About the author

Kō Nakamura (中村 航)
Ko Nakamura (1969–) graduated in the sciences from a technical university, then took a job at an optical equipment manufacturer. He also gave up playing in the band he'd been in since high school and began writing fiction. In 1999 he left his company to devote himself to writing full-time, and got into print in 2002 with Rirekisho (Résumé). The novel, about a young man who becomes a brother to a girl who is not his blood relative, won the Bungei Prize. It was followed by Natsu yasumi (Summer Vacation), and then Guruguru mawaru suberidai (Helter-Skelter)—the last installment in what the author calls his "first trilogy"—which won the Noma Prize for New Writers and was also listed for the Akutagawa Prize. 100-kai naku koto (Cry 100 Times), a love story Nakamura published in 2005, became a bestseller. His other works include Anata ga koko ni ite hoshii (I Want You Here) and Boku no sukina hito ga yoku nemuremasu yo ni (Helping My Lover Get a Good Night's Sleep). The purity and innocence of his love stories make Nakamura particularly popular with young readers.

3.5. Quick cute love story.
I only knew that it is a love story and didn’t know the details, so I was surprised a bit
