Synopsis:

My new neighbor, Kazuto Nishimura, came to Tokyo to seek a new atmosphere. That's what she said, but I think the reason more than that. He is good, fun, and reliable. Slowly --- probably since Christmas Eve --- I started to look at him differently. And since it also seemed difficult to imagine life without him.
--- Keiko about Kazuto

From the beginning I've felt there's something interesting from Keiko Ishida. Everything feels good when she's there. Everything feels better when she's there. Currently in her heart there is someone waiting. Her first love. I hope she can stop thinking about that person and begin to see me. Because life without her was not a life.
--- Kazuto about Keiko

Their first met in early winter in Tokyo. During a month together, a new feeling begins to form. Then everything changed when one day one of them woke up and did'nt remember everything that happened during the last month, including one who had already become an important part in his life ...

It's the 3rd books after Summer In Seoul and Autumn In Paris.

Totto-Chan: The Little Girl at the Window

2011年 6月 9日

Totto-chan, the Little Girl at the Window is a children's book written by Japanese television personality and UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Tetsuko Kuroyanagi. The book was published originally as 窓ぎわのトットちゃん (Madogiwa no Totto-chan) in 1981, and became an instant bestseller in Japan. The book is about the values of the unconventional education that Kuroyanagi received at Tomoe Gakuen, a Tokyo elementary school founded by educator Sosaku Kobayashi during World War II, and it is considered her childhood memoir.

The Japanese name of the book is an expression used to describe people who have failed.

The book begins with Totto-chan's mother coming to know of her daughter's expulsion from public school. Her mother realizes that what Totto-chan needs is a school where more freedom of expression is permitted. Thus, she takes Totto-chan to meet the headmaster of the new school, Mr. Kobayashi. From that moment a friendship is formed between master and pupil.
