Synopsis
Yamashita Tomoko's short stories: photographer Jed's unrequited love for widower Sahab, exploring real ifrits and impossible wishes.
A collection of short stories by Yamashita Tomoko. A well known photographer named Jed Knox acquires a one-sided love from his time in a foreign country. Because the target of his crush, Sahab, said he would never love another since his wife died, Jed would never tell of his feelings. Oh but how Jed wished Sahab would love him even a little bit and that he could have Sahab's soul in his hands. Although ifrits (genies, etc) are magical wish givers in story, what could happen if they were real? (Source: MU)
