Lead Actor Quote: "You’re right…
I can’t be Motoi Umeji." (そうだな……俺は
本居梅次にはなれない)
Introduction
The lovely you, and my days of anguish. Today too, we’ll go through the impasse.
近代文学を代表する文豪、本居梅次を祖父に持ち、自らも大学生のときに鮮烈デビューを飾った作家・本居鶴松。出自の話題性もあって鶴松はデビュー作から大ヒット、順調に著作を刊行して、作家としての地位を確固たるものとしていた。
しかし、祖父も受賞した文学賞にノミネートされるも受賞を二度、三度と逃し、スランプに陥っていた。デビューから世話になっている編集部からも新しい方向性の新作を求められるが、迷走気味となっていた。
Motoi Tsurumatsu, the grandson of Motoi Umeji— one of the greatest writers of modern history— made his own impressive literary debut as a university student. Partly due to the esteem of his family name, Tsurumatsu’s debut novel was a massive hit. He steadily began to publish more works, solidifying his position as a writer.
In the meantime, Tsurumatsu is nominated for a literary award, one which his grandfather had previously won. But after losing out on the award two, three times, he fell into a slump. The editorial department, which had taken care of him since his debut, requested he take his new work in a different direction. Still, Tsurumatsu felt it was a lost cause.
