The Man with a Million. What We Lose When We Find Money

What if you suddenly had a million dollars—but along with it, you lost something much more valuable?

The main character, Kazuki, is an ordinary man living a modest, almost inconspicuous life, who suddenly wins a huge sum in the lottery. He hopes to bring his family back together, rebuild his life, and finally feel secure about the future. But everything falls apart when his old friend, whom he trusts to manage the money, disappears along with the fortune. In despair, Kazuki embarks on a search—not only for his friend but also for the answer to the main question: do money truly make us happy? In his signature style, Genki Kawamura reflects on what really matters: money, time, relationships, or inner peace.

This is a touching and wise story about the price we pay for dreams and how easily we can lose what cannot be bought.
