■Finally, I gave up writing…! This may really be the last book! ? “Would you like to write a diary? For the first time in 16 years” “You can leave the last footprints of Junji Takada for future generations” It’s been 16 years since “Suitable Diary” (author: Junji Takada, published by Diamond) was released in 2008. The author, Junji Takada, was dissatisfied with the person in charge’s invitation, saying, “Are you assuming he’s going to die soon?” But he took up writing again. This book is a “forced” diary from January 21, 2023, when he celebrated his 76th birthday, to December 31, 2023.
Junji Takada, who will turn 77 in January 2024, has established a unique position in the entertainment world as a “suitable man” and is loved by men and women of all ages. Every day recorded in the diary does not betray that image.
In addition to reporting on casual daily events, there are days when he talks passionately about baseball, and other days when he only writes the letter “A”. Like a final diary, it talks about the past and doesn’t talk about it… It’s a true “random diary” that doesn’t follow any formal format! As with his previous work, he was “forced to write” this work, so there are complaints and days when he slacks off, and Mr. Takada’s humanity shines through everywhere.
The well-known “appropriate” diary and humorous diary not only makes you laugh, but also makes you feel a little better when you read it, and the stress on your shoulders suddenly lifts. A must-read for modern people who tend to work too hard! A book that will give you energy from that way of life.

*Comment from Junji Takada
First of all, I want you to buy 10 copies of this “Last Random Diary”. I would like you to give one of these 10 books to someone you know, a family member, or a relative.
When handing out books, make a firm promise: “If you receive this book, you must buy 10 copies of the same random diary.”
Then, distribute the book to another 10 people and tell those 10 people, “Be sure to buy 10 copies.”
If you do this, you’ll definitely become Junji Takada. no doubt. ■ End of life, egg-cooked rice, WBC, polyps…Every day you’re curious about is revealed!

This morning while I was eating egg-cooked rice, I remembered that I ate egg-cooked rice yesterday morning as well.
But I can’t remember what I ate yesterday afternoon and night. In the first place, did you eat at lunch and at night? I guess I ate something because I wasn’t hungry.
This story won’t last long.

It seems like Samurai Japan has started a training camp for the WBC, so I guess it’s about time for me to do it too.
●Friday, February 17th
But it’s a pain. The shoulders aren’t finished yet either.
●February 18th (Sat)
I was going to set up camp today, but I decided against it and instead put a warmer on my waist.
It’s important to keep your lower back warm. But it’s only on those days that I’m so silly and cheerful.
