A Drop

Shinji is a 16-year-old boy who has suffered from abuse and neglect by his family all his life. His only escape is reading manga, especially adult ones, that he secretly buys from a nearby bookstore. One day, his parents discover his stash of manga and, in a fit of rage, kick him out of the house with nothing but the clothes on his back.

Now homeless and alone, Shinji wanders the streets of Tokyo, looking for a place to stay and a way to survive. Along the way, he meets various people who are also struggling with their own problems, such as a runaway girl, a drug addict, a gangster, and a prostitute. He soon realizes that he has a strange ability: he can sense the emotions of anyone he touches, whether they are happy, sad, angry, or afraid.
