This is such a fantastic book! When a fifteen-year-old boy runs away from his affluent Tokyo home, his life becomes intertwined with that of someone he has never met; an old man who supplements his government subsidy by finding lost cats. Their strange stories lead up to an ending which is satisfying even though it leaves a lot of questions still unanswered.
