Into the book
“Dad, I’m eleven years old.
No, after my birthday today, I'll be twelve.
"Why am I so short at twelve? I'm probably the shortest in my class, or rather, in my grade."
“If you eat well and sleep well, you will grow taller in the future.
“Is our Gain also working hard on stretching?”
Dad said, looking at Ga-in's expression.
Ga-in's father was also upset because of her height.
I was very worried because Ga-in, who dreams of becoming a model, is smaller than her peers.
So, I never missed buying nutritional supplements that were said to be good for height every payday.

--- p.21

“You’ll regret it if you just leave the mala-tang restaurant on your birthday.
“The wish-granting mala-tang restaurant can only be visited once a year, on your birthday.” “So, a wish?” “If you eat mala-tang with a special wish ingredient, your wish will come true.” “Does it really grant wishes, including wishes for growing taller?”
--- p.27

"Gain, what's wrong?" "You've grown taller! You're exactly 5cm taller than yesterday!"
“What’s gotten bigger?” Dad said, finding Ga-in strange and putting her against the wall again.

"Really? Our Ga-in has been stretching so hard, and her body is finally paying attention!"
“No, our genetic power is finally coming to fruition.
“Just in time for my twelfth birthday!”
Mom and Dad were just as happy as Ga-in.
Gain was surprised to see that sight.

Publisher's Review
A dream that came true overnight.


How wonderful would it be if dreams could come true overnight? The time we have to wait for our dreams to come true.
How wonderful it would be if you didn't have to work hard for your dreams, and your dreams were already realized! All you had to do was enjoy the dazzling aspects of your dreams.
In this episode of 『Mala Tang: 5 Spicy Hot Pots for Your Birthday』, Ga-in's dream comes true overnight.
Gain's dream is to be a model.
But I'm worried because Gain is so short.
I stretch every day and eat mindfully about calories.
He practices walking and diligently prepares to become a model, but he is frustrated because he is short and finds it difficult to achieve his dream.
However, after meeting 'Mala Tang for Birthday', he grows 5cm taller every day and gets closer to his dream of becoming a model.
He meets a model he considered his role model and hears that they want to work together, and a photographer from a famous magazine approaches him to recruit him as a model.
But Gain's dream fades away like a bubble again.
"Mala Tang for Birthdays: 5 Mala Tangs and 5 Kua Ba Rou" shows children the fantastic experience of having their dreams come true, while also making them realize that dreams that others have made come true can vanish like bubbles.


Mama and Momo, starting a new journey together

In the previous "Mala Tang for Birthday" story, Mama tried to collect all seven rainbow sweat drops to make a wish, but failed.
Mama blames Momo for this, but Momo knows Mama's true feelings and decides to help her fulfill her wish.
So, starting from this story, Mama begins to gather sweat and grant the children's wishes.
But Momo speaks forcefully to Mama.
We shouldn't save up all our sweat and tears by ruining children's dreams.
He says he will take care of the children who ate Mama's spicy stew.
So Momo secretly approaches Ga-in at the giveaway event and tries to solve the magic of continuing to grow taller, and also gives the helpless Ji-hoo a Kkwabarou in advance to remind him of his strengths when he was worried.
This is how Mama's rainbow sweat collection started again.
Will Mama be able to gather more sweat drops with Momo and make her wish come true?

A backstory with an open ending

Each episode in the "Birthday Mala Tang" series had a generally open ending.
At the end of the episode, the children take their final step towards dispelling the magic of Mala Tang, but the story doesn't continue as to what happened to the children after that.
Given the flow of the story, I thought the subsequent story could be easily inferred, and the intention was to leave room for children to think about it.
However, many children have been curious about the story behind it and have been asking questions.
So, this time, in volume 5 of Mala Tang, the author tells the backstory of Yeonji, who appeared in volume 3.
It would probably be a great gift for kids who love the "Mala Tang for Birthday" series.
And, as was originally intended for an open ending, we are also holding an event where children can imagine and write the story behind it.
If children write backstories and submit them, some of them will be selected and included in an actual book.
It will be an opportunity for many children's imaginations to blossom.
