Every day in Japan, 2500 people die due to any number of causes. Do you think you'll be one of the
ones to die? No, of course not. Do you think you'll win the lottery? You'd like to think so, we all
would. But Sumida is dierent. He wants to remain the status quo in every way. Live a normal life,
get a normal job, have normal kids, never to be anyone fortunate or unfortunate, content in
normalcy. Anyone who doesn't agree is foolish, doomed to live their life scraping up a mountain that
they can never conquer, fated to die in despair wishing things had been better.

When his mother kicks his father out of the house and onto the streets, he thinks he'll be fine. When
his mother leaves him to live with her boyfriend, he makes the best of it. When he realizes that he's
no longer average, he strives to make his life worthwhile the only way he knows how. When the

Ohikkoshi by Hiroaki Samura (Licensed)

[IMG]http://i43.************/juy138.jpg[/IMG]

turbulent paths of several twenty-something art students as they fall in love, fall in lust, play in rock
bands, ride motorbikes, eat, sleep (together), and try to avoid making life decisions while drunk.
This romantic comedy is a "Japanese art school confidential" packed with absurd humor, obscure
death metal references, and some expertly placed, dramatic revelations. "Luncheon of Tears Diary"
is a vibrant, genre-busting tale that also peppers its humor with sharp, dramatic moments. Natsumi
Funabashi, a virgin, is an aspiring manga creator on a quest for love and a fulfilling career. Along the
way, she has to cope with overzealous men, gang warfare, a mahjong addiction, and a lascivious
manga editor. This collection is rounded o by Samura's hilarious "Kyoto Super Barhopping
Journal: Bloodbath at Midorogaike," a rare, autobiographical travel piece.
