Boy's Abyss, Vol. 9 -- Ryo Minenami

<b>Self-serving adults and broken dreams push a teenage boy trapped in a dead-end town closer and closer toward the abyss.</b> <p/>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? <p/>Reiji, Gen, and Chako become ever more entangled in Ms. Shiba's web of lies and manipulation. Finally, the childhood friends have the courage to leave town for Tokyo. But sometimes achieving a dream only leads to new problems. Is it true that you can never escape yourself?<br><br><b>Author:</b> Ryo Minenami<br><b>Publisher:</b> Viz Media<br><b>Published:</b> 04/22/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 216<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781974752447<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Ryo Minenami was born in Tokyo, Japan.
