Holidays Special 1

Welcome back to Shin’yume.
The holidays have arrived. The rules haven’t changed. The decorations… have.

Holidays Special 1 is a collection of three seasonal side stories set in the world of I Fell in Love With a Girl Who Died Before I Was Even Born.

As Christmas lights clash violently with Halloween decorations, the island of Shin’yume settles into an uneasy, half-celebratory calm. The hot springs are still steaming. The neon signs still flicker. Crescent Moon Academy still looms above the city like it always has. Life goes on, even when the calendar makes no sense.

These companion stories focuses on quiet moments, strange traditions, and the lived-in reality of a place where ghosts, vampires, and humans coexist—not in epic battles, but in awkward conversations, shared spaces, and long afternoons that stretch just a little too far.

Featuring Shion, Azuki, Yuki, and other familiar faces, Holidays Special 1 is a collection of three character-driven, atmospheric stories about existing between worlds, between seasons, and between expectations.

This book is intended for readers already familiar with the series and is best enjoyed as a pause between major arcs. It's a chance to sit with the characters when nothing is exploding and everything still matters.
