    Is this book any good? The female protagonist isn't good at physical labor, but she's very smart. Her classmates and family take care of her in labor class, letting her do the lightest work. She works hard to get into a vocational school and doesn't want to go to the countryside. The rating is a bit low because there aren't many reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the protagonist's family. Its strength is its excellent sense of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable and precise, down to a few cents or a few tickets. The details are meticulous, and there aren't too many awful things. It feels like you're really living in that era. The only downside is the slow pace; there isn't much romance yet. You can read it as a historical fiction combined with a farming/developmental story.
