Fukuyama Youji

A man suddenly gets off the train at some rural station, and soon comes to realize that this town can't be found on any map. Even stranger are the manners of Uroshima's townspeople - because over there people are doing it openly on the street, in broad daylight, just like you'd say "hello" to somebody elsewhere. And there are many other things being weird about this little town Uroshima, seasons are randomly coming and going, and our protagonist meets the woman of his life. Shouldn't be hard to get her given the prevalent manners…

Hired for an eviction of an apartment resident, lawyer Midorikawa visited a mysterious apartment. Since the visit, he has been haunted by these visions of "Angels," small naked girls who have faces that of a doll. These Angels freely teleport between TV, phone, and computer monitors and enter the human body. They feed off of the human spirit, what they call "nectar." Are these Angels real? Are they part of a horrific dream? Through Midorikawa's body, they escape the infected apartment. Now, they spread their horrors upon the city!
