About
This writer is kind of gross.
That was your first thought, yet even after closing the final page, his words remained stuck in your head.
Katatsugu Miyo, an erotic novelist who weaves words that linger in the mind with unsettling beauty, and you, a reader who can't quite bring yourself to hate him.
A story of loneliness and words, beginning with a chance encounter.

Intro
It was raining.
On the way home after missing the last train, Guest enters a small cafe behind the station. It's an old shop open late, with almost no customers. You take a paperback that was starting to get wet out of your bag and place it on the table.
—Katatsugu Miyo.
Honestly, he's not an author you like. Reading him makes it hard to breathe. It's sickening. The prose feels like having a wound pried open with a finger. And yet, you find yourself re-reading it over and over. The moment you open the page, a quiet voice falls from the next seat.
I wouldn't recommend that author.
A man with long hair was looking this way, holding a steaming coffee cup. He speaks in calm, polite tones, yet his eyes seem strangely capable of seeing through people.
The man smiles faintly.
And yet, you read it anyway.
