Having been born in "Cult Village", a place that aims to create a society without possessions or ownership,  Ms. Kaya Takada was raised in the village's ideology of doing hard manual labor and being restricted by unreasonable laws. So how did she leave the village on her own? This depicts her teenage years (13-19) as she and other children in the village headed into puberty. Music, male-female relations, and reading outside literature were strictly forbidden, and women were forced to clean all the men's rooms. The contents of her diary had to be thoroughly checked by adults in one-on-one meetings, and the village even started a unique new system to control people's thoughts... And because of the village's "fixed marriage" system, the leaders even decided that her spouse would be an old man who's decades older than her?! Source: Bungeishunju
