asakiyume's journal, I wish I knew how he did it. In plot terms, this should be a really depressing story, judging by the number of suicides and mental breakdowns and the passive behaviour of the protagonists. In practice though, it's exhilerating, full of highs and lows, and wonderful characters, laid over the turmoil and energy of Sixties Japan.
Actually, I think I do know how he does it.
