[Information on the Space Brothers Exclusive Plan] We want to bring Space Brothers to the 'everyday life of children' in school libraries.

Let's donate the manga 'Space Brothers' to schools nationwide!

Since this project began,
there is a phrase we have cherished.
It is...

'One step from everyone is better than 100 steps from one person.'

At first, it was a truly small step.

100 yen every month.
Looking at the amount alone, it is not a large sum of money.

Perhaps among those who joined,
there were some who thought this at first.

'What can you really do with just 100 yen?'

In fact, we have received comments like that.

But recently,
more than ever before,
we have been receiving comments like this.

'I thought it was just 100 yen, but when it all adds up, you can do amazing things.'

Every time I receive these words,
I am incredibly happy.

There were even some who told us this.

Before joining, I thought,
'What can you really do by collecting just 100 yen?'But I thought the aspirations of the Katsuo Club were wonderful, so I decided to join for the time being. Honestly, that was the extent of my feelings at first.

However, as I got involved for a month, then half a year, I started to think,
'100 yen is amazing...'Especially when I see the progress of the Space Brothers donations and reports of many children being happy, I started to think,

'My 100 yen, money I thought was just 100 yen, is leading to these smiles!!'I started to think that.

We have started to receive many comments like this.

Honestly, this made me incredibly happy.
I'm not exaggerating, it made me so happy I could almost cry.

What we are collecting is not just money.

The 100 yen you entrust to us contains thoughts and wishes such as,
"I want this to be used for someone,"
"I want this delivered to children,"
"I hope Japan's future becomes better,"
"I hope the children's future becomes even a little bit better."
Those are the feelings and wishes embedded within it.

That is precisely why
I felt that I wanted to"take that money and those feelings even more seriously."thought.

Currently, the Katsuo Club has multiple support destinations in addition to the Space Brothers donation project.
There are those who leave the destination of their 100 yen entirely up to us, and there are also those who think,
the 100 yen support shouldonly be used for Space Brothers donations.

Since you are entrusting us with your precious 100 yen,
I felt it was important to properly give shape to those feelings.

Because of those feelings, we at the Katsuo Club have decided to create a new
"Space Brothers Donation Dedicated Plan."

Since we announced the Space Brothers donation project,
truly many people have joined the Katsuo Club.

People who wrote articles about this activity.
People who spread the word.
People who wrote about the Katsuo Club's activities as a story.
People who turned it into a book.
People who thought of slogans.
People who illustrated the image of our activities.
People who sent passionate messages.
People who helped look for donation recipients together.
People who actually took action.

Each and every one of those actions has moved the Katsuo Club, and the Space Brothers donation project, forward this far.

"I want to support the Space Brothers donation project!"
"I want to help make the Space Brothers donation project a reality!"
We want to create a system where the 100 yen from those who feel this way reaches children as clearly and transparently as possible.

That is the reason why we have newly established this dedicated plan.

For me, "Space Brothers" is not just a manga.

I am sure that anyone who has read Space Brothers will be able to empathize with this feeling.
If you have not read it yet, please try reading the article by "Miiko-san," the initiator of the "Space Brothers Nationwide Donation Project."

We believe there is great significance in"placing this manga in school libraries."

School libraries are places where children can naturally encounter stories.

It is not a class.
It is not an extracurricular lesson.
It is not a bookstore where you go thinking, "I want to read that book."

School libraries, which are a part of children's daily livesThat is precisely why
I believe it is meaningful.

To 'casually pick it up'
To 'read it just because'
I believe that such 'coincidence' is important.

I am sure many of you have had an experience like this.

A book you happened to pick up,
that scene, those words, remain in your heart.

Words you happened to see at that time
supported you.

A book you happened to come across
cleared your doubts.
Helped you move forward with a decision.
Changed your life.

When children read Space Brothers,
it might not change anything immediately.
Even so, I hope it becomes a book they suddenly remember years or decades from now.

When we donate Space Brothers,
there is one thing we always ask the children.

'Do you have a dream?'

A dream,
whether you have one or not, either is fine.

A person's worth is not determined by whether they have a dream or not.
What is important is 'not to laugh at other people's dreams'.
To be able to 'support someone's dream'.

I believe Space Brothers can be the catalyst for nurturing such a heart.

100 yen is not a large amount of money.
But if 100 people gather, that is 10,000 yen every month.
If 1,000 people gather, that is 100,000 yen every month.

Even 100 yen, which is too small for one person,
becomes a great power to deliver 'Space Brothers' to schools all over Japan when it is collected.

Truly,"One step from everyone is better than 100 steps from one person."

This is what we, the Katsuo Club, embody.

After all, more than 100 adults are actually contributing 100 yen each month to make donations...

"One step from everyone is better than 100 steps from one person."

These words are important to us, representing the Katsuo Club itself.

The support received through the Space Brothers Dedicated Plan will be used entirely for purchasing books for Space Brothers donations, as the name suggests. (Excluding payment processing fees to note)
Expenditures and remaining balances are disclosed to members on note.

(I can also show them to you individually if you send me a DM, so please feel free to DM me if you are considering joining!)

Beyond the transparency of the money,
I will share, as much as possible, how happy the recipients were, how the Space Brothers books were displayed, and details about any donation ceremonies if they occur.

Thanks to you entrusting us with 100 yen,
Space Brothers will be lined up on a bookshelf at some school.

When children pick up those books...
The encounter with Space Brothers might become a source of strength in that child's life.
It might become a catalyst for something.
They might become someone who doesn't laugh at others' dreams, but supports them.

Won't you entrust your 100 yen to be that catalyst?

If you find even a little meaning in this activity, I would be happy if you could join the Space Brothers donation dedicated pla
n.

I will take responsibility for connecting your 100 yen to the children's future.
