Adapted from Ango Sakaguchi’s famous historical fiction / romance writing, the graphic novel follows two people bound not by love, but by proximity to ruin. A former sex worker, she is emotionally sealed off, incapable of feeling pleasure in any familiarway. A writer, he is numb and adrift, and drawn to her detachment from the unraveling world. Together, they have made an agreement: they will stay together until the war ends - or they die. Drifting through bomb shelters, burned-out streets, and nights heavy with smoke, desire, and resignation, terror becomes a strange fascination; destruction takes on an erotic charge. There is something beautiful, almost intoxicating, about the end. |
