À travers l'amitié de deux adolescents confrontés à l'exclusion, «Heaven» est un roman puissant sur la question de l'identité et du rapport de soi au monde extérieur. Thèmes d'une grande richesse portés ici par des valeurs japonaises qui déplacent fortement l'interprétation intellectuelle occidentale.

There are all kinds of things in the world I don't understand, but I really wanted to understand you.

Children who feel pain are so young that their attempts to resolve it can be considered nothing but kindhearted 

“When you feel like everything’s falling apart, or feel like things are too good to be true,” I said, “when things get that way, you can cut my hair. Instead of cutting up the junk mail or whatever when nobody else is home. Just let me know, and you can cut it, whenever you want.”

“Sometimes you can’t see the scars. But there’s a lot of pain, I think.”
