Meiko quits her job on impulse. Her boyfriend Taneda still plays guitar in a band that's going nowhere. They live in a small Tokyo apartment and tell themselves there's still time to figure it out. There isn't, and somewhere they both know it.

Inio Asano's Solanin is the definitive manga about being young and not knowing what to do with it — the gap between who you thought you'd become and who you're actually becoming.
