手寫信
好喜歡你，我真的好喜歡你！只是……為什麼我卻會變成心上人的第三者呢？史上最年輕的「芥川賞」得主綿矢莉莎，暌違10年，再次回歸高中校園，寫盡青春男女的曖昧情感和微妙心理！說不出口的愛戀、帶著一點點逞強的笑臉，我把一切夢想都寄託在那張信箋裡，只希望它能代替我，永遠陪在你身邊……
他愛她，而我愛他；她愛他，我卻已經離不開她。這就是我那充滿愛戀、鬱悶、糾結的，十八歲的青春……渾身散發光采的高中女生「愛」，意外愛上了一個有著憂鬱眼神的男孩「譬」，她總是偷偷注視著他，在心底兀自欣喜、失落，細細品嘗暗戀的青澀滋味。那時她想，只要能這麼默默守護著他，也就足夠了。
直到那一天，她從一封信箋中發現了另一個她──「美雪」的存在，隨即這些日子以來她所建構的美麗幻想，也隨之幻滅了。可是她想，她總要搞清楚他們兩人之間究竟是什麼關係，是筆友？是戀人？還是比她所能想像得還要多更多？於是「愛」決定，她要成為「美雪」在這所學校裡的第一個、也是唯一的知己好友，藉此更接近他，並調查出事實真相。豈料，源自於她對「譬」的熾烈愛意，卻自此化成一場變了調的青春……

What will you do when you discover your crush is already involved in a relationship, even though you had a crush on them? Ordinary people would probably just carry on with their lives, waiting for an opportunity that would eventually present itself, but Kimura Ai will jeopardize that opportunity.

La bellezza di un volto che non conosce ancora la propria espressione.
Il romanzo che segna il ritorno di Wataya Risa al mondo scolastico adolescenziale dopo l'acclamato 蹴りたい背中. L'autrice riesce a trasmettere l'ambiguità e la pregnanza di significato di un momento peculiare nella vita di ognuno con la stessa maestria della sua opera seconda. Tuttavia, sembra affidarsi a colpi di scena e brusche virate che forse poco si addicono a un racconto di formazione di questo tipo, a cui un maggiore approfondimento dei personaggi (soprattutto il protagonista maschile) avrebbe forse giovato. Insomma, serve meno trama (chissene ormai della trama) e più interiorità. Infatti, sono i momenti di quiete a parlarci più nel profondo, i pensieri della protagonista e i dettagli di una vita adolescenziale che, ancora una volta, è quasi dolorosa da riscoprire tra le pagine di Wataya Risa. Incipit interessante (mai come quello di 蹴りたい背中 , d'altronde che libro può vantare un tale incipit?) e finale soddisfacente.

途中から思いもよらない展開になるからこの先一体どうなるのかと気になって一気読みした。
行動がだいぶクレイジーで共感はしないけど、この生々しい感情はなんか理解できる気がした。

I really like the live-adaptation, specially the story itself. Please, continue bleeding!(人*´∀｀)｡*ﾟ+

The author has been my favorite writer ever since high school- she delineates complexity and unpredictable emotion and actions of teens ever so uncomfortably, yet accurately, I've had to put the book several times before resuming. Definitely makes me reminisce my seishunki.
