Absolute Boy

Loneliness can leave people at their most fragile, especially when they struggle to connect with others. Even in a crowd, isolation can feel sharper, driving some to seek comfort in odd places where the unfamiliar lingers. Ayumu Aizawa, a city boy adjusting to rural life in Tana, and Kisa Tanigawa, a girl who finds it hard to fit in, both carry the same weight-a sense that their lives have drifted off course. "Zettai Shounen" unfolds through eerie occurrences in two separate settings, their origins unexplained and their sudden presence a mystery. The only link is that these strange events seem drawn to people wrestling with tangled feelings-about themselves and those around them.
