Ikebukuro Hyakutenkai

In 1984 Tokyo, a man named Goro visits the bustling Ikebukuro district, where he encounters a peculiar gathering known as the Hyakutenkai. This group, led by a mysterious figure, holds meetings in a cramped room above a shop, attracting a mix of curious locals and drifters. Goro becomes drawn into their activities, observing their rituals and interactions.

As Goro delves deeper, he discovers the Hyakutenkai's true purpose: a collective of individuals seeking to escape the pressures of modern life through shared experiences and unconventional practices. The group's dynamics shift as tensions arise, forcing Goro to confront his own desires and the boundaries of belonging. The story explores themes of alienation and human connection in a rapidly changing urban landscape.
