Kousatsu plot

Tsutomu is strangled by his father. He was a troubled young man living in what he saw as a hypocritical adult world. His father was too demanding and owed his fortune to an inheritance, while his mother was always overprotective. Tsutomu fell in love with a girl, but saw her being raped by her uncle. After killing this uncle, she asked Tsutomu to visit her in a remote place, where he experienced his one true moment of happiness.
