This book is actually a combination of four stories revolving around the suburbs Ikebukuro West Gate Park, the main character Makoto and gangs prevailing in this part of town. Different stories that could be likened to new but following a logical and temporal link. This is a book that's worth - despite a rather high price - it is very well written, the plots are developed: it is not very complicated but there are a lot of suspense and scenarios are quite varied. The characters are developed enough psychologically and Makoto does not go for the superhero able to do everything - it is often accompanied.
* "Ikebukuro West Gate Park": T.Bien, well written and good plot, even if it is rather simple style draws the reader's attention.
* "Excitable Boy": same
* "The lovers of the oasis" T.Bien too - I loved the history and purpose that reflects reality.
* "Civil War Street Sunshine": T.Bien and very interesting. Narrative that varies relative to the previous three, and again I loved the story.
