<p> The first-place winner was &#8220;My Daughter&#8217;s Friend,&#8221; which was serialized on the manga app &#8220;Comic Days&#8221; from spring 2019 to the end of 2020. A total of seven volumes of the book have been released, and the total number of copies sold has surpassed one million.</p>

<p> The main character, Kosuke Ichikawa, is a single father raising a high school daughter. He has been trying to play his &#8220;ideal self&#8221; as a reliable section chief at work and a good father at home. However, the gap between reality and his own is wearing him down every day. Then he meets a high school girl, Kisaragi Koto, who is a &#8220;friend of his daughter. Kohsuke gradually develops forbidden feelings for Kisaragi, which he should not harbor.</p>

Kohsuke and Kisaragi meet at a coffee shop and gradually become attracted to each other as they talk about their problems.</figcaption></figure>
<p> The main reason why this work has become a hot topic is its outrageous content that cuts to the realities of modern society. Since the beginning of the serialization, the relationship between a middle-aged businessman and a high school girl was criticized by some as &#8220;encouraging sexual exploitation&#8221; and &#8220;incitement to crime,&#8221; and the official PV posted on Twitter was criticized by many.</p>

<p> The film attracted a great deal of attention as a &#8220;flaming work&#8221; due to the series of uproar. However, the theme of the film is deeper than that. It is the antithesis of today&#8217;s society, where everything is not simply divided into right and wrong based on social norms, but rather, &#8220;If each person has thought about it and come up with his or her own answer, then it is okay to have one&#8217;s own unique answer. In fact, the editor in charge at the time, in an interview with this magazine, said, &#8220;The relationship between the two is precisely the contrast between those who are caught up in social norms and those who are not.</p>
<p><strong> The editor of the magazine said, &#8220;In this world, people want everything to be black and white. The interviewer said, &#8220;It is precisely the contrast between those who are caught up in social norms and those who are not. We are working toward a persuasive conclusion that will serve as a small seed to raise the question, &#8216;Can&#8217;t we deny such a way of life to such people?</strong></p>
<p> This is a problematic work that has sparked various discussions in various places. What kind of answer did Kohsuke and Koto, who are drowning in their forbidden relationship, come up with? Find out how it ends.</p>
