Friendship can be born even between people of different races, different skin colors, important people and ordinary people, rich and poor. If we believe in that friendship, I believe we can overcome all difficulties and move towards new frontiers. ●Comments on the "Stormy Night" series "Interesting stories are interesting. What you feel is what you feel. Children and adults are the same." -- Rakugo performer Tatekawa Shinosuke "I believe this is a masterpiece that will remain with today's children for 50 or 60 years, when they grow up, and their grandchildren and the generations after that." -- Kabuki actor Nakamura Shido ●From the editor in charge The "Stormy Night" series won the Sankei Children's Publishing Culture Award JR Award and the Kodansha Publishing Culture Award. It was later included in Japanese language textbooks and adapted into an animated film, which won the Japan Academy Prize for Outstanding Animated Feature. Twenty years ago, as a student, I was overwhelmed by the depth of the couple's love and read all seven volumes of the series in one go. Now, I read it with my child, crying as I listen to it, overwhelmed by the wonder of believing in someone important. This sequel to Masakara's beloved picture book has transcended generations because author Kimura Yuichi, upon seeing the conflicts in Ukraine and Palestine, felt that this story was needed now more than ever. We hope you will take a look! ●About the sequel "New Stormy Night Series 2" is scheduled for release in winter 2025. Stay tuned
