A good manga : Encouragement of Living by Seji TODA

How can I have feeling when I don't know if it's a feeling?
How can I feel something if I just don't know how to feel?
How can I have feelings when my feelings have always been denied?
Oh no, oh no

from "How?" by John Lennon

If you have had a feeling like that as John and I had, I think this book would be a good torch. Yes is the answer.

Each story consists of short sentences in a few pages so that it also could be a good text for non-native Japanese speakers to learn Japanese language.

My favorite story is "花". Coming up like a flower, coming up like a flower, coming up like a flower...

"Decision in 2009" and "Walk in Black" are also beautiful. Stories about being afraid and beauty both in standing on your own feet.
