Calling You (short story collection)
Calling You (Japanese: きみにしか聞こえない, Hepburn: Kimi ni Shika Kikoenai, lit. "Nobody Can Hear Me But You") is a Japanese fictional short story collection written by Otsuichi and published on May 31, 2001 by Kadokawa Shoten. All three stories in Calling You are stories focused on unusual friendships with a supernatural twist. In December 2003, a manga adaptation written and illustrated by Setsuri Tsuzuki was published by Kadokawa. The Calling You manga only includes the first two stories of the novel, and makes some changes to both of those stories. Both the novel and manga adaptations were given an English language release in North America by Tokyopop.
