River’s End

For Shunji Tokame, life was all about working part-time to pay off his father’s debt and barely managing to feed himself, his older sister, and his younger brother day by day. High school and friends meant nothing to him.

However, by chance, he begins talking to his classmate Hiroshi Ninomiya. Gradually, Tokame finds his frozen heart beginning to thaw, warmed by Ninomiya’s kindness and brightness.

Alongside the title story, “River’s End,” this novel includes “God Bless You” and “End Roll,” which explore Tokame’s inner conflicts as he matures into adulthood. These stories share the same universe as Castle Mango, a manga written by Konohara-sensei.
