Book Summary
This pack brings together the first three volumes of an intense story of overcoming adversity, second chances, and unexpected bonds.

A work that combines social drama, emotional tension, and the seed of a complex relationship.
What is it about?
Emu Ikariya has always lived in poverty, enduring ridicule and deprivation since childhood. When his alcoholic father passes away, he leaves behind an astronomical debt that sinks him even further. A mobster begins pressuring him for repayment, confiscating all his savings and suggesting shady methods to make quick money. In his darkest moment, Nenji Fukutomi appears—a former classmate whom Emu hasn't seen in years. This reunion awakens feelings Emu thought were buried, but it also confronts him with a disturbing question: is this a real chance at redemption or just another trap set by fate? The plot explores how tenacity and human bonds can defy the most adverse circumstances.
