In 1984, Aomame, a woman with two differently sized ears, commits an assassination during a rendezvous with a wealthy oil dealer, seeking to right a past wrong. Meanwhile, Tengo, an aspiring writer, is tasked with rewriting a novel by the eccentric 17-year-old Fukaeri to help her win a literary prize. Though the story is highly original, it is poorly written, making this a risky endeavor. Aomame begins to question why her crime has not been reported in the news and wonders if she has entered a parallel world. To distinguish this eerie realm from her ordinary life in 1984, she names it 1Q84. The narrative intertwines the lives of Aomame and Tengo as they navigate their respective journeys, exploring themes of reality, identity, and the nature of existence.
