【Essay】Peanuts' Bump

When did I become able to write? I remember that in an elementary school composition class I couldn't write a single character. Not knowing where to begin or what to do, I spent time staring blankly at the composition paper. ----------------------- This is my first collection of essays. Published on Sunday, 2025/10/12. Bunkoban (A6), 32 pages, includes eight essays. [Included essays] ・The motive for writing ・What does a dog feel when it pees? ・Peanuts' Bump ・The name "奈々生ん" ・Small talk in Hanoi ・Fox's Wedding ・A girl working overtime while eating cup noodles ・Wanting to play in a band across three generations of a family
