Hikari no Machi

Also known as: ひかりのまち, Le Quartier de la Lumière, Cidade da Luz, El Barrio de la Luz, Sun Village, La Ciudad de la Luz, Osiedle Promieniste, La Città della Luce

by Inio Asano

The city of light is a town above a hill, called that because it's surrounded by the sun, but it hides an obscure side. There, lives Tasuku, a young kid who works as a 'messenger' for a mysterious group who organizes suicides on the phone. At the same time other youngsters like him are trying to survive the everyday's life: Satoshi changes one occasional job after another, Momoko is the daughter of a prostitute who abandoned her. Finally there's Hoichi who is always involved in dirty business, among which is the suicidal group, but at least he has a dream: earning enough money to buy the whole place and turning it back into the country village he was born in. Note: Includes two extra chapters.
