绝对少年

新世纪之初不久某年的夏天，为了与父亲生活，逢泽步来到了距东京2小时火车车程的小镇。 　　步是不去上学的中学生。原因不明。似乎和什么样的理由都沾一点边，但又不是那种理由。觉得无论走到哪、无论做什么都无聊的步，来和父亲度过一个夏天，是因为母亲出的主意。双亲在他还小的时候离婚了，他和父亲也4年没有见面了。步并非积极地响应母亲的提案。对毫无朝气的步，妈妈提出要以买个山地自行车为交换条件，让他去和父亲见面。既然话都这么说了，步也不得不打起点精神。 　　这样步终于到了那个小镇。母亲说步小时曾来过一次，但他一点印象也没有。田菜——在围绕着广阔的水田的山的斜面的，似乎被农家钉子一样点缀着的小盆地。在看见这景象的瞬间，步就后悔来到这里了。因为无论从什么角度怎么看都是不变的田舍，实在是寒酸得要死。 　　然而，这么想可就大错特错了....Oftentimes, people are most vulnerable when they are lonely and unable to get along with those around them. Isolation is felt more keenly amongst a crowd, so some will try to find solace in the strangest of places, where the unknown lurks. Such people include Ayumu Aizawa, a former city boy now living in the countryside of Tana, and Kisa Tanigawa, a young girl who has a hard time relating to others. What these two share in common is a feeling that their life has gone astray. Zettai Shounen tells a story of strange phenomena affecting two different settings, with no explanations of their origin or sudden appearance. All that is known is that these phenomena seem to center on individuals with mixed emotions toward themselves and others.
