Christmas Tina: Ephemeral Views of Winter

It is the year 1988. Japan is in the midst of the bubble economy. New buildings are sprouting up everywhere, and the people are ecstatic. The old disappears and the new is born, but there are some people, some places, some things, that nobody notices... or perhaps nobody chooses to notice them. This is a story of people who live for one year... in such a little corner of the city. Kanna is a first-year high school student who's involved in a traffic accident during the summer. She finds herself unable to stay in her hometown any longer. Jing fails his university entrance exams in China. He spends a year or so working at a job he doesn't like. Both of them hear of the incredible opportunities presenting themselves in the bubble economy of Tokyo. Therefore, Kanna drops out of high school and goes to Tokyo. Jing quits his job and goes to Japan. The job both of them set their eyes on, would have them simply living in an old, run-down train station. Although the job only pays a measly 400 yen per hour, it runs for 24 hours a day, so it really isn't that bad. They wouldn't have to pay rent, heating, or electricity. Kanna is a bit awkward around people, and Jing doesn't speak Japanese. The employer only wants one person. Neither wants to give up on this job, so the woman in charge recommends that they simply do it together... [From MangaGamer]
