Publisher's Synopsis
"But I forgot that the darkness is behind the light ......" Otaishi and Yoshino eloped to the Sumida River to live together, living a simple but happy life as husband and wife. The Sumida River reflects the colorful colors of the fireworks, and Otaishi can't move when he sees his wife, Yoshino, being attacked, and they are facing their own abyss from now on. The world of "stimulants" is a world in which Oi's manga, which he has been working on for a living, becomes increasingly disorganized as his sanity collapses. There is no more diary to follow, and Otonashi evaporates into thin air, leaving no one to mourn.
