Synopsis

Kei Kitahara, a visionary screenwriter who has taken postwar Japan by storm, has made the difficult decision to lay down his pen for good after he realizes the people he's been basing his characters on have all met unfortunate ends. He spends his days in misery, waiting to die, until a reason to live finds him in the gutter, too drunk and beaten to move. Kei can't help but be attracted to his savior's bewitching innocence, and the urge to write about him grows stronger by the day. Knowing he can't take the risk, he vows to never use his pen against him, but will temptation prove too great?

It is a beautiful story of love and fear that catches the reader with its twists and heartfelt moments.

The story deals with the trauma of the Kai and Youichi in fascinatingly beautiful yet scary tale of a writer haunted by his past finding a beacon of hope in the cruel and stale world, being able to live and feel once again. What is also quite fascinating is the way the story deals with the themes of depression, loss, PTSD and emotional unavailability.

The writer did a splendid work in this one and hopefully he will create more stories that resonate with its readers as this one ...
