Description
Book Introduction
“There is a very, very big god called the world
With my existence also very, very little in mind
“I’m glad to believe that it’s moving.”


In this 14th volume, we can get a glimpse into the compatibility between Nanda and Ssal as mother and daughter.
As a child grows, he or she becomes a fully formed individual with a sense of self.
It's time to build a different relationship from when you were a toddler.
Fortunately, I have a good compatibility with my daughter, and I confess that sometimes, the time I spend with her feels like a romantic relationship.
The sight of the mother and daughter sharing secrets and enjoying shopping together makes them look like old best friends.
Nanda's happiness in creating a close friend brings a smile to the faces of readers.
The daily growth that Nanda shows as she approaches her 40s is also beautiful.
Even in the midst of ordinary daily life, Nanda's attitude of reflecting on himself and "updating the system one byte at a time" is the driving force that keeps his cartoons from being mere comics about everyday life.
Although he primarily uses his growth and enlightenment as a joke, he doesn't hesitate to bring it up as a serious topic.
As a parent with a child, as a woman living in this society, what are the things that I realized and resolved to do in situations that I have experienced at least once?

In Volume 14, we also hear news of a new family joining.
This is the first appearance of Sanho, a cat who is the younger brother of Ssal-i.
The Nanda family decided to become cat butlers after much deliberation, including prior study and experience as a butler, but living with a cat in reality was full of unexpected difficulties.
In particular, the relationship between the young rice and coral causes Nanda to worry.
Let's listen to the Nanda family's experience of how they get along with pets who don't communicate with them.
This volume contains a total of 13 episodes, from episodes 234 to 246.
In "Small Talk," a special feature exclusive to the single volume, you can find nostalgic snacks selected by Nanda and the Nanda family's life in quarantine due to COVID-19.
Acoustic Life, consistently cheerful yet increasingly solid and refined! In a time when the extraordinary has become the norm, this is the perfect book to bring a healthy dose of laughter to Acoustic Life fans.

Into the book
- I like to realize things, so I realize things every day.
It's not a huge discovery, but it feels like my survival skills have improved a little.
It feels like the country's system is being updated byte by byte.

--- p.39-47, from "Episode 2 'New Update'"

- Still, I often find myself quite amused by these useless signs.
Because I am happy to believe that the very, very big God called the world moves while keeping my existence in mind, even just a little bit.
--- p.118-122, from "Episode 5, 'Small Signs'"

- Fortunately, my daughter and I get along well.
Life with a daughter like that often feels like a relationship.
When we meet, you always bring me small gifts without fail, and the way you call us "we" and the conversations that only we know, even the colds we always share, all feel romantic.

--- p.150-159, from "Episode 7 'The Age of Great Love'"

- I feel stronger after accepting the option of aggression.
Let's not be afraid to laugh out loud on the street because we're happy, or to get serious at an unpleasant joke.
Fight or flee.
Let me decide how to do it and not try to find my faults.
--- p.243-245, from "Episode 10: 'When to Fight'"

- The autumn of our 9th year of marriage passes by without forgetting the romance we had created or the quiet fatigue and hatred that drifted between us.
This is my favorite thing these days.
A living room date where, after fighting their own battles during the day, they slowly gather around each other at night without anyone saying anything.
--- p.263-269, from "Episode 11, '10th Anniversary'"

Publisher's Review
A delicate balance between romance and reality
The strongest lifestyle comic, Acoustic Life!


The webtoon 『Acoustic Life』 began in 2010 with the declaration, “One day when I was 27, I got a husband.”
It has become a long-running webtoon boasting a fairly long serialization period of ten years, but it has firmly maintained its position as the 'strongest in daily life comics' thanks to the consistent support and encouragement of readers.
Why does "Acoustic Life" enjoy such enduring popularity? It's likely because the comic captures the so-called "adult circumstances"—things and emotions that every adult has experienced at least once but are difficult to put into words—without sacrificing humor or empathy.
Nanda accurately points out points that everyone can relate to from his personal experience and tells them in a new way in his own voice.
Even common events that we pass by without a second thought are given a new look of sparkling laughter and delicate sensibility when they enter 『Acoustic Life』.
Nanda's skill in transcending the boundaries between fantasy and reality and transforming ordinary daily life into comics is truly unparalleled.

"Acoustic Life" is based on the author's own daily life, but it doesn't indulge in self-centered emotions or force the story for the sake of entertainment.
This is precisely why this comic has been consistently loved by readers for a long time.
There are countless life comics, but it's rare to find one that captures the subject matter, fun, and relatability.
For nearly a decade, 『Acoustic Life』 has been the only book that has walked the same path as its readers of the same generation, making them laugh and cry.
"Acoustic Life," which shows a fantastic sense of balance between fun and emotion, comfort and cynicism, is arguably the pinnacle of "adult life comics."

Nanda won the [2018 Today's Cartoon Award] for "Acoustic Life."
The judges' comments stated that the award was given because "while it is a long-running serial, it goes beyond being a personal story and continuously illuminates the 'place where we live now' that resonates with the general public."
Acoustic Life, the pinnacle of lifestyle comics, recognized for its artistic quality as well as its fun factor, is a must-see! We're eagerly anticipating what kind of wit and insight it will bring to acoustic lovers in the future.
『Acoustic Life』 depicts her life, thoughts, and feelings as a person, a married woman, and as an individual.
Now, with the addition of Nanda, who has acquired the life title of 'Mom', her companion Han-gun, and their daughter Sal-i, another spectacular life is underway.
Let's listen to their story once again!
