Description
Book Introduction
Discovered by Kim Shin-hoe, author of "Thirty is Beautiful" The most comforting words in Bonobono! The reason you can't help but love [Bonobono] is because of the heartwarming dialogue and philosophical message contained in the simple drawings. Bonobono and his friends are very pure, honest, and touching. Children who read [Bonobono] comics and animations grew up and became adults, and when they read them as adults, they felt a much greater resonance. That is why author Kim Shin-hoe, who has evoked deep empathy from clumsy adults with works like “Thirty is Beautiful,” “Women Become Adults Every Night,” and “Every Today is the Day Before Departure,” has taken notice of Bonobono again. Bonobono is a great read for children, but it is also a book that adults can enjoy with even greater depth. The messages in Bonobono, such as ‘Sometimes silent comfort can be strength’, ‘If you can’t understand someone, you don’t have to force yourself to understand them’, ‘Even trivial conversations are necessary’, ‘An adult is someone who can endure things becoming boring’, ‘If it doesn’t cause trouble even if it’s not there, it’s not needed’, and ‘There are things that can’t be done no matter how hard you try’, only reach deep into your heart and stick in your mind when you become an adult. Even those who originally liked Bonobono or didn't know about Bonobono will find themselves captivated by the book's episodes, cartoons, and the story of Bonobono told in author Kim Shin-hoe's calm tone. As author Kim Shin-hoe said, “Among those who like Bonobono, there may be some weird people, but there are no bad people. “Like me, like you, and like Bonobono”. |

Into the book
There are probably people like Bonobono and his friends around us.
(Omitted) If we ever meet again, we will recognize each other.
After complaining about each other a lot, you'll eventually start to like each other.
Because among those who like Bonobono, there are some weird people, but no bad people.
Because like me, like you, and like Bonobono, we may be strange, but we are not bad people.
---From "We are all people like Bonobono"
My brother Meow enjoys just walking around the neighborhood, without anything special going on.
Porori is curious about the cat-like figure, so one day she decides to follow him secretly.
But no matter how much I follow him, the cat just walks without doing anything special.
When Porori wonders why he keeps doing things that don't seem particularly fun, Meow tells him that it's best when nothing happens.
Porori: Why do you like nothing happening the best? Just walking seems boring.
Meow Brother: Yeah.
I'm bored.
I'm just walking around to make sure nothing's wrong.
When I walk, my mind becomes calm.
Because I thought, 'Ah! Nothing happened today!'
---From "Does life have to be fun?"
Bonobono: Dad, spring has come.
Dad: Yeah.
That's right.
Bonobono: Spring always comes after winter.
Dad: Yeah.
There must be certain things in this world.
There must be some things that never change, no matter what happens.
Bonobono: Then who is guarding it?
When spring passes, summer comes, when summer passes, fall comes, and even when the bitter cold is extreme, spring comes before we know it.
It's a night where everything we've taken for granted feels new.
There may be things in this world that I think happen on their own, but this is an embarrassing night when I realize how much I have lived forgetting that nothing happens on its own.
---From "The One Who Protects What Doesn't Change"
The person who is more likely to succeed than the person who has 100% passion, 100% ability, or 100% perseverance is the person who has 30-30-30 passion, 30-30 perseverance, and 100% ability.
Or someone who has 100% determination to give up cleanly and start anew at any time.
The most wonderful person is not the one who achieves his dreams, but the one who does not hate himself even if he does not achieve his dreams.
Just because you can't achieve your dreams doesn't mean you're worthless.
---From "Don't Hate Me for Not Achieving My Dreams"
The reason why [Bonobono] is good is because it is not pretentious.
Anyone can tell a profound story in a profound way, but not everyone can casually blurt out a profound story.
I especially liked the rough translation from Japanese.
After all, awkward sentences and unused grammar seemed more loose and relaxed, which was what made me feel like I was reading Bonobono.
Reading comics filled with such sloppy language made me want to live a leisurely life like that.
And I also thought that it would be nice if I could write comfortably like this.

Publisher's Review
I'm glad I live like Bonobono
[Bonobono], a comic that wraps profound philosophy in watercolor-like transparency.
The comforting words from [Bonobono] discovered by author Kim Shin-hoe!
[Bonobono] is a four-panel manga that was published in 1986 and has been serialized for over 30 years since winning the Kodansha Manga Award in 1988.
As of 2017, 41 volumes have been published, with 10 million copies sold worldwide. It was first officially introduced to Korea in 1995 as a comic book published by Seoul Cultural Publishing.
Afterwards, it was adapted into animation and film, and formed a thick fan base in Korea as well. In 2016, a retouched animation produced to commemorate the 30th anniversary was aired on Tooniverse and recorded the highest viewership ratings in the same time slot.
As Bonobono approaches his thirties, the children who grew up reading comics and animations have also become adults.
But as I get older, I still don't know what life is, and the more I try to be honest, the more I feel like I'm losing out, so I hide myself more and more.
As a result, I've reached a point where I'm confused about what I want and whether what I want is me, and as a result, I feel like I'm one step away from 'living well' even today.
Although adults are adults, they have become 'clumsy adults' who still lack the aptitude for living.
Author Kim Shin-hoe, who has evoked deep empathy from awkward adults with works like "Thirty is Beautiful," "Women Become Adults Every Night," and "Every Today is the Day Before Departure," has slowly savored Bonobono and extracted sentences that will comfort us, who are still awkward.
The episodes and lines in Bonobono, which felt so quirky and cute when we were children, resonate even more deeply with us now as adults when we watch them again.
After getting to know Bonobono, I started to see the world a little differently.
It feels like a soft grass has sprouted in a corner of my heart that was always sharp and sharp.
People are all different, and sometimes I meet people who are completely difficult to understand, but I realized that everyone is trying their best to live, and just as I have a reason for living this way, there is a reason why someone else lives that way.
I also learned that if there is someone you don't understand, you don't have to force yourself to understand them.
Whether we understand it or not, we will continue to live in the best way we each choose.
Just like Bonobono and his friends do.
_From the prologue
People who like Bonobono have a special characteristic.
People who live each day quietly without any grand dreams, people who prefer comfort over great fun, people who are living a life that falls short of their childhood expectations but are not frustrated because of it, people who know how to give up even when they are greedy and say that there are things that cannot be done no matter how hard they try, people who know how to listen to someone else's laughter, tears, and sighs as much as their own, people who sometimes seem unmotivated and lazy... ... People who like Bonobono get by even if they are not particularly cheerful or bright.
Even those who have loved Bonobono for a long time or those who did not know about Bonobono will find themselves captivated by its charm as they read the story of Bonobono, told in the calm tone of author Kim Shin-hoe.
As author Kim Shin-hoe said, “Among those who like Bonobono, there may be some weird people, but there are no bad people.
“Like me, like you, and like Bonobono”.
Ranked #1 in views throughout the entire Naver pre-serialization period!
The heartfelt support from readers poured in even before publication.
From my school days to now, in my late twenties, Bonobono is still a comic that brings me so much comfort and thought! It's so nice to see it written like this.
I want to see it in a book soon! _cndo****
How can you write such relatable sentences? The content is so good that I'm reading it sparingly.
_ljh5****
It's okay to go the wrong way.
The sentence 'You might discover something else' really resonates with me.
_Itang
I've always been Bonobono.
I hope everyone I know becomes Bonobono, and I'm waiting for this book.
_jack****
Bonobono is a modern philosophy.
_yeon****
I feel like books always give us something great.
Because we were friends, I thought of you, and so on, and I hurt you countless times, but I didn't realize it.
It's a bit shocking to think that I could be an uncomfortable person to someone, and it made me reflect on my actions.
I hope many people read this book.
_mone****
Although the original work is a work that makes people happy, the author's reinterpretation also feels very warm.
I think a book like this can bring a little moisture to a parched heart.
I definitely have to read it.
By the way, I want to see the cute Bonobono, Porori, and Nuburi again.^^ _JjunJjun
I think this is the book I really need right now.ㅠㅠ _lllo****
“It seems that fun things end in order to end sad and painful things.” The Bonobono I used to watch with laughter as a child and the Bonobono I watch again as an adult are very different.
I want to know more about Bonobono, which is light but has a big resonance.
Thank you for giving me a good book.
Author Kim Shin-hoe.
_Hektor
I just found this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! _dusw****
Of course, I do get touched by internet posts, but I think it's true that the emotion and empathy I get from reading a book is still greater.
I feel so good that I am getting to know a good book.
Buy it as soon as it's published! _Big Man
I look forward to it being published soon.
Watching this episode reminds me of a friend I really want to give this book to.
:) _yiji****
The expressions are so apt.
Expressions that are specific, yet relatable and not boring? _Really
I miss the shy and deep Bonobono and the twenty-year-old me who enjoyed watching that cartoon.
Right now I'm watching Bonobono with my young daughter.
Also, there is the Bonobono doll that Santa Claus gave me and that I always carry around with me.
This is a book I definitely want to own.
_twin****
I'm glad Bonobono came out~^^♥ _true****
Everyone knows the charm of Bonobono.
I hope this will be a comfort to all of us who have had a difficult time over the past winter.
_khsa****
I was anxious because I didn't know what my dream was, but after reading this article, I decided not to force it.
_White Seal
I just graduated from college and entered the workforce. Will I ever truly become an adult? A book that makes me feel refreshed and refreshed after a warm shower on a tiring evening. I'll definitely read it.
_Dalgona
Wow… how… the last words really hit home.
yes.
“Even if I don’t achieve my dreams, it doesn’t mean I’m worthless.” I need to live with more courage.
It makes me smile.
Bonobonoya, thank you.
