Abstract

Shingo quits his band and works at a factory while taking care of his hospitalized father and pet cat.
He thinks about changing his life, but he is not enthusiastic about his scarce feeling of wanting to live.
Something close to him, something that he always misses and loses. Is what lies ahead still a dead end?
The title story, "The Drugs Don't Work," and five of Tamaki's latest short stories depicting youth drifting in dull pain are included in this short story collection.

Included are "The Drugs Don't Work," "All Living Things," "The Bottom of Youth," "YOUTH," and "Walking on the Wild Side.
