Boys Abyss, Vol. 1

Self-serving adults and broken dreams push a teenage boy trapped in a dead-end town closer and closer toward the abyss.

Reiji’s life is as miserable as the small town he can’t escape. The most interesting thing that’s ever happened there is a double suicide down by the river. Does Reiji have any power over his fate, or will he too fall into the abyss?

Reiji’s mother is checked out, he’s stuck caring for his incapacitated grandmother, and his childhood friend treats him like a lackey. So when beautiful, big-city pop idol Nagi miraculously shows up at the local convenience store, Reiji is starstruck. When she offers him the ultimate way out of his claustrophobic existence, will he succumb to temptation…?
