Anshitsu plot
After a long, difficult period, Nakada finally achieves success as a writer. He once lived with his wife, but she passed away and nowadays he only experiences some casual adventures. In these adventures he prefers to watch rather than participate in them, because of an indefinable feeling of guilt over the death of his wife. He also has a friend, Yamanoi, a writer who is just on his way back. Nakada suspected him at the time of sleeping with his wife. Yet they regularly wander around together, looking for inspiration for their writing.
