An honorable mention from Michiko Aoyama's debut period. The lightness of a title that suggests family and mother-child ties carries the warmth of cheering someone on and being encouraged in return.

A girls' novel from the Palette Novel Grand Award period with an English phrase in its title. Through emotions surrounding laughter, it appears to depict young characters' unease and release.

A call to laugh loosens the stiffness of the heart.
