"What do you want to become, Mizuha?" "I don't know. I just want to destroy myself." Ryou, a student poet, haunted by the memories of the earthquake. Mizuha, eccentric yet pure of heart. Natsuto, a decadent young man aspiring to become a novelist. These three young people, each burdened by their own loneliness, come to share in the despair of living, all while carrying the sense of an inevitable parting in their hearts. A deeply unsettling yet profoundly pure coming-of-age novel from poet Fumiya Iwakura. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
