あらすじ
This is an autobiographical record of my younger days, describing the events of the three years from 1950. In a sense, it is a semi-documentary-style personal novel.
At the time, I was enrolled in the first year of a new university and was involved in theater club activities and planning regional performances. This is an unadorned and honest account of my love life and daily reflections during that time, in other words, a record of a young man’s growth.
