Although society is becoming increasingly impatient with investing, even if I were to go back to my student days, I wouldn’t rush to study investing, nor would I rush to teach my children about it. What’s important is how you interact with society through money. That perspective becomes your “survival strategy.” I am truly happy that I can now share this message with more people in the form of a manga. I hope to find more people who will join me in thinking about society. Story Summary One rainy day, second-year junior high school student Yuto enters a mysterious mansion with Nanami, an investment banker he met by chance. A billionaire known as the Boss lives there, and he is told, “The mansion will be given to anyone who can understand the building’s true value.” From that day on, the boss begins his lectures on the “true nature of money” and “the workings of society.”

From the fundamental question, “What is money?” to important modern-day social themes such as inflation, tax systems, inequality, trade deficits, and investment, you can easily understand the workings of the economy and society by unraveling the mystery alongside the protagonist, middle school student Yuto. As you unravel shocking mysteries of money, such as “money itself has no value” and “there’s no point in everyone saving money,” your perspective on money will change and you’ll discover clues to enrich your life.
