''[[The Longing of Shiina Ryo]]'' is a light novel written by [http://thatguyfroma.wordpress.com Ryuno], available [http://menasepublications.blogspot.com/2011/01/longing-of-shiina-ryo.html here] and on [http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.php?title=The_Longing_Of_Shiina_Ryo 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 {{spoiler|the only one who is still alive/without harm because of him}}), happens to live. Unfortunately, Shin-tsu can only hide for so long before Mystery finds him again...
