Gakken Inc. began distributing the audiobook version of the 'New Edition: Ai, Fukaki Fuchi Yori' on Amazon Audible on May 15, 2026. This book is a memoir of a physical education teacher who lost the use of his limbs in an accident during class and was in the depths of despair, eventually learning to write and draw by holding a brush in his mouth. The bestseller, which has sold over 1.4 million copies and was released as a new edition in August 2020, has now made a fresh start as an audiobook. It is a book that never fails to move readers' hearts, and even when you are not in the mood or situation to read text, such as before going to sleep or while recuperating, you can immerse yourself in the world of the work effortlessly with the audiobook. Listening during your commute is highly recommended, but please be careful of sudden tears if you are in a public place. You can also view the precious material pages included at the beginning of the paper and electronic versions, such as the sketchbook used for practicing writing and drawing during hospitalization, as a PDF.
