"Beautiful Life" is a popular writer in the field of comic essays Takaku Naoko is a work that depicts his twenties when he was an aspiring illustrator. The second volume depicts a twenty-five-year-old Naoko Takagi who has become accustomed to Tokyo life two years later, approaching the dream of illustrator one by one. In the morning, the hotel breakfast was served, and at night, the data entered the alba, but the life was stable, but the way to become an illustrator is still far and hard. When I go to posting, I get disgusted with the question "Did you enjoy painting this picture?"

The reason why Naoko Takagi can keep up with many failures is because there is a family that supports herself. I go to a hot spring trip with my family, and I pay a subway fare and pay a bill. At last, Naoko Takagi opens his first solo exhibition and collects a bunch of sweets and makes his own illustrated homepage on the computer. While watching the five cherry blossoms in Tokyo, you will be able to keep a close eye on Takagi Naoko, who is about to fall behind in his dreams as he approaches his dreams.

這本圖文書說的是作者放棄在家鄉的工作，到東京來希望能以從事插畫工作維生。實際情況並沒有她想的那般單純，她不但沒有找到插畫工作，甚至為了生存，過著一天做兩份工的打工生活。

當初一定是很辛苦幾乎熬不下去的日子，因為堅持到底，最後以圖文作家出道的作者，說自己其實是很莽撞的，但卻也是幸運的，雖然最終不是從事希望的插畫工作，但那些無心插柳的網站圖畫日記，卻促成她出版了第一本圖文書，之後這樣一本一本畫到現在。

漂泊後，終於圓夢了。

高木直子的圖文書, 就是維持著有趣好笑又帶有一些感性及淡淡憂愁的風格.
也是是因為是 "一個人" 的主題吧, 自然有時會出現一個人的落寞.
讓讀者也跟著想到自己一個人的時候.
但是在書中也讀到作者的堅持和勇氣, 獨自一個人在東京辛苦的生活, 是為了她要成為插畫家的夢想, 而為了維持生活所必需, 同時從事飯店的餐廳服務生及資料輸入員的工作, 仍然維持在生活收支的恐怖平衡狀況, 又在2份兼職的空檔中不忘她的志願(雖然也常有偷懶). 而與她同樣工作的同事, 大家也懷抱著自己的夢想在努力.
真的, 不要小看在你身邊的每一個人!
