We became irreplaceable to each other even though we had nothing in common. After graduating from university, 'I' got a job at a TV production company, and Aki belonged to a theater company. However, the world I jumped into was wild and we gradually destroyed our minds and bodies... Depicting the friendship and growth of two people from adolescence until the age of 33, this book reflects on the sadness and weakness of human beings and the miracle of living.
