   Summary

   Dazai has lived in this town all his life.
   Chuuya just moved here.
   The weighty presence of The Cross shadows them both, and the fates have already weaved their thread. Salvation comes in many forms, and likely, in the least expected way.

   Or: A coming-of-age story where Dazai (the pastor's son), and Chuuya (the city boy) crash into each other one summer, and where they will inevitably change the course of both of their lives.
