Short Synopsis

Satou Ikutarou, a salaryman who is tired of his job, was supposed to go on a trip to Kyoto to use up his paid vacation days.
However, after nodding off while riding the bullet train, upon waking up he finds that he is in a train station in a place he has never seen or heard of.

会社勤めに疲れたサラリーマン・佐藤幾多郎(さとうきたろう)は有給休暇を消化するため、京都に旅行に出かけたはずだった。
しかし行きの新幹線の車中で居眠りをして再び目が覚めたとき、見たことも聞いたことのない駅にたどり着いてしまう。

Proof Of Quality

Written by a YouTuber named Yudai-sensei that teaches Japanese, with a particular emphasis on pitch accent, but overall also tutors and does quizzes on Japanese grammar and etc (It should be noted that he uses novels he writes as material for teaching pitch accent in his channel which makes it very effective for learning and easy to check out in terms of content)

Reason(s) for nominating: Wanted to read this one for a while now! Plus, the author created an imaginery dialect he put a lot of research into from what I’ve heard so am super curious about it!
