Umareta Toki Kara Hetakuso

Also known as: 生まれたときから下手くそ, Maladroit de naissance

by Yarou Abe

Makoto has been clumsy since birth and has never been able to lead anything but a mediocre life. This life was the same as his father's. Small, seemingly insignificant anecdotes, but full of subtlety and insight, and above all, imbued with a heartwarming tenderness, inspired by the true life of Yarou Abe, the author of Midnight Diner, who grew up in Shimanto, in the Kochi Prefecture, in the south of Shikoku Island.
