Description
Novelist Rinji Sasai has spent years living in New York, but due to unforeseen circumstances, he is forced to return alone to Tokyo. Accustomed to the freedom of solitary life, he now finds himself adjusting to a different rhythm. Every Sunday, his routine is interrupted by visits from his son Max and son-in-law Yasu. Together, the three of them attempt to make the most of their weekends, navigating the small pleasures, quiet conflicts, and subtle connections that arise during their shared time. The story unfolds through an episodic, slice-of-life structure, exploring the dynamics of a father reconnecting with his adult son and his son-in-law, the cultural and emotional shifts of returning to Japan after a long absence, and the ways family bonds are renegotiated across generations. Additional one-shots included in the volumes, such as Skyscraper Blues and Old Sightseer Blues, extend the thematic atmosphere of urban loneliness and quiet observation that runs through the main narrative.
