A story about a woman's vanity, greed, hatred and despair, by the author of River's Edge.

Schnurgerade und strömungslos zieht sich der Fluss, fast so tot wie ein Industriekanal, durch die Stadt. An seinen öden Ufern treffen sich die Jugendlichen Haruna, Yamada und Kozue – schwul der eine, ein bulimisches Model die andere, gefangen in einer toxischen Beziehung die dritte. Es geht um Mobbing, eine ungewollte Schwangerschaft und Liebe unter einem grauen Himmel.

A story about a high school student, Haruko, who falls in love with Kenʼichi who dropped out from high school.
