Summary:

"Twenty-five-year-old Yasuko has been living with her kind but apathetic boyfriend Tsunaki for three years. During this time, she has suffered waves of depression and hypersomnia, staying in bed for days on end, mired in ennui. Taking over some of the house chores when Tsunaki begins working longer hours, hoping to break out of her rut, turns into a disaster. An attempt at cooking dinner ends with her sobbing in a pitch-black hallway, groping around for the tripped circuit breaker. Desperate to be "functional," Yasuko lands a part-time job at a restaurant where, for the first time, she experiences a warm, family-like environment. But even the care from her coworkers eventually suffocates her, her manic-depression returns, and she storms out of the restaurant. Confronting her brokenness, she questions what she has been afraid to face and asks Tsunaki: Why are you with me?"-- Provided by publisher.
