What is this book about?

Nagase is twenty-nine and works on a contract at a factory, while also helping in a friend’s café, doing data entry at home and teaching computer classes. She left her first job after severe bullying by a boss. One day she sees a poster for a round-the-world cruise and realises that the fare, 1.

63 million yen, is almost exactly what she earns in a year at the factory. She starts saving hard to pay for it.
