>p>An off-kilter darkly ironic novella about a boy's strange
obsession with the Japanese crested ibis, from a Japanese literary
star Seventeen-year-old Haruo spends all his waking hours online,
fixated on the endangered Japanese crested ibis, Nipponia Nippon.
Alone in his Tokyo apartment, living off his parents' indulgence,
he descends into a fantasy world where he alone shares a bond with
the last of these noble birds, their lives caged in the national
conservation centre. Haruo's destiny becomes clear. He will free
the birds-alive or dead-from an undeserving civilization. As
Haruo's emotional state grows increasingly erratic, he searches the
internet for weapons and prepares for the night of reckoning.
