Nippon Retro   ² 

12-year-old Koichi, raised in a sect named “Nirvana”, has just escaped from a juvenile detention center when he inadvertently saves Yuki, a girl the same age as him, from a sexual assault. The two embark on a journey through the country, since Koichi hopes to reunite with his sister in Tokyo. Inspired by the 1995 gas attacks by the Omu Shinrikyo sect, Akihiko SHIOTA tells the story of two outsiders who have to find their place in a hostile society.
