Thank you for viewing! As you can see, the cover has some scratches, but the inside is completely clean with no yellowing. [Winner of the 34th Shibata Renzaburo Prize] -- A shocking work that depicts the fundamental desires (desires) of human beings, which everyone has turned away from. People who are labeled as "not normal" in society and become isolated because they have a certain "sexual preference." Without questioning the contours of "normality," do we not see those outside of it as something we cannot understand, something distant? "Seiyoku" (Rightful Desire) is a group drama in which the lives of people who live with their respective **"righteousness" and "desires"** intersect and collide. The characters who weave the story: • Prosecutor: A man who cannot escape the framework of "normality" within himself. • Cafe worker: A woman who hides her sexual orientation and continues to worry about how to get along with the world. • University student: A young man who becomes dependent on a secret "connection" that he cannot confide in anyone. They feel the difficulty of living due to the society's **"invisible pressure" and "unconscious prejudice,"** and feel a large gap between their hearts and the world. The core of this work: This book vividly depicts the appearance of **"the fundamental desires and longing for a place to belong that are unavoidable in human life,"** using the "sexual desire" they hold as an entry point. • Why do people seek "normality"? • Who decides what is "righteousness"? • Can people with different desires not live together? As you read on, you will feel the wavering of your own **"common sense" and "justice,"** and you will deeply question **"what it means to understand others."** "Seiyoku" (Rightful Desire) -- A book that shatters your "normality."
