Finale of the Four Seasons series by Mori, dealing with one of his favourite pet characters. A deliberately confusing book, the timeline is all jumbled up, you're never really sure of what is going on, but as a character study of this character, I think that I rather enjoyed the Four Seasons series as a whole. Mori views all four volumes as part of one giant book and I have to say that I agree, giving a picture of this character's life over the years.
