The Longing of Shiina Ryo

The Longing of Shiina Ryo is a light novel written by Ryuno, available here and on Baka-Tsuki. It is about a teenager nicknamed Shin-tsu who has spent most of his life fleeing from a series of unusual events that he has deemed "Mystery". The story picks up when Shin-tsu moves to yet another new town, which coincidentally is where Ryo, someone he met online and the only person who he has befriended during his life (or at least ), happens to live. Unfortunately, Shin-tsu can only hide for so long before Mystery finds him again...
