The Story
This is a story that questions the value of life…
Set in the vibrant city of Kabukicho, surrounded by the expanding dilapidated slum of Shinjuku Kowloon, this city is home to the poor, outcasts, and those exiled from society.
Shinjuku Kowloon has grown by consuming the lives and desires of various individuals.
“Torao Hiira”, a man who buries lives in this town… What is the reason behind his absurd behavior?

Oof. Apparently translation is bad. The only positive reviews are Japanese ones. Even the one Chinese review didn’t recommend it, which implies even the Chinese TL is bad (which is a surprise, as I’ve usually seen that JPN to CHN TLs are usually decent enough).
