Description

What if the person next to you were an ex-convict who had committed an atrocious crime? This is a story about coexistence with former convicts, the wellspring of human fear, and the interstices between happiness and misfortune.

The story takes place in a provincial town somewhere in Japan. Once flourishing in marine trade, the port city Uobukashi was chosen for the trial of a confidential project by the government to relocate former prisoners who had served out their sentences to local towns. The only people who know the full story about this scheme to transfer ex-convicts and hide their past are the city mayor and two of his friends, TSUKISUE and OHTSUKA. The townspeople are told nothing. Those relocated are eleven ex-convicts, among them murderers, robbers, and others who have committed vicious crimes of assault and fraud.

Two great masters of gag manga, YAMAGAMI Tatsuhiko, known for Gaki deka, and IGARASHI Mikio, of Bonobono fame, depict the outcome of a project testing the coexistence of those who have committed crimes, and those haven't.

The manga was one of the Jury Selections in the Manga Division of the 16th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2012. It was nominated for the 17th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2013. It was also nominated for the 18th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2014, and also for the Reader Award at the same awards. It won an Excellence Award in the Manga Division of the 18th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards in 2014. A live action film adaptation directed by Daihachi Yoshida is scheduled for release in Japan in 2018.
