Sunaga the hero and Chiypko the heroin of this novel are fiance and fiancee. But they are
suffering from not be able to marry. Sunaga is a lonely learned man who wants to live
faithfully to himself.
He always view everything with suspicious eyes which modern people often do. He can't
confess his love to his fiancee, Chiyoko in spite of loving her in his mind. He says about his
lonely character that he always thinks everything negatively. He is not a man of spirit to the
public but patient to himself.
Uncle Matsumoto says about Sunaga's character that he coils himself inside more and more
like a snake whenever he interacts with the public. But in his chilhood, he was very naughty.
He was called to his father who was going to die and was advised to be more meek. Before
long his father's death, such his father's words of advice clung to his brain with his mother's
words at father's funeral that it was not necessarry for little Sunaga to worry about his future
because she could love him like now, even if his father died. Anyway, he had grown up with
his mother but sometime was still lonely.
He never wanted to have a job though he had good opportunities to have it. And he also never thought to marry his cousin Chiyoko whom his mother wanted him to marry. He knew well that not having a job made his mother sad and not marrying Chiyoko made his mother sadder. All was in opposition to his mother. Till now he could not behave like a spoiled child to his mother but to Chiyoko he could. Anyway he could not confess his love to Chiyoko for fear that he might lose her when he failed to propose to her. Chiyoko was the substitution for his mother.
From the outsider's perspective, Sunaga feared entering the bigger close-knit family like the
family of Chiyoko. This may come from the writer's experience in his chilhood. He was the
adopted son and when he came back to his parent's home, he could't be one with his family.
He said that he coudn't have any domestic happiness with his family, especially after his
mother's death.
The novel, 『Until The Time After the Equinox』is the one of story of a weak, unbelieving,
lonely writer who's state of being began from the loss of his mother.
