From the editor in charge
Some people work too hard at work and end up suffering from mental illness, some find it difficult to return to work after giving birth, and others have to take time off to care for family members. Unpredictable developments await in life, but what kind of life journey can you take at the end of an unexpectedly cut off path? Is there a new way to utilize my abilities?
“Himawari” takes on the challenge of answering a question that is difficult to find even if you think about it alone. The story of the main character Himari’s setbacks, rebirth, and challenges will eventually blend into your own life. As I support Himari, who always looks on the bright side and does her best, I’m sure I’ll be okay too. It’s strange because it makes me think so. “You can start your life over again at any time.” There is no other story where the words you want to believe but can’t believe are so deeply felt. Please take a look.
“Himawari” release commemorative campaign underway
To commemorate the release of “Himawari”, we are recruiting “#Sunflower Cheer Team” to support this book.
Everyone who becomes a cheering group will receive a message from Hotachi Shinkawa called “Hotachi Tsushin.”
In addition, 2 people will be randomly selected to receive an advance proof of the book so they can read it before it is released, and 100 people will receive a special tin badge.
Please support “Sunflowers” by attaching it to your bag or hat. Details are available on the special website. Please apply using the application form.

Synopsis introduction
Himari, a 33-year-old who loves talking, eating, and working, gets into a traffic accident one summer.
When I woke up, I couldn’t move my body. He injured his cervical spinal cord. He underwent grueling rehabilitation while receiving 24-hour care and learned how to operate a computer using voice recognition software. All for the sake of returning to work. However, what he was faced with was a harsh reality.
I cannot expect to return to work. If possible, I would like you to retire like this.
“I can help people, so why can’t I use that power?”
