Also have to update the date I read/listened to this one. A little less straightforward and more confusing than the original but 100% a worthwhile follow-up. Would definitely recommend if you read the first one.
この優しい物語をすべての働く人たちに ブラック企業にこき使われて心身共に衰弱した隆は、無意識に線路に飛び込もうとしたところを「ヤマモト」と名乗る男に助けられた。 同級生を自称する彼に心を開き、何かと助けてもらう隆だが、本物の同級生は海外滞在中ということがわかる。 なぜ赤の他人をここまで気にかけてくれるのか？ 気になった隆は、彼の名前で個人情報をネット検索するが、出てきたのは、三年前に激務で鬱になり自殺した男のニュースだった――。第21回電撃小説大賞＜メディアワークス文庫賞＞受賞作。 スカっとできて最後は泣ける“すべての働く人たちに贈る、人生応援ストーリー”
I burned through this audiobook (a lot of it while at work, ironically). One of my favorite prose books I've read/listened to in Japanese. I'll be thinking about this one for a long time. (I gotta update the dates I read it...)

Interesting. Definitely a little more realistic and less surreal than Holes but a good narrative nonetheless. (But maybe it's the times, not the story that have changed ><)
WAY cuter than I was expecting, and I love all the characters. Heavy on the girl power in a good way (reminds me of Toradora). Really funny, too, and I love some of the sfx translations.
@mollymay5000 A book club I'm in was reading it! I like the art a lot. I have one chapter left to read and it's not quite taking the direction I expected, but that could change. I like it though!!
