A university professor conspires with others to bring his beloved daughter’s dream to life, while a married couple sees each other with fresh eyes through their shared work. This title story is the centerpiece of a collection of six short manga by Suzuhiro Suzuki, each depicting ordinary people whose lives are quietly transformed by an unexpected encounter. In Kimura-sensei, an easygoing teacher and a high school girl uncertain about her future exchange honest advice. Trainspotting follows a rural train enthusiast who travels to Tokyo. Taxi Driver portrays a driver’s brief but meaningful interaction with a passenger. Kids Return recounts a little girl’s small adventure on her way home from school. Juusei o Kezuridasu is a more ambiguous piece, focused on a subtle moment of connection. The settings shift between school, city streets, and home, but all are grounded in contemporary Japan. No dramatic incidents occur; instead, the stories emphasize the weight of a single conversation or observation. The characters—ranging from adolescents to the elderly—are drawn with realistic, detailed linework, and their brief meetings leave lasting, unspoken impressions. The collection earned the New Face Award at the 24th Japan Media Arts Festival in 2021 for its delicate storytelling and keen attention to human behavior.
