Mata Yabuke No Yuyake (Bunkota)

[Machine Translation] My name is Hideyuki, and I am a fourth grader at Hachioji Municipal No. 6 Elementary School. After school, I always go out with my friends who live in the neighborhood. I was so inspired by "Samurai Giants" that I tried to throw a magic ball, and I played wrestling with my brother as a butcher. They get excited about a big sawtooth stag beetle and search for dinosaur fossils. This is a coming-of-age novel full of laughter and tears for all those who were once children.
