[Machine Translation] If a woman gives birth to 10 children, she is allowed to kill one of them. In a world where such a "Murder-Birthing System" was accepted, "mothers" were revered as precious beings who create life. At Ikuko's workplace, another "mother" became a "mother" and was praised by the people. While praising this wonderful act, Ikuko has some mixed feelings about it. Perhaps it is because of a secret she holds that she cannot tell anyone... Three short stories are also included, including "Triple," which depicts a strange world where three-person relationships are popular. A challenging collection that shakes up universal values.

「産み人」となり、10人産めば、1人殺してもいい―。そんな「殺人出産制度」が認められた世界では、「産み人」は命を作る尊い存在として崇められていた。育子の職場でも、またひとり「産み人」となり、人々の賞賛を浴びていた。素晴らしい行為をたたえながらも、どこか複雑な思いを抱く育子。それは、彼女が抱える、人には言えないある秘密のせいなのかもしれない...。三人での交際が流行する、奇妙な世界を描いた「トリプル」など、短篇3作も併録。普遍の価値観を揺さぶる挑戦的作品集。
