A Glimpse into Hyoroku's Mysterious Mind

"Maiika" (Oh well)

Do you ever find yourself letting go and relaxing your shoulders like this?

Most of my clothes are hand-me-downs. On my days off, I just go back and forth between the bath and my futon. Work is a daily trial-and-error process.

"I'm truly a hopeless person."

Yet, Hyoroku carries himself with a carefree air, occasionally flashing a slightly manic expression. This laid-back series offers a gentle peek into his life and inner thoughts.

"Always keep 'Hyoroku' in your heart."

Perhaps the 'Hyoroku mindset' will soothe your tired soul!

Author's Comment

I suddenly received an invitation from WANIBOOKS asking if I'd like to write an essay. When I heard the proposal, I thought, "There's no way I can do this." I don't really have anything I want to convey to others. But they told me, "Just sharing your daily experiences is enough," so I decided to give it a try, even though my life is truly uneventful. I'm not sure how long I'll be able to continue. I might suddenly decide it's impossible and quit. I have no idea what I should talk about, but I'll give it a shot for now.
