Magazine: Action!

Inspired by the Russian classic Crime and Punishment, retold through the eyes of a struggling Japanese writer, Ochiai Naoyuki's adaptation of Dostoevsky`s drama focuses on the issues of identity and the duality of life in a modern megapolis. The protagonist, a poor, moody student named Tachi Miroku, was recently recognized as the Best New Writer in a major literary competition, but the stress of living up to his family`s goals of him becoming a powerful man has broken him on the cusp of greatness. Despite his tremendous potential, success does not come easy. Alone and without direction, every day is a vicious battle with his past and his moral fiber. He hasn`t been to work in four months and his dreams are a total mess filled with abuse, taunting, and the strong smell of blood. And that is just the tip of the iceberg...
