Comment from Takuya Eguchi
I read the original comics when I was in junior high school. It was the work that made me realize that everyone has their own way of thinking and that life changes depending on how you perceive things. I'm taking on my favorite manabe with a lot of enthusiasm. Please take a look!


Comment from Ai Kakuma
I was hooked on reading the original comics when I was a student, and I loved the warmth and the way he overcame his sadness. I loved the warmth and the way they overcame their sadness. I took this opportunity to read it again and found that I could empathize with the stories and find more depth by looking at them from an adult's perspective. I felt that this is a work that becomes more interesting as one gains more experience, regardless of the time period. I am also a fan, so I will do my best and cherish it. Thank you very much.
