Strawberry Life
General Fiction草莓人生
(japan) Ogihara Hiroshi
There are ten thousand possibilities in life, and I don't want to live a boring life! Naoki Award-winning writer Hiroshi Ogihara once again moved the whole of Japan after "Seaside Barbershop"! The novel is a hot recommendation on Japan's famous book review website "Reading METER". How to balance career and family, dreams and reality? The answer lies in "Strawberry Life". The process of growing a good strawberry is full of magic, just like the secret soup in a ramen shop or the treasure map in a secret cave. And these can never be known in a metropolis. Designer Keisuke dreamed of making a career in Tokyo, and after working hard for many years, he finally established his own studio. Two years after establishing its own business, the business entered a downturn. Keisuke could have returned to his hometown to take over the farming industry, but he really didn't want to spend his whole life wearing dirty work clothes. More importantly, leaving Tokyo seemed to declare a failure in life. At this time, news came that his father was seriously ill, and Keisuke had to temporarily return to his hometown at the foot of Mount Fuji. The family started growing strawberries at some point, and he was surprised to find that the process of growing a high-quality strawberry was actually full of magic - just like a ramen shop with secret soup, or a secret cave with a treasure map. Keisuke never thought that his life would be rekindled by this sweet and sour strawberry field under Mount Fuji.
