Like all his peers, the protagonist of the novel "The Belated Youth" was raised with the idea that it was every Japanese man's sacred duty to go to war and die for the Emperor. But by the time the protagonist reached adulthood, the war had ended, Japan had lost, and the Emperor had renounced his divine status.

And now the generation that was too late to die must learn to live with the shame of their unfulfilled duty to their homeland and find their own path in a world where moral compass has been eroded and former ideals have sunk into oblivion. But how can one avoid the complete collapse of hope when indifference, irresponsibility, and nihilism rule those around them?
