Boy's Abyss, Vol. 15

Self-serving adults and broken dreams push a teenage boy trapped in a dead-end town closer and closer toward the abyss. Reiji’s life is as miserable as the small town he can’t escape. The most interesting thing that’s ever happened there is a double suicide down by the river. Does Reiji have any power over his fate, or will he too fall into the abyss? Reiji tries to rescue Chako from herself—but will his efforts help or make things worse? An unexpected role model may tip the balance. Meanwhile, Ms. Shiba would stand to benefit from her mother’s advice, and Nagi finally figures out what she wants. Will Reiji? Then, a dying Esemori gives his blessing... for what it’s worth.
