'A cyberpunk coming-of-age tale' Japan Times 
Two babies are left in a Tokyo station coin locker and survive against the odds, but their lives are forever tainted by this inauspicious start. 
Raised amidst the outcasts and misfits of Toxitown, they carve out vastly different paths: one as a bisexual rock star on a desperate search for his mother, the other as an athlete consumed by revenge against the woman who left him behind.
When their twisted journeys start to intertwine, this savage and stunning story plunges headlong into a surrealistic whirl of violence.
