Sometimes growing up doesn't feel like growing up. Sometimes it's just another Tuesday.
Toma is eleven years old.
Well, eleven and a half.
And apparently, that matters.
He has a best friend named Theo, an older brother named Ren who thinks he's old enough to know everything, a girl named Yuna who Toma is pretty sure he likes, and a diary that he isn't entirely sure he's using correctly.
There isn't really anything special about Toma.
He's not trying to save the world. He doesn't have some huge destiny waiting for him. He isn't particularly popular, particularly talented, or particularly good at knowing what he's supposed to do.
He's just a kid.
A kid going to school, coming home, arguing with his brother, spending afternoons with his best friend, getting embarrassed over things nobody else remembers, becoming obsessed with random things, making mistakes, making friends, losing friends, discovering new things, and trying to understand why being eleven sometimes feels so complicated.
So he decided to write it all down.
His first entry was supposed to be simple.
It wasn't.
And neither are the days that come after it.
Toma's Diary Log is an ongoing slice-of-life coming-of-age story following Toma through childhood and, eventually, whatever comes after it. There is no final destination waiting at the end of the story, because Toma's life doesn't have one either.
Some entries will be funny.
Some will be awkward.
Some will be completely ordinary.
Some will hurt.
Some might not seem important until much later.
And sometimes, Toma will write something down without realizing just how much it says about him.
Because this isn't a story about Toma becoming someone.
It's a story about Toma being Toma.
One diary entry at a time.
Welcome to Toma's diary.
