A lot of readers shouted “We need not a handkerchief but a towel”. youtu.be/JnBXMUOcSoo USA bit.ly/1kkIAci amazon/exec/obidos/ASIN/0989232603 UK amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0989232603 Every Little Thing was first published in May 2007 in Japan. Since then, the book has sold over 400,000 copies. There are four primary reasons for the book’s success: 1. A TV report featured a high school student with a history of truancy who found the courage to go back to school after reading the book. 2. A top news item on Yahoo.co.jp reported that a reader had been dissuaded from killing himself after reading the book. 3. Strong word of mouth from female readers. 4. The first story in the book, “The Boy and the Beetles,” was featured in official textbooks for ethics classes in schools, and some college entrance exams featured questions related to Every Little Thing. As a result, the book was translated into Korean and Chinese and published in South Korea, China, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, and was turned into a stage play that ran in both 2008 and 2009. Both versions starred two of Japan’s top actresses in the lead role. The initial run of 200,000 hardcover copies quickly sold out, but no further editions were released due to financial problems suffered by the publisher beginning in fall 2007. The publisher eventually went bankrupt in 2009, and it was not until July 2010 that a paperback edition was released by Kodansha in response to strong demand for the book to be reprinted. A sequel is on its way with a tentative release date of August 15, 2011.
