The cover illustration is drawn by Shuzo Oshimi, who has a reputation for delicate psychological descriptions of a person, such as comics "Illow Flower", "Okaeri Alice", and "Rut of Blood". This is a work for this book in response to Rintaro Fuse's passionate love call.
The binding was handled by Ginzaro Yagi, a designer who is holding a two-person exhibition with Rintaro Fuse, "The Book of Sand THE BOOK OF ARENA".

"Tears." It is the same physiological reaction to the conflicting stimulus of joy and sadness, pleasure and pain. Using the phenomenon of "tears" as the subject, we appeal to contradictions in humans and undefined ambiguity.
While spreading to the motifs of "sea," "death," and "sex," the world intersects in a single book.

―This is a catalog of "tears". This catalog is due to the past that could not be organized. A drop of "tears" that each one might not have flowed.

―――
I've never seen a happy and crying child, but you shed tears when you are happy
(Excerpted from "Personal Computer for Children of All Ages")

I'm glad I'm sorry.
Be one
It hurts, feels good.
I hate it, I love you vomit, don't get close
Everything is equal weight
Add color to eyelids
(Excerpt from "Tear-1")

This is a catalog of tears. This catalog is due to the past that could not be organized. I don't give up. I want to give a place to stay for those who are unsorted. I don't want to make one of the reasons for tears. My mother's death was falling. Your tears may be shed for you only.
(Excerpt from "Tear-1")
