A grand tale of love, friendship, and family spanning 70 years, set between the coal industry boom in Hashima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture, from 1955 and modern-day Tokyo. The story weaves together the bonds of family, human interactions, and tales of youth and love during the post-war recovery and the high-growth economic period, a time of “nothing much but full of dreams and vitality.” (Source: Japanese = tbs.co.jp || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation

Reviews
A Roman based on Hashima Island History
A historical fiction romam set on Hashima Island, told in a Titanic-esque narrative. The seamless blend of past and present, coupled with well-balanced storytelling, captivated me. The world-building of island life is meticulously crafted.What stands out most is the exquisite characterization and interwoven storylines. Subtle romantic undertones amidst life's struggles are a delight.
Tao Tsuchiya delivers her best performance as Yuriko. Kamiki Ryunosuke proves himself as one of Japan's finest actors in his generation, masterfully portraying dual roles with distinct mannerisms.
Akiko Nogi showcases exceptional storytelling, weaving romance and crafting compelling characters
