Synopsis
Jun, 23, was always bullied at school and he's still bullied now. Unable to talk to his parents, Jun idolizes Kiminobu (maybe he's just a little bit in love), a former classmate who has promised to take him away from this world. Kiminobu, 25, has just killed his girlfriend in a fight, sort of accidentally. He's found a suicide cult on the internet, and he proposes to meet up with Jun to go together to join it. Jun is overjoyed at the prospect of dying with Kiminobu. The difficult, shifting relationship between these two young men develops as they travel, mostly by bicycle, to find the ultimate solution to their problems.
