| Rui wants to learn statistics not because she is interested in the subject but because she has a crush on Mr. Igarashi, whom she hopes her father will hire as her tutor. When instead her father hires the nerdy Mr. Yamamoto to teach her probability and statistics, she does so still hoping to use her knowledge to win the affections of Mr. Igarashi. (Don't be surprised, however, if along the way she finds her self more interested in both math and in Mr Yamamoto than she initially imagined.)
This manga was originally published in Japanese in 2004. An English translation appeared in 2008. Thanks to Terence Carey for bringing this book to my attention. |

Where are the new works of mathematical fiction?: As you can see from this chronological listing, this database includes many works of mathematical fiction for each year from 1990 to 2025. Strangely, only two are listed for 2026, so far. Either less mathematical fiction is being published than in previous years or I'm just having more trouble finding it. If you know of any works of fiction that should be added to this list, especially recently published ones, please let me know. (Keep in mind that I do not include self-published works or children's fiction that just covers elementary mathematical concepts.) Thanks!
