the guy is in love with a female fictional character in a book so he dates anyone who resembles her. The guy he met at the library seems to be an exact replica of that character.
so why did his ex said hotaru is dead?
probably the character in the book died? it's the first thing i can think of...
i was thinking the ex-gf could also mean that she wasn't willing to be a stand-in for hotaru anymore, her as hotaru is "dead"
ohhh okay thank you for replying!!
can someone explain to me what the plot is about? im getting confused lol
