F.'S STORY


Book Description

When the protagonist of this book opened their eyes in a town they didn't recognize, feeling as lost as a fish out of water, they were uncertain about which path to take. The character's name could have been any name ever invented, but to leave this possibility open, we decided to represent them with just one letter: F. F doesn't know where they came from; all they know is that they are about to embark on an unknown journey. These two unknowns initially preoccupied F's mind intensely, but the ordinary busyness of daily life seemed to dull this intensity somewhat. F is a person strong enough to be well-intentioned, but they lack the strength and courage to put their good intentions into practice. F is aware of this. This ironic state of mind causes them to fail almost every test of their good intentions. This greatly disturbs F, and at one point, they vow to eliminate the disproportion between their ideals and their actions; no matter what, they will act as their ideals dictate. Will F be able to achieve this? We don't know for sure, but we sincerely hope so.
