"Happiness is something that you lot have to choose of your own will, through your own words and actions, by letting yourself feel joy and excitement, by cherishing the people important to yous, and cherishing yourself. [....] Happiness wasn't something bestowed upon yous from without. It came from inside. You chose information technology and created it with your own hands."I wasn't expecting much when I first planned to read this, but I end up loving this story, the characters, the lines, the lesson information technology taught me, the magic and mystery it left me. Definitely my best 2022 read and additional to the list of my favorite Japanese novels.
Yoru Sumino sensei "You've created a wonderful new world in my heart.", thank you! ♡
...more A more specific summary of the story is that Nanoka Koyanagi, a immature, lonely girl with no friends just lots of brains, is given an assignment to define what happiness is and what it means to her. Nanoka is a rather eccentric daughter who feels her classmates are spineless or idiots, but does have some friends: An elderly woman who gives her sweets, another woman who, I kid you non, is solely known every bit Skank (Yes, I'm serious, and we never acquire her real name), and subsequently, Minami, a high schooler who cuts herself. As Nanoka searches for answers, she makes mistakes and learns new things, not only about the people around her, but nigh herself as well.
One thing I will say in Sumino's favor is that Nanoka is a much better, more nuanced and 3 dimensional character than the lead in Pancreas was. Different the main character in that novel, who was just a quiet non-entity who was solely made so he can learn the dazzler of life from his classmate, Nanoka has much more depth and personality to her. She's a precocious, outspoken kid who loves reading and tries to be as smart as she tin can, is a trivial egocentric, judges her classmates before getting to know them, tends to push her behavior onto others without respecting their boundaries and wishes, and while she tries to be compassionate towards others, she makes plenty of kittenish mistakes that she has to acquire from. She's not exactly a perfect portrayal of a child though, as Sumino makes it clear through the writing that she's not exactly the best at writing children. Nanoka ofttimes says a lot of philosophical things that no child in existent life says, and she's always going on saying "Life is like X considering Y and Z," and things of that nature, with a lot of free introspection that is unbelievable for a child of her historic period. Plus, her behavior in the beginning can make her very hard to similar. And so again, it's very hard to write children realistically, specially if one hasn't really been effectually them all that much, which is understandable. As far as being a realistic child goes, Nanoka's non getting any points there, but as a flawed, iii-dimensional grapheme who really grows, develops, and learns, Sumino fared much improve here than she did in Pancreas.
Unfortunately, I tin can't really say the same for the side characters. The merely ones I really liked were her classmate Kiryuu (For some reason the translators render his last proper noun as Kiriyuu, just I have to wonder if that'south right. I know Kiryuu exists but non Kiriyuu) and the unnamed elderly woman who gives Nanoka sweet treats every at present and again. The rest of them were only banal and kind of milquetoast, with very petty in the way of their own character arcs or development whatever. Plus, some of them felt like they were just there to exist props for Nanoka's development, peculiarly since many of them outright disappear from the story with no physical explanation whatsoever. We never fifty-fifty know what Skank'south deal is, or why she even goes by that moniker, nor annihilation about Minami, the high schooler Nanoka runs into or why she cuts herself. In that location are and so many unanswered questions, and the book kinda winds up feeling empty because of that.
Furthermore, one thing Sumino still hasn't improved much on is her prose. She yet favors telling over showing nearly of the fourth dimension, and her descriptions of the setting are still rather stale. The fact that Nanoka tends to monologue about philosophical things that are unbelievable for a kid her historic period simply adds to simply how stale the writing is, because her monologues tend to be costless at best, and obnoxious at worst. The narrative voice feels muted, dispassionate, and distant, and combined with the prose, it feels like Sumino actually didn't give a crap nearly giving the world she created some kind of life to it. And so...yes, I don't really have much else to say about this ane. The story itself is simple, and it tin can actually be rather hard to do simple stories. While I feel this is better than Pancreas, I Had That Same Dream Again is all the same nowhere near the threshold of being chosen adept, nonetheless bordering on mediocre at best. It's fine for a light read, just nil more.

A short tale about alter, courage, and humbleness. This book is a smack in the face of wisdom for both kids and adults alike.

After I read I WANT TO Swallow YOUR PANCREAS I was admittedly drastic to read some more from the same writer - Sumino is very proficient at writing readable, heart-tugging feels.
Nanoka is in elementary schoolhouse - she doesn't actually get on with any of her classmates, and her best friends are a cat missing half her tail, a young woman named Skank-san, and an elderly lady named Granny - she besides meets Minami-san, a troubled teenaged girl.
In course, she is given the task of defining happiness. Betwixt her experiences, and hearing near the experiences of her diverse trio of friends and her 'weakling' classmate, Nanoka does her best to figure out how to define happiness - and what happiness means when your life isn't what you expect.
I actually enjoyed I HAD THAT Aforementioned DREAM AGAIN - it didn't hit me every bit hard as PANCREAS, but it is a very different story. More than of a melancholy joy than a bawling tragedy - and very, very unique. I am very excited to read his other works!

Innocence is never truly lost, only forgotten. And for individuals whose innocence appears, at a distance, damaged or irrecoverable, the endeavour to recollect is every bit difficult and traumatic equally unburying and reburying an unfair truth that wishes to stay dead. In I HAD THAT SAME DREAM AGAIN, a grammar-school educatee is in the process of resurrecting an uncertain reality within herself for others to pry autonomously.Nanoka is tasked with defining happiness for the sake of a class assignment. A simple enough bit of homework for the average, listless child every bit the seasons plow over from spring into summer. Simply for Nanoka, who is precocious and an overthinker, the assignment spills over into other facets of her youth. Happiness cannot be easily obtained. Or can it? Happiness cannot be every bit flippantly discarded as it can be reasoned. Or tin it? What are the senses, dreams, ambitions that enable one to circumnavigate human feel then as to experience happy? Nanoka is adrift. She has a few allies, in her search for an reply, only it's going to exist a long struggle for the truth, or specifically, her truth.
"It'south important to know what you do not know. The worst thing you can do is to think that you understand something when you actually don't" (Granny, p. 25).
I HAD THAT SAME DREAM AGAIN, every bit with Sumino's other novels, is a very tight narrative that keeps to its initial trajectory with only modest hints of a red herring or ii. Nanoka is the protagonist. She'south often indignant but usually settles for being derisive. She's smarter than most kids her age and she knows it. It's up to readers, however, to discern as to whether this is a problem. Nanoka's quest to ascertain happiness is made unique past the daughter's sudden encounter and subsequent clan with four characters: a dark-furred kitten with half its tail missing, a suicidal teenager, a restless twentysomething prostitute, and an sometime lady who lives atop a steep hill.
The writer pulls from these secondary characters a perspective and feel with the exterior (developed) world that at varying times frustrates, confuses, delights, and enrages young Nanoka. In growing upwardly, nix the girl encounters is particularly outstanding, and nonetheless, she feels its weight all the more because she is precocious, intelligent, and cheeky. She fights with her parents over whether they will nourish observation day at school. She argues bitterly with herself over whether a sensitive classmate should remain shamed and bullied or bide his time and later stand up upward for himself. Nanoka is impatient and struggles mightily with her want for rightness with adulthood's often contrasting realities: Happiness, it would seem, merely exists for those with the luxury of not needing to carp defining it in the offset identify.
Readers volition detect in this novel an assortment of life-lesson consultations, all of which are unasked-for. Nanoka is a sharp kid whose life doesn't ever go the way she had hoped. She's practiced at looking ahead. She's good at planning ahead. But she's not so skillful at adapting. Bullies can and do alter form ("Surely, someone volition come to my aid," p. 138). Unsolicited gratitude is often unwelcome ("I'm done thinking about other people," p. 154). And the vicissitudes of human experience, while finite, are only knowable in the moment they occur ("Life is similar a bento box [..] I can't fit in everything I like. And I nevertheless don't know how big that bento box is, or what it's called," p. 207).
I HAD THAT Aforementioned DREAM AGAIN doesn't pull on the heartstrings the manner Sumino's other novels do. Instead, information technology's a more contemplative title whose protagonist should know amend but doesn't, and in her search to know and be better, gradually enlightens those around her to the uniqueness of their ignorance.
Is the bob-tailed kitty a good listener or is it simply a lost and lonely fauna without a home? Is the self-harming teenager truly reflective on her situation or is she taking out her history of regret on herself? Is the warm only enigmatic Skank-san a genius in hiding or is she simply too clever for her own proficient, prideless cocky? Is the erstwhile adult female content in her old age? Happiness isn't something one strives for, as Nanoka seems to learn, Happiness is a state of being molded from flexing one's expectations to meet the sensitivities of the day.

it seemed written too plain at first, though it is a translation, just in all, i actually loved the story & I'll exist thinking about information technology for a while
wow what a long intro. i love this book after i went in for few pages. this book seems dissimilar from whatever usual minimalist Japanese style of writing. i don't know how other people feel but at least that was for me.
i read a lot of novel from a japanese writer. they ever have the kinda like style of writing like i mentioned before. but this book feels unlike. idk if it's the translator that give the volume justice but either mode i still love this story flows. the dialogue seems more lively kinda have warm and...yes a soul to it. usually the dialogue volition always feel like kinda monotone for me, not that i hate it though, i still love asian lit esp from japanese writer but i beloved this kind of style too. perchance a lil flake more.
i cried several times going through this book. it'due south basically a journeying of a middle school kid chosen nanoka learning about happiness and life from three unlike people that take distinctly vary age. a high schoolhouse kid, an adult and a very old woman. after giving some thoughts i tin conclude that they was obviously her hereafter self, that she might terminate up being if she did what they did.
but what's interesting is that the iii people doesn't seems connected to each other at all. instead it's just like if she this error she will end up being like the high school girl and so on. and they all disappeared one by one later on nanoka didn't do the aforementioned mistakes that they might do. and what convinced me that they might exist her future cocky is because at the end when she grew up she begin to look but like them. and that 1 particular scene when developed nanoka hug her while crying is pretty obvious too. withal, they were all able to find happiness at the end.
i adore the character development of kiriiyu too even it'south not that much simply still seeing them finish upwards together warmed my heart. might rate information technology four.9/5 cause i want to run into the ending being elaborate more but still i dearest information technology hehe.

Considering of the nature of the main graphic symbol being a young child, the author plays with that plot wise. The whole precocious child who gets buttered up praise by their parents so presumes themselves wise above their peers is nowadays here, but not in the tropey "isn't that so adorable" kind of way, but in the "y'all demand to learn that others value themselves too, even if they don't know the things you know". I liked that attribute, but it's not all Doom and gloom messages about acting properly. I of Koyonagi-san'due south favorite passed times is uttering her catchphrase "Life is like..." where she inserts some seemingly nonsensical phrase to get with it, and so tries to explain it (sometimes they're endearing, sometimes they're big stretchers). Some things become over her head also, like the apartment lady who has "Skank" written on her doorknob.
In that location were some things I found really peculiar though. The introduction of two boys in her class that were friendly with her, but the boy that seems to share her interests the most gets left behind late and a boy she only saw as an acquaintance is of more importance as the plot goes on. They're may be some message of importance there, only it just seemed a bit odd to even introduce the other boy and his love of books (I mean, other than equally a plot device). I also thought the explanation for the twist would go a less subtle, and I may have missed it (the twist itself was clear as day about 1/three through the book).
Ane of those stories that makes you want to go do something subsequently you finish reading it to feel productive. Then it succeeded there.

I don't really read light novels or books about girls, but I felt this was easy enough to help kickstart me back into reading and I love the author's other works.With that said, this is a hard book to rate for me. I kept wrestling between 2 to four stars. Eventually, simply deciding on the centre of those.
I remember the biggest flaws in this book were: Nanoka'south cleverness... yet childish thinking internally, unrealistic cruelty, and basically having to wrap everything upwards in the last chapter.
Nanoka was a hilariously clever girl in this, but and so she seems to only go into this weird immature ignorant mindset all the fourth dimension. You excuse sure things, being in the listen of a unproblematic schoolgirl, but then you lot outset to wonder how she missed adequately blatant things. Later on Skank-san was saying EXACTLY the same things as Minami-san, she notwithstanding was extremely distressed and confused at her disappearance. And then she never defenseless on to things Granny said, which were again very obvious. I judge I'm just saying I feel this is a bit unrealistic.
Teeing off this, I felt the "abandonment" past all her friends (including the true cat! That surprised me, actually) was really savage. Yeah, she patched her relationship and expanded it with Kiriyuu-kun, but she lost literally 3 (technically four) major pillars in her life, inside a few months. It'southward just ridiculously barbarous that this happened to be a child... merely she seemed to just shrug information technology off? I have no clue what that is nearly.
Last complaint would exist the ending chapter substantially existence necessary to wrap things upward. Perchance this is a picky complaint, only I call back forcing the last chapter to exist the i that ties everything together is lazy and mediocre.
Overall though, it was a funny, at times distressing, and enjoyable read.

Nanoka Koyanagi is an elementary schooler who has no friend at school. People called her weird. But actually, she's only smart and normal people can't understand her. One day, Hitomi-sensei gave them task about happiness. She wants to requite a smart answer, then she thinks virtually it thoroughly. And while searching for what happiness is, she encounters with an unhappy loftier schooler who does self-harm, a wonderful woman with a weird name and job, and a granny whose baking are tasty.
"What is happiness?"Nanoka Koyanagi is an simple schooler who has no friend at school. People called her weird. Merely actually, she's just smart and normal people tin't sympathise her. One day, Hitomi-sensei gave them task about happiness. She wants to give a smart reply, so she thinks about it thoroughly. And while searching for what happiness is, she encounters with an unhappy high schooler who does self-harm, a wonderful woman with a weird name and job, and a granny whose baking are tasty. Their happiness are differ from each other. So what Koyanagi'south happiness is?
This is so fathomable. 30% through the book and I've known what is going on here. Yet, it doesn't preclude me to enjoy information technology more. The story is narrated past a kid, and while Koyanagi is smart, at that place are things she don't get nevertheless, which is I like from the writing style (like, she acts her age well). I learned that when someone is smart, quondam they tend to belittle their surrounding, thinking they are just a bunch of idiots. Thinking that they are fine past themselves. But the thing is, no 1 is happy by disconnecting with people.
What is happiness?
If I were asked, I'm positive that I tin't give a proper answer. An answer but as wondrous as Koyanagi wants to give. It suddenly pop in my mind what someone said when I asked the same question. Koyanagi has got her reply, but how most me? What is mine? What makes me happy? I can't even think most piffling one.
(view spoiler)[ "Life is like the first runner in a relay. If you don't start moving, the race won't always brainstorm." "Happiness is something that you have to choose of your own volition, through your own words and actions, past letting yourself feel joy and excitement, past cherishing the people important to y'all, and cherishing yourself." "Happiness wasn't something bestowed upon yous from without. It came from within. You chose it and created it with your ain hands." "My life belonged only to me. I could choose my own happiness."
"Life is a story that you write yourself."
I gauge I have to be an author or director for my life, then I can live a full life and decide what is happiness for me. What kind of life I want to live, and what kind of a happy ending I want to achieve (surely no ane wants a sad ending, right?)
This stabs me correct on my chest. Thinking, dreaming, and planning about future won't go me anywhere. The start pace is always frightening and difficult, but I still have to take it to start my journey. Thinking is good, merely interim is improve.
And so perchance, happiness doesn't just occur, information technology is created by our ownself. We pick things that make us happy, and decide that they are our happiness source.
Happiness is being able to do things we similar and enjoying doing it. Happiness is being appraised for what we skillful at or what we do. Happiness is being able to spend coin for the correct things. Happiness is seeing others smile because of the thing we do for them. Happiness is near getting things I'm longing for and then long. Happiness is the feeling of being cared and loved.
Only surely, to reach it all, I accept to make a move, to start my own relay, to be happy by my own, to be a kind person, and be useful for others. I can't get fourth dimension dorsum, and I don't know whether the road is however long or not, merely I really hope that I can even so make it. (hide spoiler)]
So possibly I can commencement by request this simple question:
Are yous happy now?

Warnings: depiction of cocky-impairment (cut), bullying, mentions of substance corruptionLater on reading At Night, I Become a Monster by the same author, I was quite excited for this book - and it definitely didn't disappoint. The story is told from the point of view of an uncomplicated school kid, Nanoka, who is a precocious little thing; part of her story is about her trying to help a classmate who is getting bullied, only the overall theme of the story is about her growing to learn what the meaning of happiness is.
Nanoka doesn't actually accept friends amongst her classmates, but she is not exactly a loner - she speaks to others on a friendly footing, shares book recommendations with ane, and is sorta communicative with her seat neighbour, Kiryuu. Her actual friends are a cat, a high school girl she meets on a deserted building'south rooftop, Minami, a young adult female whose business firm she frequents, who she calls 'Skank-san' after she mistakes the slur on her door for her name, and an old woman whose house she visits. Being the only kid of working parents, she has the freedom to walk around the neighborhood, and she daily goes out with the cat.
The story starts when Nanoka'south class gets an assignment in language class to discuss 'the significant of happiness' and while any child would answer something simple like 'eating sweets' or 'playing with friends', Nanoka wants to seriously consider and she asks her friends for aid. As a kid she doesn't fully realize it, but 2 of her friends are dealing with some stuff and aren't happy with their lives, and their interactions with her prompt them to reevaluate the meaning of happiness for them. Nanoka herself resents her parents a flake for not putting her above their hectic life, and talking with Minami helps her fix her relationship with her parents.
The other meaningful relationship in the story is Nanoka's and Kiryuu's. When Kiryuu'south dad is caught shoplifting, it affects Kiryuu's life at schoolhouse - he becomes an outcast, a target of bullying (he was already bullied for beingness serenity and interested in drawing) and he stops coming to school. Nanoka fights on his behalf, simply she is as well frustrated that he won't fight back. She tries to go him to come back, but her initial approach makes matters worse. When she talks to the young woman and the quondam lady, she figures out a ameliorate way to help him out, and learns what information technology means to truly be an ally to someone, and what she herself didn't realize near her own wants. About who those three women are to her, that is a large spoiler, just it was a nice touch - I still experience Minami's proper name wasn't explained. The message that happiness is something you cull by your deportment, and something yous piece of work towards than have was laid out beautifully in Nanoka's story, besides every bit the importance of meaningful connections with those around you. And obviously, like her other novel, this i made me weep a scrap, too.
Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review from Seven Seas, via Edelweiss.

This novel deals with happiness. This is non subtle, as it is emphasized fourth dimension and fourth dimension again throughout the course of the story. The linguistic communication arts assignment where each pupil in Nanoka'south class must attempt to answer the question of "What is happiness?" guides the course of the story and helps develop the underlying themes of the tale as well. I felt that Sumino-sensei did a swell task at maneuvering the protagonist through the dissimilar encounters with the same big iii, along with other individual characters in the book, while also keeping their exact nature hidden to a certain extent. Not going to lie, I would have preferred a bit more elaboration on who they were exactly, merely I felt that the ending was suitable considering the nature of the story.
At whatsoever rate, I enjoyed reading this. I can't really compare this to I Want to Eat Your Pancreas only considering I oasis't read it (though, I have watched it obviously), I think that this stands on its ain. Though I do not know enough, I feel that this would be rather difficult to adapt as an anime. Anyone who has read information technology will virtually likely understand what I mean.
But yeah. Adept read.

It wasn't bad. Believe me, I didn't desire to put it down. If it was supposed to be a "twist" I saw it coming (really trying to NOT spoil things) early on, early on. If you lot're supposed to see it, well, I did. Anyhow, information technology did non lessen my enjoyment of the book, in fact I'd say that'southward the big different, I enjoyed I Had That Same Dream Again whereas I Want to Eat Your Pancreas I cannot enjoy, but dear even though it wrecks me every time I read it.
While Dream certainly isn't just frivolity and carries more weight to it than many light novels, information technology was still to me more than light-hearted. I enjoyed the Nanoka's interactions with the diverse people she encounters who help her figure out what happiness means to her.
Verdict: Information technology is worth the read, fifty-fifty with some loftier expectations going in.

Initially I was taken aback past the writing manner. Knowing it was translated from Japanese explained why certain sentences seemed to be straight translations, but this did not hinder me. From the 2d chapter onwards, I was seriously hooked, sitting down to read it for an hour straight.

I'll admit that I was hesitant in starting a volume so shut to New Yr'southward, but every bit information technology was a gift from a friend with a stunning review, I decided to give it a try.Initially I was taken ashamed by the writing style. Knowing it was translated from Japanese explained why certain sentences seemed to be direct translations, but this did non hinder me. From the 2nd chapter onwards, I was seriously hooked, sitting down to read it for an 60 minutes straight.
Every bit it was my starting time time reading this genre of books, I was unsure of how light novels usually unfold, but I presently grew to appreciate Yoru Sumino'south writing. The POV from a child really brings to light a beautiful contrast and a certain innocence while delving into darker topics like suicide, parental neglect, and bodily harm. I soon realised I couldn't read it like a normal novel – in my head I envisioned a manga, and shortly plenty, the characters became more alive.
I accept to say I am thoroughly impressed with Sumino's carefully crafted storyline and clever employ of Japanese and English phrases like Kiriyuu and "under the rose". I establish myself truly feeling for these characters and their struggles. And at the same time, I strongly admired how Sumino described Nanoko's interactions with her friends and allies. In that location is a lot to learn from this lite novel alone likewise the significant of happiness.
On a separate annotation, I chuckled at how TOK this book became at times. I cannot recommend it plenty. I am certain this will not be the last light novel I read. Something to expect forrard to in 2022!

Well from the starting information technology was pretty weird to sympathise until I read the last chapter of the last volume, which summed up the whole story for me.

Woah, the manga was actually a adaption, huh. And the original source is the same author as "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"! I wanted to say that it is such a coincidence, merely given that I'm into that sort of stuff(light novel, manga), I gauge it's non an entirely special event.
Hmm, it might not be a bad ideal to read this after all
Await. I know this from somewhere, I've heard this story earlier. Oh, right. Information technology's from that manga in which the little girl meets a heart schooler, an adult and a granny.Woah, the manga was actually a adaption, huh. And the original source is the same author every bit "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas"! I wanted to say that it is such a coincidence, but given that I'm into that sort of stuff(low-cal novel, manga), I gauge it's not an entirely special event.
Hmm, it might not be a bad ideal to read this after all, since it's been a while since I read the manga. Information technology'south squeamish to take the more than detailed version, as well.
So aye, cracking plot idea, solid execution also. You just can't not love the character(s). Maybe a lilliputian as well simplistic sometimes, with airs of a children tale. Just similar "Tom Sawyer" and "The Piffling Prince", works that this book mentioned itself. It bothered me sometimes, just however, I can't deny that it's refreshing to see the globe equally straightforward and earnest equally the pocket-sized protagonist.
It'southward all about happiness and reflections nearly happiness. And in the cease, life is whatever you make of it.

I love Yoru Sumino'south work and this is probably the most thought-provoking book I've read in a long time. Information technology begs the question of "what is happiness", "what is life", and "what information technology means to be happy and alive your life". I actually wrote four full pages of notes on this volume and only stopped because I was feeling a bit empty-headed.

I love Yoru Sumino's work and this is probably the almost thought-provoking book I've read in a long time. It begs the question of "what is happiness", "what is life", and "what it means to be happy and live your life". I actually wrote four total pages of notes on this book and only stopped because I was feeling a bit lightheaded.
It does accept a problem with telling and not showing just I did enjoy the depth of our main grapheme, Nanoka. From the outside, she seems like some other Hermione Granger-blazon grapheme, but this time, instead of finding answers through logic, she finds the answers herself. She is another smart and snobby graphic symbol, which, yes, I won't deny, is getting quite old only she also seeks to empathise above all and I recall her character is quite three-dimensional.
so yes, i would recommend this book if you lot similar thinking almost the meaning backside things (checks out because aot is my favorite anime) (likewise i didn't proofread this so sorry for the scattered organization LMAO)
