Summary - English
A girl with no friends, a high school girl who keeps cutting her wrists,
A woman who is criticized as an idiot, an old woman who lives out the rest of her life quietly.
Where does their “happiness” lie?
There are things I want to do over again, things aren’t going well right now.
A story for everyone.
Why are you nominating this book: I’ve heard more than once that this was a good first book, which got me interested. It’s quite popular, and has generally good reviews (particular for the learning potential; regarding enjoyment, there are a few mixed ones), but I thought the premise looked interesting. I think that the fact that it’s not an isekai/adventure/fantasy also helps in terms of language learning of more day to day vocabulary.
PS. this is classified as a novel, not light novel. I have to admit that even after reading what the difference between both is, I still don’t really understand. If it doesn’t fit into the club though, I can remove the nomination.
