Unlucky Young Men: Coup d'État

In late 1950s and early 1960s Japan, a series of shocking crimes—the Komatsugawa Incident, the wedding parade stone-throwing incident, and the stabbing of the Socialist Party chairman—capture the nation's attention. Two literary figures of the era find themselves strangely drawn to these events, their lives intertwining with the turbulent social climate.

As the sense of confinement grows in a rapidly changing society, a group of young men grapple with their own ambitions and frustrations. What were they trying to achieve through these acts of defiance? The story explores their motivations and the dark undercurrents of a generation seeking meaning in a world of shifting values.
