ＡＩ時代の読書　非効率な出会いの意味 · 2026年11月3日

古書店が舞台の漫画「本なら売るほど」のヒットからは、特別な本との出会い、本を介して人とのつながりを深めることに、共感する人は少なくないことがうかがえる。

The success of the manga "Hon nara uru hodo", set in a secondhand bookshop, suggests that quite a few people relate to encountering a special book and to deepening connections with others through books.

うかがえる (the potential form of 窺う, 'to peer at') attaches to a こと-clause. Together with 〜のヒットからは, which marks the source of evidence, it means 'from the manga's success one can infer that…'. It presents a careful inference from indirect evidence rather than a proven fact, which suits the editorial. The writer then qualifies it with 「ただ」 in the next sentence. Do not confuse it with the humble 伺う ('to visit / to ask'), which is pronounced the same.
