Meeting and parting with women who carry a dark past. Friendships with irreplaceable friends. An autobiographical manga series set in Tokyo in the 1950s.

The west wind, waves, the first day of spring, snowstorms, the tidal breeze, the setting sun, the withering of the trees. The dry lyricism of boys and girls, delicately and brilliantly described by the popular author. (Source: Chikuma Shobou, translated)
