Solitude, family, and the pull of the mountain

In this seventh volume, Buntaro Mori’s life has taken on a settled shape: he has a wife and young daughter, and works as a researcher for the WEC. That stability sits alongside a past defined by solitary climbing and the freedom he found in testing himself against the heights. An old ambition and a new challenge at work bring that past back into view, with K2 as the looming test. The volume’s central tension links the demands of adult life with Mori’s enduring attraction to dangerous ascent, while continuing the series’ exploration of solitude and the limits of leaving human ties behind.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Manga readers following Buntaro Mori’s climbing story from earlier volumes.
  • Readers interested in stories that connect mountaineering with solitude, family life, and personal ambition.
  • Adult readers seeking a graphic novel centered on perilous climbing and its pull.

Book overview

The harder you climb, the higher you live.

Buntaro Mori is a loner, but being alone in a crowd is almost as bad as being forced to fit in. When a dangerous bid for solitude introduces Mori to the rush of solo climbing, he becomes addicted to the brilliant sense of freedom he finds as he pits his body and soul against the heights. But how high does he have to climb to leave humanity behind?

After the solitary turbulence of his youth, Buntaro has found peace and contentment in adulthood. With a wife, a baby daughter, and a steady job as a researcher for the WEC, he no longer yearns for the terrible glory of the peaks. But when an old ambition converges with a new challenge at work, Buntaro finds himself being drawn back into the perilous, addictive world of climbing. Will the call of K2 prove to be too much to resist?
