TRIP TRAP (Kadokawa Bunko)

[Machine Translation] She does not go to junior high school and lives together in a semi-imprisoned state. She dropped out of high school, and while frightened of the yakuza, she took advantage of a pick-up artist to enjoy a trip to Numazu without spending a penny. After marriage, she traveled to Paris, Hawaii, and Italy, wavering between love and resignation as she struggled with dependency on her husband and child rearing. Then, she suddenly stops to think about life and takes a one-day trip to Enoshima. From a girl to a woman, and then to a mother and a woman again. This is a story of six journeys traced by Mayu, who is like a rolling stone. Winner of the 27th Sakunosuke Oda Award.
