Farewell to the Clear Days

“What do you want to become, Mizuha?”

“I don’t know. I just want to destroy myself.”

Ryo, a student poet, haunted by the memories of the earthquake.

Mizuha, eccentric yet pure of heart.

Natsuto, a decadent young man aspiring to become a novelist.

The three young people, each burdened by their own loneliness, come to share in the despair of living, all while carrying the sense of an inevitable parting in their hearts.

A deeply unsettling yet profoundly pure coming-of-age novel from poet Fumiya Iwakura.
