Boy's Abyss, Vol. 4 - Paperback

by Ryo Minenami (Author)

Self-serving adults and broken dreams push a teenage boy trapped in a dead-end town closer and closer toward the abyss.

Reiji's life is as miserable as the small town he can't escape. The most interesting thing that's ever happened there is a double suicide down by the river. Does Reiji have any power over his fate, or will he too fall into the abyss?

When Gen reveals a shocking secret about Reiji's mother, Reiji kicks into high gear in his determination to save her. Then, Reiji finds it's not as easy to extricate himself from his illicit affair with his teacher as it was to fall into it. Plus, he and his spirited, nerdy friend Chako grow closer...and closer...
