The Things We Do in Secret (Light Novel) Volume 1 - Paperback

"If there is no one who listens, nowhere for the bitterness to go, then one day the heart will break."

One day after work, Suzuki Kenji is stopped by Saya, a high school girl. She asks him for money, and, eventually he becomes her confidante, her partner in crime, her only friend. They meet up in a park few people go to, on a bench no one ever sits on, a quiet island in the middle of the city. Here they talk about their lives, their secrets - and something they plan on doing, something that no one can find out about.

Suzuki Kenji continues to live his life: Go to work, meet new colleagues, dealing with the flow of adulthood. Saya's existence is just a small, insignificant part of his life. She's all trouble and no benefit. But he always ends up back on the park bench. Because he knows she is waiting for him.
