A Year Without a Job: Continued Yokomichi Seinosuke
General Fiction找不到工作的一年：续横道世之介
(japan) Shuichi Yoshida
Things like life are by no means all about beautiful flowers and full moon. There are good times and there are bad times; there are the best years and there are certainly the worst years. At the age of eighteen, Yokomichi Seinosuke came to Tokyo from a small town in Nagasaki to study. After graduating from college, he encountered the "employment ice age" and was unable to find a job. At the age of twenty-four, he still relied on doing odd jobs and playing with small steel balls to survive. During this year, he competed for chairs at a small steel ball shop with a girl who aspired to become a sushi chef; he experienced the first overseas trip in his life with Xiao Zhu, a newcomer to the "social animal"; he had a new relationship and entered the life of a beautiful single mother with a three-year-old son... Even if he was frustrated, Seinosuke never changed! His simplicity, kindness and heartfelt love for life continue to infect all who meet him.
