Description
The City of Light is a town above a hill, so-called because it's surrounded by the sun...but it hides an obscure side. Within lives Tasuku, a young kid who works as a 'messenger' for a mysterious group who organizes suicides on the phone. At the same time, other youngsters like him are trying to survive everyday life: Satoshi changes one occasional job after another, and Momoko is the daughter of a prostitute who abandoned her. Finally there's Hoichi who is always involved in dirty business, among which is the suicidal group, but at least he has a dream: earn enough money to buy the whole place and turn it back into the country village he was born in.

“I have no idea what to do with myself. And while I wait for my epiphany, I feel the toxins collecting in my body.” explained the author about himself and pretty much encapsulated the inner world of characters in his realist works. They are adolescents whose losing battle against postponing adulthood is a byproduct of a fast-paced society, failing dreams and relationships.
