El marino que perdió la gracia del mar

Noboru is an orphaned thirteen-year-old teenager who lives with his widowed mother, who runs a major fashion store in Yokohama. He and his friends are good students, but that doesn't stop them from forming a disturbing gang with particular ideas about existence and honor, about life and death. Noboru attends the relationship that his mother establishes with Ryuji, a sailor that he envelops in a certain heroic aura and that he praises in front of his friends. However, little by little but inexorably, Ryuji will fall out of favor with the boy and the clan of teenagers, who will only find a drastic way to redeem him.
