The Exquisite Relationship Between the Two
Chiya Fujino's "Two in the Danchi"
features two childhood friends who have reached the age of 50: Nacchan (
Natsuko Sakurai) and Noechi (Ota
Noe). The two return to the
danchi where they were born and raised,
and spend their laid-back daily lives
together. Nacchan is a struggling
illustrator, and her main source of
income is now sales from flea market
apps. Meanwhile, Noechi works as a
part-time lecturer and vents her
daily stress to Nacchan. Because
they have been together since nursery
school, they know everything about
each other's little shames, pride,
and first loves. The way these two
grow older gently, without straining
themselves and laughing together at
times, is depicted with plenty of
humor and warmth.
Two in the Danchi
Chiya Fujino (Author)
50 years old, single, childhood friends.
Since they know almost everything
about each other's little shames,
pride, and first loves, it's easy
and carefree. The latest work by
Chiya Fujino, author of the popular
book "Jii Sanpo." Two childhood
friends who reached fifty and returned
to their family home in the danchi,
Nacchan (Natsuko Sakurai) and
Noechi (Noe Ota). Nacchan, a
struggling illustrator, now makes
her living mainly from flea market
app sales, while Noechi vents the
stress of her part-time lecturer job
to her friend every day. The two,
who have been together since nursery
school, spend their days loosely and
leisurely. A masterpiece that depicts
their friendship with plenty of
humor and warmth.

From Amazon
While reading this book, I was
made to chuckle many times by the
interactions between the two, who
are somewhat easy to relate to, like
the Asagaya Sisters, and whom I
cannot think of as strangers. The
realistic daily life of women who
have reached 50, and the realistic
setting of "making a living from
flea market apps" also feel strangelyfamiliar.
What was particularly impressive
was the exquisite sense of distance
in their relationship. Because of
their long acquaintance, there is a
sense of security that they understand
each other without words, and I felt
a depth of character that turns even
the most trivial things into laughter.
I deeply felt that it is a wonderful
thing to be able to live like this,
letting one's guard down even afterpassing the halfway point of life.
Also, the positive message about
aging is a major appeal of this work.
A positive atmosphere flows through
the entire book, making you think,
"This way of getting older is also
nice." It is the perfect book for
when you are tired of life or want
to lighten your mood a little.
Summary
"Two in the Danchi" is a masterpiece
that depicts the loose and warm daily
life of 50-year-old childhood friends
living in a danchi. My heart was
warmed and healed by their
interactions, which are full of humor
and empathy. This is a book I would
definitely recommend to those who
feel anxious about aging or those
who want to live without straining
themselves.
