It is a heterosexual novel that keenly explores issues such as love and desire, life and death, and is both erotic and philosophical.

As an adult, he lived a luxurious and drunken urban life, while dealing with three women: one was Mrs. Onishi, who came from a wealthy family but couldn't satisfy her desires, the other was Tomomi, a single mother who ran a bar, and the other was a beautiful and gentle young woman Ediriko.
