The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck and God in a Coin Locker

Diminutive college freshman Shiina meets his new neighbor, the tall and quirky Kawasaki, while moving into his new apartment in Sendai. They don’t really seem to have anything in common, but immediately bond over their mutual love of Bob Dylan. Soon and quite unexpectedly, Kawasaki is inviting Shiina on a strange mission to steal a Kojien dictionary for their neighbor, an exchange student from the Kingdom of Bhutan. As an aside, he warns Shiina to steer clear of the pet shop owner Reiko at all costs.
The next day Kawasaki confesses that he used to date a former pet shop worker named Kotomi, but she dumped him for the very same Bhutanese guy they’re stealing the dictionary for. None of this particularly makes any sense to Shiina, but at this point, he’s simply too absorbed in his new friend’s bizarre life not to see this adventure through to the end.
