Saturn Return

Author Ritsuko Kaji despairs over her writer's block, and while her young editor is supposed to present the successful author's new work, he is afraid that his job will also be on the line, if she should fail. Together they then embark on a search for ways to build on her success and for the secrets of Ritsuko's friend from the past, who's partly responsible for her success. Or is there no sequel at all, since the story is over? Akane Torikai tells us about the life of a young woman caught in the norms of society, who has desires from the past and future and a one and only bestseller. Freeing herself from a toxic relationship and the simple desire for happiness is merely part of her struggle. "Saturn Return" gives us insight into everyday life in Japan with fascinating drawings of rainy Tokyo, where the working world and the pressure to be a perfect family are unrelenting.
