● Synopsis of 'My Neighbor's Drop-Off Delivery Is Too Crazy'
Yuuri, who was once an up-and-coming manga artist, hung up her pen after suffering sexual assault from a revered master she admired, followed by the betrayal of an editorial department that ignored it. Having discarded her own art and pen name, she now lives a semi-secluded life in a dilapidated house with the remains of her beloved cat, 'Finn.'
Living next door is Kaho, a full-time housewife who plays the role of a perfect 'wife' in a luxury home. However, Kaho's daily life is a hell of domestic violence, dominated by abuse, including GPS monitoring and moral harassment by a husband who wears the mask of an elite.
A series of random slashing incidents occurs in the neighborhood, and one day, Kaho begs Yuuri to receive a 'drop-off delivery' at her home to hide her online shopping from her husband. Kaho, in fact, has a secret.
A former manga artist whose career was stolen by sexual assault and a wealthy housewife living under domestic violence. The two women, who should never have crossed paths, foster a strange friendship sparked by a 'drop-off delivery' and take on those who have eroded their humanity as women. And so, their fate begins to move!
A sisterhood suspense novel where violence and healing race forward!

'My Neighbor's Drop-Off Delivery Is Too Crazy,' the long-awaited full-length debut, is a suspense novel about two women who have had precious things stolen from them by violence. After meeting through a 'drop-off delivery,' they take revenge on the perpetrators who were not judged by society.
Careers stolen after reports of abuse were ignored, and the silence they were forced into. Human freedom and dignity, owned and trampled upon by a dominant husband. Unhealed wounds and the men who try to exploit them.
'My only sin was being ashamed of myself and running away.'
'Burn out with me, and let's become rampaging old hags together.'
'When you put things into a story, what you want to say reaches surprisingly far.'
The sisterhood depicted in this book presents to the reader that 'revenge for violence is not completed by violence alone.' What is the conclusion of their story, giving out sanctions from which one can never escape, rewriting the world in their own words, and standing up once again—?
