1 peopleWinner of the 58th Bungeisho Award, the story follows 'he' as he acquires a small mobile surveillance camera and races through the city, forcing ordinary scenes to appear alien through a machine's eye. The premise reassembles the world from an extremely small point of view, creating both lightness and unease at once.
A pair of eyes just a few centimeters above the ground changes the city's outline.
