Mumei no Jinsei
From birth to death, each person goes through life with a variety of nicknames, and sometimes derogatory. The story depicts the beautiful yet sorrowful life of the protagonist who, unintentionally, rises to the top, against a backdrop of problems we are facing today, such as elderly drivers, the dark side of the entertainment industry, the unknown deaths of young people, and war.
