Saltiness

サルチネス

Takehiko Nakamaru, a 31-year-old man, has spent years rigorously training his mind to remain utterly unfazed by any of life's absurdities. He lives a shut-in existence, believing he has achieved perfect harmony by conquering "life" itself. However, his carefully constructed peace shatters when he realizes his presence at home is preventing his younger sister from getting married.

Panicked by this revelation, Takehiko flees his rural home and heads to Tokyo, determined to finally face and defeat the monster he calls "life." Penniless and homeless, he navigates the harsh realities of the big city with only his iron will, discovering that people are far less kind than he imagined. His journey of survival takes an unexpected turn when he encounters another man in a similar plight, who seeks friendship, forcing Takehiko to confront new challenges in his solitary battle.
