Mohaya Boku Ha Ningen Janai

[Machine Translation] The author was living a lonely life with a broken heart, conflicts with her family, and sexual turbulence. He was rescued from his solitude by a pachinko addict priest and a gay bar owner with the nickname "Torikera. Day and night at the temple and Shinjuku 2-chome, they talk about their lives, compete to see who can find the most erotic Buddha statue, and cry at a kendo match between children they don't know, turning their unfortunate past into a funny story. It is sad, obscene, and slightly cheering. This is a true story of how one goes from the bottom of one's life to stepping toward one's dreams, which is not a true story.
