Speaking of Chiyo Uno, this is the first thing that comes to mind for me. She won just for the title. She must have been almost 100 years old at the time. #ChiyoUno

(RTs) I'm really sad that "Haha no Tomo" is going to disappear. It was a wonderful magazine that was fun to read whether you were a mother or not, and each issue was full of variety. I also wrote serial book reviews for several years, and it was a really free experience. I hope that it will be revived somewhere, but first of all, thank you for your hard work 📚

The new work by Natsuho Ishida, who pioneered the new genre of muscle literature with "My Friend Smith," is very intriguing, with the plot saying, "When you eliminate the waste of human resources in your company, you realize that you can also burn your own wasteful fat." This combination of talks is sure to lead to something interesting... 💪
