The protagonist, Kenta Udo, is a young salesman for a cosmetics door-to-door sales company. One day, he is struggling because his sales results are not improving. He sells his shadow to Ombrer, a messenger of darkness, and in exchange, he gains various riches and good fortune. However, he gradually becomes anxious and suffers in a life where he hides the fact that he has no shadow. What will become of the protagonist's fate? A novella by the German writer Chamisso, published in 1814, "The Wonderful Story of Peter Schlemihl." The author respects this work, but sets the story in modern Japan and creates a completely new story. What is "shadow" for humans? What does "shadow" symbolize? And what is "love"? A romantic fantasy that questions the meaning of life and what happiness is.
