dark reflective sad

tekram99's review against another edition

 such a great start, really captures the essence if feeling lost in childhood more than anything else ive experienced. asano is a beautiful artist and his writing style frames the assumed innocence of a child who is constantly told they’ll learn more about life when they get older

DID NOT FINISH: 46%
Not bad by any means!! Its a very well drawn and emotional manga - I have just procrastinated on reading this for too long and had to return my copy to the friend I was borrowing it from - unlikely I'll buy my own tho, the subject matter in later volumes might be a bit much for me

The rating is actually 4.5/5

I love Asano's writing and art style. It perfectly fits the theme of the manga.

All we want is to understand each other, but we keep clashing thoughtlessly... and you tell yourself that's just what people are like... but that feeling of wanting to treasure her... I want you to believe that was real.


شب‌بخیر پون‌پون خارق‌العده‌ست. تکنیکی در ادبیات مدرنیسم داریم به اسم واقع‌گرایی روانشناختی. این تکنیک می‌آد و چشم و ذهن شخصیت اصلی رو تبدیل به
پنجره‌ای برای روایت داستان می‌کنه و شما دنیای داستان رو اونطور می‌بینید که پون‌پون می‌بینه. از روی تصویرسازی‌ها متوجه می‌شید کی‌ها براش عزیزن و کی‌ها غریبه. اتفاقاتی که ممکنه برای بقیه عادی باشن چطور در ذهن پون‌پون شکل می‌گیرن و مبنای واکنش‌هاش چیه. نمود این موضوع توی تصویرسازی و روایت شاهکاره.

خود داستانش هم به قولی یه مدرنیسمه که می‌خواد رشد (از همه نظر) انسان در طی رویدادهای مختلف رو نشون بده. این کار رو هم به شیوه‌های خیلی خیلی جالبی انجام می‌ده. در نظر بگیرید پون‌پون عاشق شده، اون هم وقتی که پدر و مادرش دارن طلاق می‌گیرن. داستان خوب بلده در عین ساده موندن، عمیق بشه و حرف بزنه. تجربیات مشترکی رو به تصویر بکشه و بهتون متذکر بشه که خود شما چطور از این رویدادها عبور کردید. آغاز کم‌نظیری بود و طبق گفته‌ی دوستان، هنوز ضربات هولناک زیادی مونده.


I think you can only gain true freedom when you're willing to throw away everything.
