Absolute Youth

In the summer of a certain year near the beginning of the new century, in order to live with his father, Ayumi Aizawa came to a small town 2 hours' train ride away from Tokyo. Bu is a middle school student who doesn't go to school. The reason is unknown. It seems to be related to some kind of reason, but it's not that kind of reason. Bu, who feels bored no matter where he goes or what he does, comes to spend a summer with his father because of his mother's idea. His parents divorced when he was still young, and he and his father had not seen each other for four years. Bu did not respond positively to his mother's proposal. To the lifeless Bu, his mother offered to buy him a mountain bike in exchange for letting him meet his father. Now that he had said that, Ayuya had to cheer up. In this way, we finally arrived at the small town. His mother said that Bu had been here once when he was a child, but he had no memory at all.
