Synopsis
Daisuke, the protagonist, is a third-year high school student. He struggles with vague anxieties about his future and struggles to find a path forward or a dream.
Then, a transfer student from Tokyo, Manae, appears before him.
Manae is a girl with experiences beyond the reach of a typical high school student, and Daisuke falls in love with her at first sight.
At a lecture she invites Daisuke to, he hears stories from “people who live with dreams and determination,” and begins to think seriously about life.
Eventually, Daisuke decides to confess his feelings to Manae, and at the same time, he resolves to take his first steps in life.
Review
“Don’t underestimate your potential five years from now.”
Don’t judge your current self-worth solely on what you can do now. Your future self can become greater than you can imagine. These words remind us that no matter how difficult our current circumstances may be, we have great power. These words are incredibly empowering.
Dreams aren’t something to be found, they’re something to be cultivated.
Dreams are only born when you put your heart into them. Passion, not calculation, drives your life.
This book teaches us that life isn’t driven by random luck, but the importance of consistent, daily effort. While you won’t see immediate results, you’ll feel confident that persistence will lead to great results.
