I Fell In Love With A Girl Who Died Before I Was Even Born Vol 1

What if the girl of your dreams wasn’t alive—and never was?

I was forty-four years old the last time I checked.

Then I blinked—and woke up in a high school uniform, half my age, in a town that doesn’t exist on any map.

Crescent Moon Academy is a gothic nightmare hidden behind mist and memory. The students aren’t all human. The teachers might not even be alive. And the school motto? Until all are one.

Now I’m being watched by a ghost who doesn’t want to be alone anymore, stalked by a vampire who drank from my neck and apologized, and apparently I’m pretending to be someone named Ryu Kazeyama—someone who might not even be me.

This isn’t an isekai where you level up. This isn’t a harem comedy where the worst thing that happens is a nosebleed. This is what happens when the rules of anime meet real consequences.

And if I don’t figure out who Lana is—the mysterious girl who brought me here—I might lose more than just my past. I might lose myself.

Perfect for fans of urban fantasy, supernatural thrillers, and readers who grew up on Toonami but aged into existential dread.
