    This book, where the female protagonist works hard to pass the entrance exam for a vocational school and doesn't go to the countryside, has a slightly lower rating due to fewer reviewers. It mainly depicts the warm daily life of the main family. Its strength lies in its excellent portrayal of the era; this is the most focused on historical setting I've read on Tomato Book. Prices are reasonable, details are meticulously researched, and there aren't many awful elements, making it feel like you're truly living in that era.
