time. At its heart, this story is about choices: the lives we dream about, the lives that could have been, and the ones we choose, with eyes wide open.

An overall pleasantly strange writing style and nice characters. Romance, sadness, bliss, nostalgia and foreboding hang above readers' heads.

I wouldn't say it's a weird story but it certainly belongs to the not-quite-normal category with a hint of fiction/fantasy but to be frank, nothing extra-fancy. A little story to read in the afternoon.

[This is an old review I'm just now adding to GR.]

I vaguely remember seeing the cover of this book several years ago and being intrigued. I hoped I would enjoy it, but I've been burned by so many English translations of Japanese novels. Happily, this turned out to be one of the good ones.

[This is an old review I'm just now adding to GR.]

Be With You is told primarily from Takumi's perspective. Takumi is a widower with a six-year-old child named Yuji. In the year since his wife died, he has tried to keep going, do his work, and be a good father, but it has been difficult. I'm not sure what his diagnosis would be, but he has severe anxiety. He cannot travel far from home and has a great terror of being enclosed inside vehicles. He cannot go inside movie theaters, his short-term memory is bad, and sometimes he seizes up and thinks he is dying. His efforts to cook for Yuji often go badly, so they usually just eat Yuji's favorite food, curry. Their home is a mess, because it doesn't occur to Takumi to clean, and Yuji sometimes goes to school in dirty clothes.

This is how things are for them when Mio, or her ghost perhaps, comes back into their lives. Takumi finds her at one of his and Yuji's usual exploration spots, near an old factory. She has no memory of either of them, nor of her death. Takumi had always told Yuji that deceased loved ones go to a planet called Archive, and it now seems possible that his story was true, and somehow Mio has temporarily come back to them. Takumi is hesitant to tell Mio about her death, but he does tell her about how they met and eventually fell in love. The three of them gradually become a family again, as though Mio never died. But this can't last forever, right?

The words I would use to describe this story and Takumi are: quiet, timid, and a little strange. The writing was very spare, to the point where I couldn't always picture what certain settings looked like and some conversations were a little hard to follow. The focus was very much on Takumi's thoughts and the characters' conversations.

I don't know that I can say I liked Takumi, but I sympathized with him. He knew his anxiety restricted his life a great deal, but few doctors had been able to help him. He felt that his illness put a burden on Yuji and Mio, and he couldn't understand how Mio had ever fallen in love with him or wanted to be with him. When he was 18 or 19 and started having problems, he tried to push Mio away. A life without her saddened him, but he couldn't imagine someone like her enjoying a life with someone like him, and he wanted her to be happy. He is not magically cured by the end of the book, although he works harder to take better care of himself and Yuji.

Because the story was told from Takumi's perspective, it was a little hard for me to get a fix on Mio. She seemed a bit like some perfect housewife who sprang into being just to love and be with Takumi, and that bothered me. For some people, it might come too late, but, near the end of the book, Mio reveals in a letter that she made several conscious choices about her life's direction. While I would have liked more glimpses into her thoughts, I was happy about this revelation that she wasn't completely passive. She made some incredibly tough decisions, all on her own.

Before I began this book, I worried a little about its potential to be a tearjerker. For the most part, Takumi's narrative felt very emotionally removed, as though everything was muffled by a few layers of gauze. On the one hand, I was happy that the characters weren't wallowing in the sadness of Mio's approaching disappearance or trembling over the mystery of how she came to appear in the first place. On the other hand, it made it a little difficult to connect with everyone. I will say this, though: I needed tissues during the last 40 pages. Apparently I managed to connect with Takumi, Mio, and Yuji enough for that. I wish I could give Yuji a hug – he's an example of one of the few literary young children I actually like. He felt real, rather than like a disgustingly adorable idealized child.

All in all, I don't know that I'll ever want to reread this, but I'm glad I read it at least this one time. The translation was smooth and generally easy to follow – I'll have to see about trying other works Terry Gallagher has translated [my quick search brings up ZOO by Otsuichi and Self-Reference ENGINE by Toh EnJoe]. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear as though any of Takuji Ichikawa's other works have been translated into English.

Additional Comments:

The animal lover in me was not entirely happy with how Ichikawa handled Pooh, a dog owned by one of the characters in the book. At some point prior to Pooh becoming Nombre's dog, his vocal chords were removed, meaning that he couldn't bark – I didn't like this, but I could deal with it because he seemed content. However, at the end of the book[view spoiler][Pooh escaped and was never found again. There was no reason this loose thread couldn't have been tied up in a happy way. Nombre believed he was doing just fine, but I needed something more concrete than that. [hide spoiler]]

Typically j-lit, a sweet heartwarming story with slow pace and also a twist ending🎈

An amazing book! I've cried so many times! The Mio's letter part is my favourite!

This is a wonderful book. I got interested in it because when I was in Japan in April 2006, my friend D and I watched the film version on TV in our hotel. We didn't really know what was going on because there were no subtitles, so we could only catch some dialogue now and again, but the quiet feeling of the movie really spoke to me. I kept checking into it, and eventually found out that Viz Media was translating the book and also releasing the movie here.

Like with most translated works, the writ

Like with most translated works, the writing style becomes a bit dry, a bit less lyrical than the original. It doesn't flow quite as well. This isn't a serious problem for the book, but it takes a little getting used to. It's a very quiet, slow-moving story, filled with small details of day-to-day life, and it dragged a bit for me in the middle.

Because of that, I fell prey to my stupid tendency to skim ahead a bit, and spoiled the end of the book for myself. Don't do this! The end is remarkable, amazing, unpredictable, miraculous - stick with the book and just let it happen!

This is a wonderful story, with a unique ending, and I highly recommend it. I can't wait to check out the movie version [with subtitles this time!]; there's apparently also a TV show and a manga.

[One final note on the translation: Viz has been doing an excellent job, from what I can tell, in translating fiction. They keep the cultural references intact as far as I know and use honorifics such as "-kun" or "-san," realizing that by now, people pretty much know what that they mean. Viz translates in a way that shows respect for their fans' intelligence, and I greatly appreciate it.]

I just finished reading this book. And I am really moved by Mio and Takumi's love story. It is sad, yes, but their story is so special that i felt jealous of Mio having Takkun and to Takkun having Mio. They are born for each other, and that what's make them a great couple. I really love Yuji too, he made this story extra special, he is one sweet cute boy. And I can feel how happy Mio is, having him.

Nombre and Pooh adds life in this book too. It saddens me that they need to partway. But as Mr. Ichikawa said, "Parting is sad and it is hard. But you can't just keep standing here." and "Life goes on. No matter how many meetings and partings we have to live through, no matter what farway places we are sent off to, life goes on.". I hope Pooh is in a better place now.

This book taught me so many things about love and life. Ima ai ni yukimasu/Be With you is one of the best novels I ever read. If I have a chance, I want to thank Mr. Ichikawa personally, for giving life to Mio, Takkun and Yuji. Their story is indeed worth reading. They will have this soft spot in my heart, forever.

This book really and truly touched my heart, and so, my review won't be long as I don't think I can be objective about it.

It's a relatively simple premise, no real twists or turns, no big conflicts, just a gentle, loving story told in an impossibly charming, straight forward way. It's sentimental without being cheesy and unselfconsciously quirky.

The wife, Mio, appreared like some perfect housewife who had had her hardest time considering and deciding her life's direction. She had made her incredibly tough decisions, all on her own, to be with Takumi and together having Yuji.

I love the scenery where the family holding their hands and together walking in the forest under the rain. It must be the most memorable moment, it's so warm and beautiful. The melancholy throughout the storyline, is the most beautiful thing of this book, too.

I've decided to make this review when I'm longing to watch the premiere of the Korean version of "Be with you" in my country. It's "amazing" to have another chance to enjoy this story, by a different way from before :]

A romantic, simple story written very plainly. The book [fiction] is written in the first person, and the writer mentions the writing style of Kurt Vonnegut. Which is odd. Because this is a Japanese book, translated into English, which reads like a romantic Vonnegut novel.

Behind the rain and the forest, it is the love through space and time.

A soft touch to our souls via its story between a clumsy guy and his resourceful wife.

If you really love someone, they will be right in your heart and sitting there. You can die as the nature of life, but sweet memories will last forever.

Actually, I wanna give this book 4,7 stars, but I round it off to 5 stars. The story is very sweet, casual, and doesn’t have many conflicts. Not to mention Yuji is a very adorable kid.

Some part might be touch your heart as well, and as for me, I wish that there’s somebody who can love me like the way Takumi loves Mio :”].
