Summary
Nakajima Atsushi is merely twelve years old when he is expelled from the orphanage, hungry and without a place to seek refuge. His body bear the marks of the harsh life he had endured, yet he feel he deserves no more from life.
Sitting on the banks of the Yokohama river, he decides to plunge into the icy waters to rid himself of weeks of grime, hoping for a more serene and certain tomorrow.Dazai Osamu is the youngest executive the Port Mafia has ever had, having just turned fifteen, when he makes a mistake on the shores of the Yokohama river: his latest execution is witnessed by an unwitting boy resembling a ghost. Initially intent on killing him, he reconsiders when he realizes that the boy, deeply traumatized and conditioned, has the potential to become an excellent weapon in the skillful hands of the Demon of the Port Mafia.
Atsushi is naive, ready to bow obediently before the first figure able to provide him with new certainties in an unknown world, and when Dazai persuades him to follow, he surrenders to his will, to the future awaiting him in the Port Mafia.
