Insincere playboy teacher, Kurosawa, meets earnest kid, Mamaru, who is fed up to the gills with players because of having to play nursemaid to his divorced cheater father for most of his teenaged life. The story progresses predictably according to stock Peter Pan and Wendy romance tropes, but the insights culled from so much time wasted babysitting one's man-baby of a dad make it a little more interesting than usual. In the time it took for me to write this paragraph, I've already forgotten what the last 2 short stories were about.
