Synopsis

A kind man aspires to become a manga writer, but villains and evil deeds do not come easily to him, for he has little experience or natural inclination for them. Things take a surprise turn when he comes across a family who were described as idealized that are no more. He uses the real-life situation for his work.

The film excels in its structured storytelling, atmospheric visuals, and powerful performances—especially by Masaki Suda, who delivers a nuanced portrayal unlike his previous roles. Supporting actors also shine, contributing to a convincing and balanced cast. However, despite its strengths, the film falls short in certain areas such as implausible murder scenes, underdeveloped character backstories, and a conclusion that, while thought-provoking, leaves several loose ends and unanswered questions.
