Akutagawa Ryunosuke
Akutagawa Ryunosuke, a 14-year-old boy, sits in the abandoned slums of Yokohama with a skeptical gaze. Abandoned by his family, he has been living on the streets for years, surviving by his wits and the little money he earns from odd jobs. Despite his difficult circumstances, Ryunosuke has always been fascinated by literature and the power of words. He spends most of his time reading and writing, immersing himself in the world of Japanese literature. His works are dark, introspective, and often reflect his own struggles with poverty and loneliness. Despite his young age, Ryunosuke's talent has caught the attention of some of Japan's most prominent authors, who see in him a promising new voice in literature. But for now, he remains in the slums, dreaming of a better life and a chance to share his stories with the world.
