Synopsis

Takehiko Nakamaru has spent the last 17 years honing his skills to remain unfazed by anything that life throws his way. Yet during this time, his shut-in lifestyle immensely worries his younger sister and grandfather. Fearing that Takehiko is the reason his sister will not marry, their grandfather encourages him to find a job and start a normal life.

Instead of doing what he was advised, Takehiko flees his rural home and hitchhikes to Tokyo. Wanting nothing more than for his sister to be happy, he resolves to face off against an opponent he calls "life." Penniless and starving yet full of courage, Takehiko traverses around the big city, only to find that the people are not nearly as kind as he imagined.

While Takehiko wallows in his self-induced misfortunes, another man in a similar situation appears, asking to become friends. Wary of what a potential friendship might bring, Takehiko decides to keep the man at arm's length, hoping that it will allow him to survive in his battle against the world.

Despite living as a NEET with his grandpa and sister in the countryside, he spends his days tilting at windmills to protect the happiness of his sister, the only thing that matters in his nihilist worldview. Believing he had slain the monster known as life, one day he suddenly discovers he is the very thing holding his sister back from a life of her own. Shocked, he flees home, to find and prove his ...

If you are a seasoned reader of manga, it may be that one day your curiosity puts on your path an author named Furuya Minoru. An author who is beginning to be known in the West thanks to the publication of his various mangas, but who in the archipelago is already recognized as a great author, who has inspired people like Inio Asano.

Here we have the opportunity to talk about Saltiness, one of the most atypical manga of the author.
