This was a very great story. I liked how the main character, Nakata, slowly revealed more and more about Naruse. The most outstanding part of this story was, in my opinion, the characterisation: the characters were very believable; flawed, but still unique and strong (I especially loved Azuma Reiko in this story). The ending was shocking and unexpected, but very suitable for the story - bitter-sweet and realistic. I recommend this story to anyone who wants a realistic portrayal of the cruel and cold show-biz world.
