Miyata, a 30-year-old who quit his job in a state of mental and physical exhaustion, hears from his only friend Hamano that factory contract work is a position where you have little contact with people and are not even considered human. He decides to work at the factory alongside Hamano. In circumstances that feel as though his humanity is being steadily eroded, Miyata gradually begins to seek something more human, all while secretly harboring a hidden burden. Winner of the 16th Shosetsu Yasei Jidai Newcomer Award.

Just live without making a fuss, that is enough.
