After watching this movie I was genuinely touched by the storyline. Asato moves to a small run-down town to be closer to his mother, who is in a nearby jail. There he meets Takeo, a troubled guy with a dark past who gets in fights alot. Takeo discovers Asato's powers to be able to transfer pain/scars/wounds from other people unto himself. This is soon the beginning of their friendship as Asato is able to rely on his first friend. Little by little, they start making improvments in their lives. Takeo past unravels as he tries to deal with the pain. What is it that Takeo can't let go of from his past? And why is Asato's mother in jail? With power Asato is able to transfer pain from the people around him, but how much pain can he inflict himself? This focuses mainly on the emotional feelings and the importance of life. This is not a movie for those expecting fast-paced action. Like I said, this is based on feelings and the meaning of friendship.
