“city boy” by Shigesato Itoi

A boy who notices cologne wane the smell of sweat. A boy without a handkerchief… soon he has 80 percent of them all.

A boy so versed in the inner city’s alleyways and exits. For some reason, the outskirts are unfamiliar to him.

A boy who specializes in seducing every woman except the city girls. I’m not really sure why.
