Neko Kari Zoku No Naga

[Machine Translation] I met her on the beach, she was beautiful, talkative, and more than anyone else in the world - she wanted to die. Tokitsubaki, a college student who was watching cats frolicking, approached a woman standing on a precipice. Juromaru, the dark-haired beauty about to jump, was a composer of many hit songs. Contrary to her expectations, she tells him in an eloquent and confident tone why she wants to die. Tokitsubaki is confused by the fact that the first talented person he has ever met in his life is about to die with impunity. Tokitsubaki manages to get Juromaru to change his mind that day and takes him back to his lodgings. A genius composer who wants to die, hated by cats for some reason, and a university student who has nothing. Six warm days of incomprehension between these two incomprehensible people have begun. The world in which Asaeda lives is so painful and unreasonable. This is the first work of literature by Asae, who has been creating works that only make you cry, and the first time he has written what he genuinely wanted to write.
