Reseña:  Kasama Tsuneo is an immigration officer in Tokyo struggling to live a normal life after an event that happened eight years previously on the other side of the world in Portland Oregon. When he is seized one day by a strange emotional fit his life threatens to spiral out of control. With his arranged marriage looming his problems worsen following the emergence of a strange voice - a woman who is trying to contact him but without ever quite revealing herself. Imbued with a beautiful melancholy sense of longing the story becomes a quest narrative in which Tsuneo desperately chases this woman and the mystery behind what happened eight years earlier. Exploring ideas of sexuality guilt and identity Taichi Yamada once again displays his unique storytelling qualities and uncanny gift for merging the everyday and the surreal.
