Abstract

Thinking that if I didn't do this, I'd never go to school again, I was in my second year of high school when I reunited with Haru, who was one year younger than me and who I used to battery in primary school.
Then, in an instant, I began to get involved in a weird, dark job. ......
But the world I saw and heard about wasn't all there was, and behind it - or rather, outside the focus of normal people - was a blurred world that I didn't know at all.

Overwhelmingly addictive! A superb debut novel!
The winner of the 47th Subaru Prize for Literature depicts teen solidarity and resistance to an absurd world.
