Abstract
A young Japanese man named Yuto goes to work at a
publishing house one morning to find that his perfectionist
supervisor has made a mistake in his correction of a manuscript.
This mistake is only the first in a series of strange events that
lead him to believe he is being given a second chance with Shiori,
a friend from high school whom he dated and broke up with in
college due to a mysterious physical condition that becomes his
obsession. Though Yuto is given clues to Shiori's presence in his
life--she leaves him notes and various dishes of food, and his
parents and others comment on the progress of their
relationship--Yuto can find no trace of her as a tangible entity.
In other words, their relationship seems to exist only in the realm
of theory. Yuto becomes increasingly disconcerted by an assortment
of mistakes in his surroundings, and he finds himself assailed by
the same doubts about his condition that led to his first break
from Shiori. This torment culminates in his being replaced by a
theoretical Yuto as the lover of the theoretical Shoiri.
