A world on the brink of disaster, where children with new attitudes are awakening with strange new abilities - but can they change the course of history in time to save the human race?

Yuri, a 17-year-old girl, is starting in a new high school where she hopes to re-commence a normal student life. But when she witnesses an unusual classmate, Tengo, get struck by a car and walk away unscathed, she decides to reveal her secrets.

What makes Yuri special has, however, not gone unnoticed by The Complex, a shadowy organisation that has been hunting her and will not stop until they discover the source of her powers. She will need the help of Tengo and his gifted misfit friends to escape The Complex's control and help realise the destiny of Generation Alpha.

In Monkey Man, translated by Lisa and Daniel Lilley, Takuji Ichikawa, one of Japan's most imaginative, bestselling and unusual authors, creates a page-turning story about the children of tomorrow who will be called on to heal the world from spiritual and environmental decay.

About the Author
Ichikawa, Takuji: - "Takuji Ichikawa is an author who ignores traditional boundaries and is impossible to pigeonhole. One whose positive and fantastical narratives touch the soul through storytelling that not only 'transforms and heals', but also sells in the millions. After initially publishing stories online, his second novel 'Ima Ai ni Yukimasu' (Be With You) became a blockbuster, selling more than a million copies in Japan, putting Ichikawa on the Japanese literary map. The publication of 'Be With You' also sparked the imagination of others, leading to the creation of a Japanese film, several international remakes, a television drama and a manga. Ichikawa's works, which often depict love and loss, continue to resonate and be adapted for film. And Ichikawa, who has been diagnosed as having Asperger's Syndrome, continues to consistently demonstrate that literature has and should have no borders, and that being different is all about being special - something that should be celebrated."Lilley, Lisa: - Lisa Lilley is a Tokyo-based freelance editor and translator. She has also taught English at rural secondary schools in Japan.Lilley, Daniel: - Daniel Lilley studied abroad in Kyoto and won a university prize for translation and literary analysis projects. After a period of teaching he now lives in Tokyo where his work involves translation and interpretation.
