[Synopsis]
The story begins in 1952, Hiroshima. Protagonist Ichigo Umekawa is born into an environment rife with poverty and violence. He loses one lung to illness in his childhood, and his home environment also collapses. Raised in solitude and despair, Ichigo grows up with a combination of ferocity and purity, crawling through the underbelly of society. Eventually, through a reunion with a woman he once loved and a confrontation with a fated rival, he must face the darkness within himself. The story heads towards a climax reminiscent of the actual Mitsubishi Bank Hostage Robbery and Murder Case that occurred in 1979, depicting the trajectory of one man's soul as he chooses a destructive end.

Volumes 1 and 2 are third printings, while volumes 3 and onwards are all first printings. Only volume 10 has an obi.
