Thats understandable. I can’t really summarize it briefly but it really lays bare how brutal shit can get in an “advanced” capitalist society. It is an “existentialist” capitalist realist work so expect mind-bending depression if you ever read it. Japanese manga authors, being Japanese, have that weird combination of western liberal and social conformist thought to varying degrees and it shows in their storytelling and worldview. This one is no exception.
