Book Introduction
The 'Swing Series' returns after 17 years! A feast of words for Dr. Irabu, the absolute genius of a hyper-tense society. *Highly recommended by author Lee Ki-ho and professor Jeon Hong-jin* Dr. Irabu returns after 17 years. The 'Swing in the Air Series' is a representative work of Hideo Okuda, and is the story of a strange psychiatrist named Irabu and the patients who somehow fall into his clutches. With its unique comfortable laughter and warm message, it was loved by many readers, selling over 1 million copies in Japan and Korea. Hideo Okuda stated that he decided to bring back Dr. Irabu out of curiosity about how Irabu would react in the face of the extreme chaos and anxiety that continues after the pandemic. It contains many psychological problems that we, who live in a highly tense society, cannot help but sympathize with. A salesman who can't get angry even when he's angry, a pianist who gets into trouble because he's so diligent, a college student who can't live like himself in a new environment... As we follow the gradual healing process of those suffering from mental illness through outlandish and ingenious treatments, we are given the opportunity to confront and soothe our own problems. Dr. Irabu says it like a habit. “It’s okay, it’s okay. “It’s okay to do it in moderation.” This is a welcome book that clears our throats and lets us loosen up. |

Into the book
“They say your nickname is the ratings ghost.
Well, it's good to be a broadcaster, but if you get too excited about the numbers, you lose sight of the bigger picture.
I don't like supremacy in anything.
A posture that relaxes the force is also necessary.
Why don't you go see that doctor and get a checkup? I think it was Dr. Irabu? Anyway, whenever he comes, I feel strangely healed.
If you think about it, it's probably something that helps people relax.
The cure for COVID-19 depression might be to relax.
As expected, psychiatrists are different.
Maybe it's a great name.
ha ha ha!"
---From the "Commentator"
Ah, I really want to get revenge on that driver from earlier.
Katsumi's breath became rough on its own.
Should I catch up with him right now, tail him, find his house, and spray paint that black minivan with the words "Idiot" and "Die, punk" at night?
A man who sees it in the morning will be furious, but he can't even guess who the culprit is, so he can only stamp his feet.
My mind was occupied with delusions of revenge.
At that moment, I suddenly felt dizzy.
In an instant, everything before my eyes became blurry.
Katsumi thought something was wrong and quickly pulled over to the side of the road.
---From "Radio Gymnastics"
"But, sir, why doesn't reckless driving seem to be eradicated? It's become such a loud social issue, and countless people have been arrested, yet reckless driving continues to occur somewhere in Japan today."
Katsumi asked while driving the car.
Since it was a rare opportunity, I wanted to hear a psychiatrist's opinion.
“Well, there will always be self-centered and aggressive groups.
“I don’t think it will be easy to eradicate it.”
“Can’t anger management solve this?”
“That requires further consultation.
Driving recklessly, shouting "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" is not anger, it's simply childishness.
In other words, he didn't grow up properly."
---From "Radio Gymnastics"
“There is no winning or losing in life.
You have to learn by watching animals.
They have a clear habitat and live there without leaving it, right? For example, if a raccoon were to accidentally enter a city, wouldn't it say it wants to overcome city life? It'd rush back, saying it'd gone to the wrong place.
Let's find another me in the city, that kind of thinking is the root of neurosis.
From now on, let's become raccoons and live comfortably.
“You understand?”
Hearing those words, this time Irabu started to look like a raccoon.
“No, but thanks to overcoming various obstacles, humanity would have achieved civilization…….”
“Huh? You’re talking.”

Publisher's Review
Hideo Okuda's determination to rewrite,
The very book that countless readers have cited as a life-changing book.
The Trapeze Series Finally Returns
The unexpected pandemic has seriously exacerbated the loneliness of modern people, and the stress caused by psychological isolation has reached the brink of explosion.
It would have been difficult for the author to ignore the deep inner wounds we may have worn knowingly or unknowingly.
And Irabu, who walks his own way with a free spirit without wavering even in the most urgent situations, may have been the person most needed in this era. _From the translator's note
Hideo Okuda is a representative Japanese writer who covers both serious and popular literature, and he has a large fan base in Korea with works such as "Run South" and "Sheep Terrorist."
His masterpiece, the 'Swing in the Air Series', is a story about a strange psychiatrist named Irabu and the patients who somehow fall into his clutches.
It gained great popularity with its unique comfortable smile and warm message, winning the Naoki Prize in Japan and selling 2.9 million copies, and also selling over 1 million copies in Korea.
The series, which countless readers have considered a life-changing book, is back for readers after 17 years.
What prompted Hideo Okuda, who had repeatedly declined requests for a sequel, to change his mind? He revealed that facing the intense chaos and anxiety that has persisted since the pandemic, he decided to return Dr. Irabu out of curiosity: "How would Irabu react?"
It is a welcome change of heart that has come at just the right time for us who must live in an era of extreme tension.
“It’s gotten busier, more powerful, and more intense.”
A bone-chilling diagnosis and ingenious cure, a full-fledged pharmacy novel
“So, when you see someone not following the rules, you get angry, but you don’t tell them anything?”
“Oh, yes…….
But isn't that the case for most people?
“If you tell someone walking around smoking, ‘You, smoking on the street is against the rules,’ it’ll just backfire and they’ll get angry and start a fight.”
“Kuuuuuu.
“Okay,” Irabu let out a sickening laugh.
“So to speak, in Mr. Fukumoto’s case, it’s about not being able to control your anger.
“Getting angry too quickly is a problem, but not getting angry properly is also a problem.”_From ‘Radio Gymnastics’
The problems that the characters in the work suffer from are problems that we have all experienced or endured at least once.
A salesman who has taken out a loan to buy a house is in a situation where he is angry that his hard-earned life is about to collapse, but he cannot express his anger and ends up hyperventilating.
A pianist who believes he is living a normal and honest life cannot understand why he suddenly develops agoraphobia.
College students who struggle to adapt to school life after remote classes lose the ability to live like themselves.
For them, Irabu gives a diagnosis that is unexpected or that they know the answer to but have been avoiding because they have no other choice.
For those who can't control their anger, I would say anger management is just as serious a problem as letting it out.
For pianists who strive to keep their performances on track, it reminds us that “responsibility is the greatest enemy of mental health,” and that what is considered a virtue in society may not be a virtue in oneself.
“It’s okay, it’s okay.
“You can do it in moderation”
For those of us who need a little lightness and a little roughness,
The magical comfort of laughter brought to you by Dr. Irabu
It's ruined.
This doctor is completely crazy―.
Only then did Yuya realize.
Irabu's original thought circuit was strange.
But as I continued to visit Irabu's examination room, I also felt that I was beginning to change.
Contact with other people was no longer so painful. - From 'Parade'
But diagnosis is only the beginning, the real story is Dr. Irabu's extraordinary behavioral therapy.
What will happen if he chases you around, forces you to spend money, forces you to play word games in the sky, and then denounces you as hopeless? When those suffering from mental illness find themselves gradually healed by Irabu's treatment, which they initially thought was a misguided approach, we too can face and find solace in our own problems.
The expression Irabu uses most is “It’s okay, it’s okay.”
The term 'Bulyobulgeup', which was often used to mean 'don't go out unless absolutely necessary' during the COVID-19 pandemic, is now being used by Irabu to give people a different meaning.
If it's not a matter of life or death, don't live too hard.
Everything is okay.
This book provides the comforting laughter and consolation we need right now.
Dr. Irabu has truly returned.
The very book that countless readers have cited as a life-changing book.
