In Maru Ayase’s The Forest Brims Over, Rui, a woman who is muse for her writer husband’s literary efforts, has enough of being exploited for inspiration, swallows a bowl of seeds, and sprouts into a tree. Instead of seeking intervention, her husband, Tetsuya, places her in an aquaterrarium and begins drafting his next novel based on her transformation. But Rui grows and grows into an overwhelming forest, forcing Tetsuya to confront the realities of his life and literary work.
