This is a masterpiece that should be read by all mothers and children who have mothers!

What are novels? 　What is the point of reading novels?　What is the phenomenon that I am reading novels? 
After reading this story, anyone who has considered these things would realize that they are happy to have been reading novels. 

When complicated mysteries were solved, I was blown away. 
The tragedy caused by the fertility treatment taught me that children are not to be born, but to be raised. 
Who is the contraindicated child? Who bound him? 
This book is a good mystery to read and an unforgettable masterpiece. 

While reading this story, you feel like you and the prince are searching for the mermaid who escaped in Ginza. Everyone knows the mermaid princess and the prince. This work is filled with a lot of "What is this?” or “Could this be?”  I assure you that when each short story is all connected at the end of the novel, you will strongly feel exhilarated.

It would take a lot of determination for professional writers or someone who make a living writing to verbalize their impressions of this work... With this concern, I was relieved that I was just a bookstore clerk.
Ten years of planning and writing.
I have never read such a novel that asks the readers so much toughness to read.
This novel also tests our ability as readers to receive the writer's writing ability.
It depends on how well we can use our imagination to the fullest and sharpen our senses....
That is exactly similar to the relationship between the creators of the “stage” and the audience depicted in this work.
The actors' bodies, movements, breathing, art, lighting, and music on stage.
The story consists with your imagination and sensitivity. Then it completes with Stravinsky's “The Rite of Spring,” which appears at the end of the story.
It is a story like a beautiful work of art that you gradually feel a tremendous sense of satisfaction, as if you had just seen a full-length stage play.

The pitfalls of everyday life, a little carelessness. The fear that an unexpected change in life slowly eats away your heart. Readers will be assimilated into the protagonist with the overwhelming mastery of psychological description.
What should I do? I was perplexed, lost, and flustered as if this incident had happened to me. The writing skill is amazing. I was simply amazed.

Although I felt uncomfortable with various “normal” things, I have been living my life by gradually adapting myself to the social system.
After reading this novel, I realized why I had never thought deeply about it even when I thought something was wrong, and I understood the true nature of the discomfort I had always felt.
This is a shocking work that may change the meaning of your life.

I thought everyone would be interested with this crazy setting that a dead Yamada becomes the speaker in the classroom and starts talking.
And when I start reading it....
Witty and light conversation between the high school boys made me laugh from time to time while reading, but the occasional sadness was the feeling I had never experienced before.
It made me laugh, but it also made me cry... I recommend this novel, which stirs the reader's mind into a mess, to more people.

The sparkle of Naruse, who starts a new challenge, is brighter than in the previous work.
I believe that what you do is more important than what you become. 
I am sure that many people are impressed by these words. Of course, I am one of them. The vitality of people who are committed to what they believe in is tremendously attractive.
“Only Naruse can do it. It's a fiction after all." 
Don't say such a thing. Even if you are not good at Kendama or do not have the academic ability to pass Kyoto University, there must be something that only you can do.
However, it is not easy to find it. To find it, you need to repeatedly take on various challenges, just like Naruse. Be positive, be dedicated, and have fun. If you do so, you will find something unique to you. This story shows us that everyone has his/her unknown possibility and unused talent.
