Part 03: What is Hitokoto Card?

Hitokoto Card is like a written opinion. Members can convey their requests on products sold at the store and dining hall’s menu. Sometimes they even consult personal problems. These are written in Hitokoto Card, which is submitted to the co-op. Then, co-op would answer the question or request using the same card. After that, these Hitokoto Cards are displayed in message board. Nowadays, many university co-ops publish Hitokoto Cards online.

- A lot of them are requests or questions about dining hall and general store.

- For example, "Please sell that ice cream in the general store!"

- As a university co-op is members’ own store, they can speak any opinions frankly.

- Students and co-op staff are very close to each other, so students are encouraged to convey their request casually.

- Eh?

- Serious ones like romance-related consultation...

- Um?

- Hey, what’s wrong?

- Serious ones... romance-related consultation!

- I can listen to your problem if you want to?

- Did I say something terrible?
