(main film)
The world of "Saezuru Tori Wa Habatakanai" did not appear fully formed. It was born from two earlier one-shot stories that laid the essential thematic and narrative groundwork. The first of these is the namesake of the recent OVA, which was originally published in 2008. It was followed shortly after by "Though They Drift, They Do Not Sink, But Nor Do They Sing" (2009). Both of these short stories are set in the same gritty yakuza underworld, introducing readers to characters who would eventually orbit the main story. Critically, "Don't Stay Gold" serves as a prequel, focusing on a relationship between an underground doctor, Kanji Kageyama, and a hot-headed young delinquent named Eishin Kuga, a man whose explosive violence earned him the terrifying nickname "Mad Dog."
The title "Stay Gold" is inspired by Robert Frost's poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay", which speaks to the fleeting nature of innocence and beauty. This theme is woven throughout the film, as we follow the lives of two main characters navigating love, loss, and self-discovery.
The film (often abbreviated as "mtrjm" for "translated" or "subtitled" in various communities) is a 2021 Original Animation DVD (OAD) that serves as a prequel/spin-off to the main Twittering Birds Never Fly series. Plot Summary
