Summary
An intriguing and provocative collection of short stories by the author of Short Cuts and The Music of Marie. Each story features a girl as an important character with an unusual problem: a high-school student who loves her teacher, a teenager who no longer fits into her cousin’s pedophiliac fantasy, an unhappy girl who yearns to become the devil’s bride to escape her troubled life, etc. Beautiful, sad and at times incredibly haunting, Happiness is not only a must-read for fans of Furuya, but also those who enjoy mature and intricate stories with a strong erotic theme.

Summary
Left to himself at an early age in the slummiest parts of today’s Japan, Kiichi learns how to survive on his own. As a teenager, how can he adapt to a society whose rules he rejects? Unless he creates his own rules… Just like in The World Is Mine, the other series by Hideki Arai, the satirical author levels a violent and exhilarating accusation against the contemporary hypocrisy and stupidity with a malevolent jubilation. Kiichi, a raw icon of strength and integrity, stands alone against the world’s injustice and becomes an unforgettable character. (From Angoulême Festival Catalog 2007)
