My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This is the first volume of 3, so the story is put on hold.

Hodaka Morishima, a 16-year-old boy, leaves his island to go to Tokyo without a clear plan. The city is hostile, the rain permeates everything, and soon he is homeless on the street. An unknown girl is the only one who gives him a meal, and he ends up looking for a man he met on the ship who gives him a job as an assistant in a self-published magazine that follows strange events.
