The Absurd Daily Life of a Delinquent

For someone like me, youth has never meant beauty, nor is it anything special. If so, then what is youth? Youth is simply the force that keeps me alive, all those foolish things that have always, in some small way, kept my life burning. Everything that sustains my life is something I experienced in my youth. That is my youth. Ango Sakaguchi, On Youth Mori Rintaro, once a rising star in military and political circles, now drifts through the streets of Yokohama. At the port of Shinko, he runs into a strange boy. At this point, the stage for people with supernatural abilities has yet to be built. An Ango-only fan. The endgame pairing is Chiyo. * Reflections after reading Ango Sakaguchi, written by a fake fan; slice of life, stream of consciousness * Ango's characterization leans toward the real person and will change as I read more (Dazai and Oda, too) * The timeline is all over the place * Some Western literary figures will appear, mainly French and German * May include RPF-style portrayals of real authors Theme: Appreciate the beauty in life
