Through 21 stories featuring life choices made by characters of different personalities in various situations, the book reveals the turbulent inner worlds of ordinary people beneath their calm exteriors. When we were kids, we all believed we'd grow up to be exceptional adults, just like the heroes in manga who chase and achieve their dreams. But in reality, most of us end up living ordinary lives, and for some, even being "ordinary" requires everything we've got. This book reminds us that "ordinary" doesn't mean failure — it's simply the true experience of most people. And living this so-called ordinary life is, in itself, something pretty amazing.
