Reader comments
This book is very real and allowed me to understand the growth experience of Junichi Watanabe. He is destined to fall in love with love and has an indissoluble bond with women, which is quite interesting.

But overall, this is a book worth reading, especially for those who enjoy autobiographical fiction.
Very good! Learned about the boyhood and youth of writer Watanabe.
Although Mr. Watanabe Junichi's autobiography is not long, it is still interesting to read. Many of the things he mentioned in his autobiography were included in his related works.
