Between Tokyo and Chiba, there is forty minutes of Shinkansen, and there is tomorrow that has not yet arrived. He took up writing and wrote about the lingering memories of high school, and how she learned to rely on her family amid the heavy burden. Waiting is not about standing still, but about slowly becoming someone worthy of waiting on your own path. When the cherry blossoms filled the gate of Sobu High School, when the old man's bench was finally no longer empty, and when someone shed tears for her for the first time at Harano's wedding - they realized that all the loneliness and separation was in order to see themselves living in the eyes of another person in a moment illuminated by the moonlight. This is a long confession about "becoming": from being seen, to seeing yourself, to discovering - between you and me, it turns out to be the real thing.
The youth on paper has been put into writing, but the real story has just begun.
Reader comments
The book is very good, with a strong Japanese flavor, but the timeline is vague and some settings are written strangely. For example, O-Sensei and Yukino both have happy families, but they are busy, so they both end up missing one.
Congratulations on finding the treasure

Very good, it feels like that (I'm not flattering)
