Taiyo Ha Ki Wo Ushinau (Bunshun Bunko)

[Machine Translation] If I had lingered on the bank for another 15 minutes that day, I might have been swallowed by the tsunami. I think of myself, who was blessed with a miraculous 15 minutes, compared to those who were not. The title story is based on the real life of a woman who encountered the disaster at her parents' home in Fukushima Prefecture, and the other 14 masterpieces for adults depicting ordinary people who face life as it is. Winner of the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Art Encouragement Prize.
