This book is a manga adaptation of a bestseller by social financial educator Manabu Tauchi. Despite the technical nature of finance and economics, the entire book uses furigana, making it highly readable for everyone.

It is a rare, enjoyable, and accessible story for learning about finance and economics.'
Author's Comments Manabu Tauchi stated, 'I hope that with the power of manga and ruby, this book will become an entry point for children and young people who will live in the future to think about money and society.'
