The novel asks: Is it better to be a victim with a "pure soul" or an aggressor with power?
The novel is set in the 1990s and follows a nameless fourteen-year-old boy, known only as "Eyes" because of his lazy eye. He is relentlessly bullied by two classmates, Ninomiya and Momose. The violence is not just physical (dirty toilets, stolen lunches) but psychological. In a surprising twist, "Eyes" forms a fragile, literary friendship with a similarly ostracized girl named Kojima, who is bullied for her extreme poverty and dirty clothes. heaven mieko kawakami pdf
