Description (courtesy of kurenai and roxfan on irc): Arrested on false charges, a boy by the name Muoru is sent to work at the a public cemetery, where he declares himself a grave keeper and meets a beautiful girl named Meria.

This is a title that all Light Novel lovers should be awared of. This is the recent winner of the renowned Sneaker Grand Award (スニーカー大賞). This is the 14th year this magazine has been running and is solely dedicated to Light Novels.

Of the past 14 years, this Grand Award has only be given out three times.

2nd Year
Trinity Blood

3rd Year
Ragnorak

8th Year
The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi

After SIX years, we finally have a successor to Haruhi. Without a doubt this is a novel that a lot of people will be keeping their eyes on. Here's the cover page for Volume 1.

PS: This award comes with a "curse". The previous 3 winners are unfinished works. Trinity Blood's author passed away, Ragnorak's author fell off the face of literature, and Haruhi's author (as many people know) is on hiatus for more than 2 years already. Hopefully, this will not suffer the same fate.
