Summary
Mickey Milkovich spent his days dodging his dad's fists, escaping only in his sketchbook and the town library. He’d developed a quiet obsession with the mysterious "I. Gallagher," whose name appears on every checkout card just next to his own. But Ian has been watching Mickey for a long time, too, and the quiet world of library cards and shared stories might just be the lifeline they both need.
Based on Studio Ghibli's movie "Whisper of the Heart".

Summary
Mickey Milkovich has always been good at pretending he’s fine.
Ian Gallagher doesn’t seem to believe him.
Mickey is fresh out of juvie and stuck working security at a shitty convenience store.
He keeps his head down, his music loud, and his walls higher.
Ian sees him anyway. He sees the beauty in his insecurities.
Mickey's life is falling apart faster than he can hold it together - bruises he won't explain, hunger he won't admit, panic he can't control.
But between late shifts, quiet nights, lingering touches and songs shared under open skies, something starts to change. Something softer. Something dangerous.
Because wanting to be loved means risking everything.
And Mickey has always known one thing -
if someone really sees him, they'll leave.
Ian doesn't.Bookmarked by Howdyaarrgh

Summary
On the run from the law, Mickey seeks shelter in the neighborhood he hasn't seen since he was eight. But something is very wrong. Doors are locked, windows are shuttered, everyone fears sundown, and where his childhood home once stood, he finds a pile of rubble and a severed arm.
Nothing about the South Side makes sense to him until he sits down at the bar next to a certain redhead. It has been sixteen years, but it feels like old times with Ian Gallagher... until it doesn't.
Mickey can't stay-- he's a fugitive from justice. But what choice does he have when his childhood best friend is trapped in a living nightmare?- Language:
