Velvet Going Underground
A collection of various theme short stories. I'm in love with the art of these stories.
Atashi Wa Sore Wo Gaman Dekinai
The words that sum up the men of these stories... selfish and asshole.
Haru No Noroi
Complicated relationships. Again it reminds me... "Our parents don't know what's best for us, they want what's best for us based on what they've lived and learned. But who knows what is good for us is ourselves because we are individual beings, different from them". Sad about the way the guilt consumed Haru. (Not only her) I don't have the ability to understand that feeling. It was obvious that Tougo had something for .Natsumi (Not necessarily love, at least not at first) But with the pressure of their parents, he eventually gave in. It is also important to point out the way they treated Natsumi. Unfortunately it is not uncommon to see parents diminishing children who are not as they want them to be. (It's almost that "If you don't have the same ideals as me or don't follow what I say, you don't deserve anything"). Hard... The guilt of having fallen in love with Natsumi and on the other side the pain for having fallen in love with Tougo. Haru, what I felt for her was not pity. I just wanted to comfort her heart. But she was selfish having those thoughts. In the end, both had to overcome their fears and doubts. Having to decide what's best for them without having the worry of hurting anyone. A delicate story that deserves your recognition.
Nigate na no wa Amai Momo
Kono Toshishitakun, Yudan Narana Itsu!
One » I was wondering if not in police in this world. Because if a guy breaks into my house and says he's going to live there. It's pretty simple to call the police or pull a knife. (If he doesn't get arrested, he gets out dead) Two » Why the hell didn't she do anything on the train? She needed the help of the guy who kidnapped her house. Three » she submits to being humiliated in the workplace. What a hate. (At least in the end she resigned) Four » this issue of Hayato being rich, she is poor. They can't be together blah blah... cliché. Conclusion » a story without innovation. Not that it's bad, but it's not great either. For a short story it was satisfying.
