Features: The author was born with a disability. His body does not meet the standard of five limbs (head, four limbs), lacking four limbs. As an adult, his entire body is only half the size of a normal person. But like a superhero in life, he not only lives a normal life on an electric wheelchair but also joins NHK (Japan Broadcasting Corporation) and gets admitted to the famous Waseda University in his country. His most important wish is: "I am a person with a disability, but every day of my life is happy." Some people are normally developed and physically healthy, but their lives are melancholic and dark; while others are physically disabled but have a beautiful and happy life. Life has nothing to do with disability. In this book, people can see a lovely young man who, despite his severe physical disabilities, remains lively, joyful, and full of passion, daring to try everything. He writes and draws with his disabled arms and cheek, runs, swims, climbs mountains, plays ball games, and even makes movies, making his life rich and colorful. What is particularly valuable is that under severe disability, Iyuu did not isolate himself but opened his heart, releasing his vigorous creativity. He inspires many people with his positive attitude toward life. He has many friends, and even a girlfriend.
