A la clase de Yamada llega Mozuku, una chica muy peculiar que quiere ser su amiga a toda costa. A Yamada no le hace gracia tal persecución pero el carácter infantil de Mozuku y la forma de vivir su día a día le harán mella.
Un manga muy interesante que te hará cuestionarte los límites de la realidad y la ficción, la niñez y el ser adulto, la violencia y el amor. Una historia impredecible, dura y muy cálida.

其實常常搞不懂輕小說輕在哪裡，杉基イクラ的畫風很適合這個有點萌但其實頗痛的青春故事

瞄到網路上其他人的感想提到這個故事的概念不算深，敘事方式也略嫌淺白直接，但我不知道，如果這是我十幾歲遇到的人，那還真的一輩子忘不了

I read this a while ago and remember really enjoying it. I loved the illustrations, I loved the suspense, I loved the exploration of how abuse distorts a victim's perception of love, and I loved the overall feeling of melancholy, tragedy, childhood helplessness, and loss of innocence. Something about the juxtaposition between the horror that Mokuzu has endured and her constantly lighthearted, whimsical facade is so heartbreaking and serves as a really interesting portrayal of what could be--in my interpretation anyway--maladaptive daydreaming as a coping mechanism; a means of slipping into a fairy tale world to escape from the real one. I would love to eventually read the novel this is based on if ever I can get my hands on a decent translation or learn enough Japanese to read the original.

Instead of crying at the end uncontrollably, I felt tears just passing through while reading this volume. The whole vibe is so melancholic that you know what will happen through parallels and context, but it still is so sad. I really like the main character's growth from the start. It was so painful to read the ending despite knowing it was going to happen. The scene with Umino and the guy (I forgot his name, the porcupine head) was really still in my head. The way each scene was necessary to the story and how it was told in past and present felt really nice. Please read if you want to read tragedy but great friendship with a melancholic vibe the whole way.

Beh, da un lato non mi aspettavo una cosa del genere. Dall'altro era quello che avevo immaginato.

Violenze domestiche, sogni spezzati, animali che pagano un caro prezzo. Avevo capito che tutta la storia delle sirene dovesse nascondere qualcosa di grave e anche perché. La fine, durissima, non ero riuscita a immaginarmela. Insomma, spero sempre che ci sia una specie di lieto fine.

Qua è forse un lieto fine a metà. Qualcuno deve morire affinché qualcun altro possa scoprire la sua strada.

Bei disegni.

Bel consiglio.

Las balas de dulce de azúcar no pueden perforar nada...

De verdad viene, el 3 de octubre. La tormenta que pasa una vez cada diez años. Los botes se hundirán, la línea costera se deformará, las sirenas de todos los mares en el mundo se reunirán, porque soy la princesa...

esperaba un final mejor

Short but absolutely heartbreaking. But the friendship between the girls was beautiful even if it did end so tragically.

[Steve Shea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I slogged through this (both volumes) in French, and resorted to reading it alongside the only available English translation, but that's a scanlation, and I wanted to support the mangaka, so I bought the French version even though I can't really read it. I love the art, and the story is stark, unhappy, and shocking, but hard to turn away from. This is the only series I know of that Sugimoto both wrote and illustrated. I like Nanamaru Sanbatsu because of the illustrations, even though it had a different writer, but this is so much more powerful.
