Plot

[edit]

Seiichi Osabe is a shy middle school student living a relatively ordinary life. His mother, Seiko, is considered overprotective of him by others, although Seiichi is comfortable with the love and care from his mother and does not feel anything strange about her behavior. One day, Seiichi goes on a family hiking trip with his parents and paternal family. At one point, Seiichi's cousin, Shigeru, jokingly pushes Seiichi near a cliff edge, leading Seiko to quickly grab hold of Seiichi, protecting him from falling. The rest of the family starts laughing at Seiko over her "overprotective" act. A while later, Seiichi and Shigeru go to a higher cliff edge, and when Shigeru is on the cliff edge, Seiko, who was following them, approaches her nephew and pushes him off the cliff, giving a brief smile to her son. After the incident, where Shigeru is left in a comatose state and Seiichi was the only witness of what happened, he begins to discover how dangerous his mother's affection can become, and what follows is a series of events in which Seiichi's everyday life becomes a horror living under the disturbing protection of his own mother.

Characters

[edit]
Seiichi Osabe (長部 静一, Osabe Seiichi)
Seiichi is a shy middle school student with few friends and susceptible to manipulation and abuse. Seiichi is ridiculed due to the overprotective care that his mother, Seiko, has over him. However, after Seiko pushes Seiichi's cousin, Shigeru, off a cliff, his life is turned upside down, and Seiko begins to manipulate him more and more heavily. As a result of the psychological trauma his mother inflicts upon him, he develops linguistic problems.
Seiko Osabe (長部 静子, Osabe Seiko)
Seiko is Seiichi's mother. Seiko has psychiatric disorders and has an obsessive relationship with her son that pushes the boundaries of overprotectivity. She does not care about anything but her son and she is afraid that someone will take him away. Although, it is later revealed that she tried to kill him when he was smaller, throwing him off a hill slope. Seiko manages to disguise her true personality and manipulate Seiichi's memories of the past.
Yuiko Fukiishi (吹石 由衣子, Fukiishi Yuiko)
Yuiko is Seiichi's classmate. She lives alone with her alcoholic and abusive father, with whom she has a bad relationship after her mother abandoned them when she was younger. Seiichi and Yuiko fall in love, and she is the first to make him start doubting his mother's actions and their manipulative relationship.
Ichirō Osabe (長部 一郎, Osabe Ichirō)
Ichirō is Seiichi's father and Seiko's husband. He is a salaryman who works hard to keep the family together after the cliff incident. Ichirō has a caring and kind demeanor and a calm disposition. However, although he loves his family, he is not conscious about their problematic situation until Seiko tells Shigeru's parents that she pushed him off the cliff, and even then, Ichirō does not demonstrate a willingness to divorce when his wife suggests it.
Shigeru Mitsuishi (三石 しげる, Mitsuishi Shigeru)
Shigeru is Seiichi's cousin. He enjoys messing with Seiichi and is rude to say what he thinks, teasing Seiichi over his relationship with his mother. During a family hiking trip, Seiko pushes him off a cliff. Although Shigeru survives, he is left in a comatose state. Later, thanks to rehabilitation and the care of his mother, Seiichi's aunt, Shigeru partially regains consciousness and is terrified when he recognizes his aunt Seiko.

Regarding the series' title, Wolf commented that something from Pink Floyd's The Wall, in which "the narrator has issues with his domineering mother", would have been more fitting. Wolf concluded: "Blood on the Tracks has been thrilling reading so far, and it will be interesting to see where Oshimi takes the story".[56]
