I lost hope for any Harada comics a long time ago. It's just too problematic that it will make you cry blood. But not this time. I was hesitating to open this series but I decided to push my luck, and guess what? It left me with tears and a sob or two. This is so beautifully crafted, and painfully touching. The plot twist is really engaging, and the extra chapter tugged at my heart. Takashi deserved all the love in their world!

Không chỉ là tình trai, mà còn vặn xoắn những mặt tối cô độc của một kẻ già đầu vất vưởng bên lề xã hội, gói kèm cảnh ngộ thương tâm của một thiếu niên là nạn nhân của miệng đời tởm lợm và bít rịt cảm thông. Hai tâm hồn một rầu rĩ một nát nhàu đột ngột dính vào nhau, khơi dậy một hòn than đỏ hỏn ấm áp giữa lạnh giá ngoài kia, cùng chút rung động khát khao từ lâu đã trọi trơ như đá.

Không chỉ mỗi tình trai, nó còn trần trụi hơn, ngột ngạt hơn thế nhiều. Mà, cái cảnh ngoảnh lại chỉ còn một màu trắng lạnh lẽo của tuyết, nó đau lòng ghê gớm.

Re-read on 2023 'cause got the spanish edition. Made me emotional just like the first time :') Harada's work might be a hit or miss, but when she hits she does it hard.

____________

"There are a lot of things that Kouki doesn’t have – no hobbies, no friends, no lover, no stable job, and no will to live. So when a random tussle with some kids gets him stabbed, he thinks maybe this is finally his ticket out of this crappy life. But just as he’s about to pass out he sees a beautiful “angel”… How is Kouki supposed to cope when less than a month later, he’s mysteriously healed, has astronomical bills to pay, and suddenly has the same beautiful angel as his amnesiac roommate?"

___

So unlike Harada's past work but still deals with heavy themes like in her serialized work. a story about grief, depression, second chances and finding joy in life. It's so bittersweet it made me emotional. Good stuff.

A veces el mundo pesa demasiado para cargarlo tú solo mientras avanzas por caminos inescrutables donde apenas eres consciente de lo que te rodea. Porque el cansancio te ciega, porque estás tan centrado en el dolor que no eres capaz de visualizar nada más allá de la distancia que te queda por llegar.
Pero, ¿a dónde? Eso tampoco lo sabes. Es un peso más que cargas y sientes que ya no puedes más. El mundo te aplasta y se te han acabado los motivos para seguir avanzando. 
Tienes miedo.
Te duele.
Estás solo. 
Y, de repente, una luz. 
Y en esa luz ves algo que no has visto nunca: la esperanza. 
De eso va 'One Room Angel', de esa luz. 

Empiezo aclarando que esto NO es un BL, como las otras obras de Harada publicadas en nuestro país. Es una historia muy humana, que transmite muchísimos valores y que narra una relación de amistad de las que salvan vidas.

La vida de Koki había perdido el sentido. Con más de treinta años, odiaba su trabajo y los terribles errores del pasado hacían que sus días solo fueran una marca roja que tachar al finalizar la jornada. Se sentía solo. Necesitaba que alguien lo quisiera, pero todo el mundo sabe lo difícil que es que otros te quieran cuando tú no eres capaz de quererte a ti mismo. 
Una noche, cuando parece que su vida ha llegado a su fin al recibir una puñalada, Koki ve caer a un ángel del cielo con sus hermosas alas blancas desplegadas. 
Y así es como el Ángel aterriza en la vida de Koki. Un Ángel sin nombre ni recuerdos del pasado, pero que se ve afectado por los sentimientos de Koki. 

Harada nos da una lección de vida con esta obra de superación llena de mensajes esperanzadores a la vez que amargos y duros. 

Para mí, la mejor obra publicada de Harada y un tomo único que recomiendo si os gustan las historias que os remueven por dentro. 

Una maravilla.

It is a pretty sad story about a middle age ex gangster Kouki who was recently unemployed (pretty much his employer was an old jackass), hasn’t much friends and all of the things he needs. He then meets a middle school guy who is an angel but has a extremely sad reason on why he’s an angel (not spoiling it for y’all). The ending really was a punch in the head so yeah get tissues and be prepared for a depressing story is all I can say dudes…..

Pensaba que sería un BL romántico, pero no lo clasificaría ni como una cosa ni como la otra. Había leído muchas cosas buenas de la autora, pero sus historias suelen mostrar relaciones tóxicas y eso me tira para atrás. Por eso, al saber que esta obra era diferente quise leerla para conocer a la autora. Este One room angel, me ha transmitido buen rollo, melancolía, soledad,... en resumen: es una preciosidad. Es una historia muy bien desarrollada con protagonistas perfectamente definidos. Dos personas que se necesitan aunque no saben para qué, ni por qué. Me ha llegado mucho a la patata. Si todo lo que hace esta autora tiene ese trasfondo no me extraña lo bien que se habla de ella.

Mi ha sorpreso: una storia delicata, semplice ma non priva di significato. Inaspettata da un’autrice come
Harada. Ci insegna non poche cose in queste duecento pagine, da una riflessione sul suicidio a un inno all’arricchimento reciproco, a prescindere dall’amore. Disegni curati come sempre.

Le doy 4 estrellas, pero la verdad, había mucho hype con este BL y me pasa lo de siempre, que lo leo y digo “pues no es para tanto”. Aún así, me ha gustado esta Harada “buena”.

Precioso. Una historia conmovedora con un plot twist que no me esperaba para nada, además muy bien traído. No puedo decir de que va este manga verdaderamente sin hacer spoiler, pero sí puedo decir que es un tema del que no se habla y que es urgente y necesario abordar como sociedad, así que mis dieces al autor.

En definitiva es una historia muy humana, contada a través de un un dibujo muy detallado y limpio, y que creo que puede conmover a todo el mundo. Ah y esto no es BL ni Yaoi, y me alegro porque habría sido bastante raro, aunque al prota le quitan la camiseta cada vez que pueden (cosa que agradezco). La única pega que le pongo es en relación a esto último: la excusa para que nuestro protagonista este mazado es malísima, pero malísima. Pero bueno el resto del tomo lo compensa así que perdonamos.

Lectura recomendada para todos :)

I cried so much reading this.


(also completely ignored the romance bit cuz the age gap was disturbing and throughout the story it was more of a father-son energy)

Honestly the story would've been good if that damn boy wasn't a middle schooler. Like, it's just really icky when you think of the age difference.. it disgusts me and doesn't let me enjoy the story

first of all, the age gap bothered me a bit… but if you interpret it in a more platonic way, i think it’s acceptable (?)
anyway, the plot was really interesting and well written, it even made me cry a little.
the message behind it was so meaningful :(

La historias más bonita, llena de sentimientos y emotiva que ha hecho Harada hasta la fecha. No importa que a alguien no le guste el BL o la propia Harada, porque este manga tiene una temática universal y el modo de narrar sigue siendo tan suyo que es imposible que a alguien no pueda conmoverle One Room angel.

Este manga nos habla de la soledad, del sentir que tu vida no vale nada, de arrepentimientos y de nuevas oportunidades. Todo el manga tiene una filosofía sobre qué es la vida de uno y cómo debemos vivirla. Tiene un muy bonito mensaje de esperanza aunque haya momentos agridulces y un final hermoso a la vez que muy triste. El epílogo final es precioso. Broche de oro para Harada que muestra lo versátil que es.

Malancholic yet hopeful. I'm used to Harada's psychological fuckery and depraved kinks that constantly make me question my life choices because more often than not, I'm hella into them. 💀 So this one was quite refreshing in the sense that it's tame in the Harada scale, has an adorable af angel, and involves no sexual themes, as what I have come to expect from their works.

This fell short in impacting me emotionally but I still enjoyed it. That extra chapter was precious af. Would recommend to BL readers, especially to those that binged all of Harada's fucked up stuff and would like some type of palate cleanser.

Having said that, this still contains triggering themes, so proceed with caution.

One of my all time favorite one shots! I‘ve cried my eyeballs out and still wanted to reread it again and again. Harada‘s works are quite controversial but this one is safe to read (just be prepared to cry. A LOT.)

Un tributo alla vita lieve come l'angelo che porta in copertina e pesante quanto il tedio quotidiano di chi non avrebbe più voglia di andare avanti.

Book so good that I want to live. Kouki and Takashi showed us something so precious... 'But love them for all that they suffered.' I am in anguish!

«La vita è un continuo ribellarsi alle cose che capitano.»

Con One Room Angel lasciamo da parte l’aspetto erotico che caratterizza altre sue opere e ci concentriamo maggiormente sugli attimi quotidiani e sulla sfera emotiva dei personaggi.

Partiamo da Koki: un trentenne che ive in un piccolissimo appartamento e lavora come commesso in un konbini. L’insoddisfazione della sua vita è accompagnata dall’inerzia che lo accompagna ogni giorno. Dopo essere stato accoltellato, però, si meraviglia di essere ancora in vita. Durante la perdita di coscienza, Koki si ritrova ad osservare un giovane angelo dalle ali bianchissime. Immaginate la sorpresa quando, tornato al suo appartamento dopo la dimissione dall’ospedale, si ritrova a dover convivere proprio con quest’ angelo sfrontato, che non può più volare ed ha un’amnesia.

Koki si troverà alla ricerca dei ricordi perduti dell’angelo, scoprire cosa sia successo ed allo stesso tempo continuare a vivere la sua vita. Cosa potrebbe cambiare? Beh, tutto.

Un volume unico che riesce a racchiudere il dolore, la disperazione, la sconfitta ma anche l’amicizia, la gioia delle piccole cose, i legami che si creano durante una vita intera (che sia stata lunga o breve). Il senso di soddisfazione che arriva dopo aver finalmente completato qualcosa a cui si teneva e l’assenza che la fine ha portato.

Harada è stata grandiosa in quest’opera. Non solo per il suo stile inconfondibile di disegno ma anche nella drammaticità e nella passione che traspare durante tutta la lettura. Ci parla della vita e della morte e lo fa con un mix tra delicatezza e crudeltà.

Chi non si è mai sentito come Koki? Come se il peso sulle spalle fosse troppo da sopportare ed ogni giorno ci si sente sempre più stanchi per fare anche solo una cosa diversa per cambiare le cose? Il passato che ci rincorre e ci marchia a fuoco, il relazionarsi con gli altri e soprattutto con sé stessi. Ci ricorda che possiamo sempre essere salvati, se non con le proprie forze almeno da una persona che ci resta accanto (anche se per breve tempo).

Manga molto delicato, non è uno yaoi nemmeno lo definirei un boy's love più che altro è la storia tenera di Koki che non ha più voglia di vivere e poi grazie all'angelo comprende il significato della vita. Harada si è superata con questa storia così innocente e delicata.
