by Andreas Hartmann, Arata Mori
synopsis
Every year, thousands of people vanish without a trace in Japan. Known as the Johatsu, or "the evaporated," they abandon their lives for various reasons, a troublesome relationship, mounting debts or threats from the mafia. Some get support from so-called "night moving" companies, which help people to disappear and start a new life somewhere else.
