This is Naoki Hyakuta's "Kageboshi" (Shadow Figure). It is a work that depicts male friendship and bonds. I read it once with a book cover. The sealed part at the end of the book was difficult to open cleanly and became jagged. (Please see images 7, 8, and 9.) This does not affect readability. There are no other noticeable stains, but please understand that this is a used item inspected by an amateur and stored at home. - Title: Kageboshi - Author: Naoki Hyakuta - Publisher: Kodansha - Award: Hon'ya Taisho (Bookstore Award) winner Thank you for looking.
