Berabou-kun During the summer break after entering university, he's stripped of everything and forced to survive abroad. While in school, a friend who read the novel he wrote called it "disgusting." After graduation, he goes from working at a peaceful factory in Shizuoka to heading to Tokyo to become a writer... A lighthearted youth & life essay that humorously chronicles the unsuccessful days from his days as a rōnin, when he began to create his own words, to his debut. Commentary by Akisane Asakura. Manabu Makime I've only read it once.
