Ichigo no Yume - Shimatsuya Risuke no Kaii Jikenchou
Tableau Numero 20
gorgeous art, interesting stories. loved the first about the painting come to life, there was an air of bittersweet romance and mystery. and glimpses of their life after was very sweet too. merry go round one was ok, short little unrequited love type, in love with his childhood friend who is going through a divorce. Nice narration in relation to the horses. Kind of leaves right before any resolution, leaving the rest up to our imagination. the dancer one was ok, maybe my least favorite. maybe i'm not cultured enough to understand the nuances. dancer who prostitutes himself sometimes, and old guitarist on his team that stops him and brings back his passion for dance. Loved the story about the old man waiting for his friend, brilliant story telling and poignant, heart achey feeling. Of life and old age and being together, not necessarily about romance.
