What The River Fuefuki is

You’re the eldest son of a dirt-poor family living under the Fuefuki Bridge, where the water eats the fields whole. Then you step into a warlord’s shadow and your brothers follow, each carrying the river’s grief forward. Kinoshita shoots the span between generations like a wound that never closes.
