人生の旅人

A story of a university student who deliberately sets out on an inconvenient journey in order to gain freedom

Synopsis

No spoilers

Tomoya, a university student who wants to set out on a journey that changes him, is offered an unusual journey by his best friend Natsuki. They will decide neither the means of transport nor a guide, and carry no extra luggage. By not arranging comfort in advance, the journey creates both the freedom of choosing for oneself and encounters one did not expect. In small movements along the way, Tomoya comes into contact with Natsuki's thinking about wealth, the motive for action, passion, and the time of the present. A short story that reconsiders travel not as a distant departure from everyday life, but as a reflection of how one lives day by day.
