Two books by Morio Kita, as know as Dokutoru Mambo, about his time at the old Matsumoto High School and his travels around the world on a tuna research vessel he boarded as a ship's doctor. If I had not come across this book in my first year of high school, I would have led a more upright life by now.
The fresh and vibrant curiosity, the unrestrained imagination, the barbaric courage to confront the ridiculous world. Everything is weird. But that's the way the world works, I think.

I can‘t get enough of the Caroline and Friends Series.
This book tells about Human DiverCity and that all animals are the same.
All living live in such a world normally. People have to re-assess this book.
I think, when you read this book, you can get a sense of APU's essence.

I think it is a summer memory of my third or fourth-grade year in elementary school.
I was into reading some books that are "Arsène Lupin" series translated by Yoichiro Minami.
The protagonist stood by the weak and confronted authority without showing despair, exhibiting elegance and refinement, and living with wisdom and values. I learned important lessons from this.
