Wake Up, Sleeping Beauty Vol. 05

Every moment spent with friends who care has gradually brought Shizu Karasawa out of her shell. So when her father plots to isolate her in a hospital, Tetsu has no choice but to take Shizu and run. With no place left to go, the two head to the beach where Tetsu’s maternal grandfather runs a lodge. But Tetsu’s rash decision dredges up a former tragedy that could tear his family apart, and even drive Shizu away…When the Karasawa family’s fraught relationships catch up to her, a surprising enemy may become Shizu’s most-needed advocate.
