Description
Life is never ordinary. What begins with a college dropout bored of her mediocre routine soon becomes a fantastic series of vignettes about the unexpected ways that lives intersect. Filled with magical realism in the face of the cold reality of modern life, at their core these stories are about discovering something precious in the chaos of existence. A dream recaptured. A life on a new track. The absurdity of death. Laughter in the face of reality. With this series of intersecting vignettes, Inio Asano explores the ways in which modern life can be ridiculous and sublime, terrible and precious, wasted and celebrated.

“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.
