Montage (WATANABE Jun)

Sixteen-year-old Yamato searches for the truth behind his father’s death and a notorious unsolved bank robbery from 1968. The mystery begins when, at age ten, he and his friend Miku find a dying man in an alley. The stranger recognizes Yamato and tells him that his father was involved in the robbery, then warns the children to trust no one. Yamato and Miku keep the man’s words secret, but only days later Yamato’s father is found dead. His death is ruled a suicide, and Yamato is taken in by Miku’s parents. Six years on, he remains troubled by the events and wonders whether he can uncover the truth. The story moves between the present and earlier periods, as Yamato and his cousin Miku investigate their parents’ deaths and their possible connection to a fugitive wanted for more than forty years.
