I Had That Same Dream Again (Novel)

Product Information

Hidup itu seperti seekor kambing (...) Aku berpikir tentang membaca sebuah cerita yang memikat. Menurutku, mungkin saja kita bisa hidup dengan menyantap buku. (Nanoka to Minami, hal 84)" A layered coming-of-age story from the author of I Want to Eat Your Pancreas and At Night, I Become a Monster. Ini adalah cerita dewasa yang diambil dari sudut pandang anak-anak yang polos dan jernih. Adegan-adegan di dalamnya super-aman, sih. Tapi ada tokoh seperti Abuzure san yang dari nama julukannya saja menyiratkan bahwa dia bekerja di 'bidang' prostitusi, dan tokoh berjulukan Minami san, cewek SMA yang suka menyilet tangannya sendiri. Hidup Kiryu kun itu seperti bakteri dalam gigi (...) Kalau tidak suka, kau harus melakukan sesuatu. Lain kali kalau mereka mengganggumu, kau bisa menyemburkan ludah ke wajah mereka." (Nanoka to Kiryuu, hal 41)

Characterization in this is so very good and I suspect that’s because of it being a manga version of a novel. Each of the three friends is at a very different place in life (which is a big clue to what’s afoot) and has specific regrets that, through their interactions with Nanako, they help to correct.Tokoh utama kita adalah Koyanagi Nanoka, seorang gadis SD yang pandai dan cenderung kritis serta suka mengatakan berbagai kalimat filosofis yang diawali dengan "Hidup itu adalah... Yang rada "nyebelin" dari anak ini cuma bahwa dia sadar sekali kalau dia pandai. Lucu gitu, baca sudut pandangnya dia jadi keinget masa-masa sebagai anak kecil yang kadang sok tahu dalam menyimpulkan berbagai hal dan pengetahuan. Hihihi... Dia tampaknya agak sulit bergabung dengan teman-teman seusianya di kelas, karena dia menganggap mereka semua bodoh. Dan tingkah laku teman-temannya itu kebanyakan memang digambarkan menyebalkan, sih. Terutama geng anak cowok yang suka menindas Kiryuu kun, anak pemalu yang hobi melukis. Vanishing Village: The first sign that the story has some otherworldly elements is when Nanoka discovers that the abandoned school where she and Minami meet up has disappeared, replaced by an empty lot with hazard tape around it. A more specific summary of the story is that Nanoka Koyanagi, a young, lonely girl with no friends but lots of brains, is given an assignment to define what happiness is and what it means to her. Nanoka is a rather eccentric girl who feels her classmates are spineless or idiots, but does have some friends: An elderly woman who gives her sweets, another woman who, I kid you not, is solely known as Skank (Yes, I'm serious, and we never learn her real name), and later, Minami, a high schooler who cuts herself. As Nanoka searches for answers, she makes mistakes and learns new things, not just about the people around her, but about herself as well. In contrast to the others, Granny lives a much happier life. She owns a nice house and enjoys baking treats for when Nanoka comes to visit. Like Minami and Skank, she doesn’t seem to have any loved ones nearby, but this doesn’t bother her too much. She’s lived a fulfilled and happy life. Hooker with a Heart of Gold: Skank-san's job, per Nanoka's description, is "selling her youth". This could be as simple as being a model, but the slur written over her door and the way she shrugs off Nanoka asking about it when they first meet implies that she's a call girl or actual prostitute. Despite this, she is always welcoming to Nanoka, seems to really enjoy her visits, and is generally kind and friendly.

I was going to give this four stars, but this book IS something special and it had me tearing up at the end which means it really got me in the feels in a way a story has not done for a very, very long time. Middle schooler Nanoka Koyanagi is given a simple task as her final school project of the year: a presentation on what she believes happiness to be. In secret, she's dealing with family drama, unrequited feelings and loneliness from being ostracized. The only people she has to help her find an answer to happiness are a suicidal high schooler, a depressed prostitute and a lonesome old woman. The subject of her school presentation soon reveals itself to be much harder than she originally expected. Upon embarking on a personal journey of self-discovery, Nanoka slowly unravels what the meaning of happiness is with the help of her three unlikely companions who are all dealing with their own inner turmoil. Meski Minami san menunjukkan sikap acuh dan penolakan pada awalnya, Nanoka nggak gentar (kuat juga anak ini). Lama-lama mereka pun sering ngobrol, meski Minami sendiri tak pernah cerita apa yang menyebabkan dia jadi suka mengiris lengannya. Tampaknya nama Minami ini juga bukan nama asli, melainkan nama sekolah tempat dia berasal, yang langsung disimpulkan oleh Nanoka sebagai nama yang sebenarnya. Minami san ini ternyata suka menulis cerita di buku catatan, dan bagi Nanoka cerita-ceritanya sungguh sangat menggugah. Davidson, Danica (August 18, 2020).

Mata, Onaji Yume wo Mite ita (Novel) - Baka-Updates Manga

One thing I will say in Sumino's favor is that Nanoka is a much better, more nuanced and three dimensional character than the lead in Pancreas was. Unlike the main character in that novel, who was just a quiet non-entity who was solely made so he can learn the beauty of life from his classmate, Nanoka has much more depth and personality to her. She's a precocious, outspoken kid who loves reading and tries to be as smart as she can, is a little egocentric, judges her classmates before getting to know them, tends to push her beliefs onto others without respecting their boundaries and wishes, and while she tries to be compassionate towards others, she makes plenty of childish mistakes that she has to learn from. She's not exactly a perfect portrayal of a child though, as Sumino makes it clear through the writing that she's not exactly the best at writing children. Nanoka often says a lot of philosophical things that no child in real life says, and she's always going on saying "Life is like X because Y and Z," and things of that nature, with a lot of gratuitous introspection that is unbelievable for a child of her age. Plus, her behavior in the beginning can make her very hard to like. Then again, it's very hard to write children realistically, especially if one hasn't really been around them all that much, which is understandable. As far as being a realistic child goes, Nanoka's not getting any points there, but as a flawed, three-dimensional character who actually grows, develops, and learns, Sumino fared much better here than she did in Pancreas. Last year, I reviewed a movie and novel titled I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. Both were not great, and it was pretty clear that Yoru Sumino, the writer, still had a lot to learn when it came to things like characterization and creating engaging prose. While browsing the internet, I found out that Seven Seas had licensed two more novels that she wrote, this being one of them. I Had That Same Dream Again centers on a young girl and her attempts to find the meaning of happiness through various people she meets every day. That's really it. Having read it, it seems like Sumino learned from the mistakes she made in Pancreas and tried to rectify them here. At least when it came to writing a main character who wasn't a one-dimensional wooden slab. cuando eres pequeña, basta con que veas solo la parte dulce del amor, pero, cuando te haces mayor, descubres que el flan también tiene una parte amarga…y, antes de que te des cuenta, ya estás pensando en que está mal separarla. Y terminas comiéndotelo todo junto…pero a mi no me gusta la parte amarga, y, como me da pereza esforzarme por apartarla..poco a poco, he terminado por no comerlo” Running Gag: Nanoka is constantly saying "Life is like [X] because [Y]", with X and Y changing every time she says it.

Aku tidak ingin kau menjadi seperti aku yang membiarkan pertengkaran hingga akhirnya tidak lagi bisa bertemu. (Minami to Nanoka, 112)" If you often feel sad and think that nothing can make you happy anymore, this might be the manga that you can relate to. The story is about a girl named Nanoka who is in search for the meaning of happiness. Her sensei asked the class to prepare a presentation for the answers and Nanoka still doesn't know what really makes her happy. She went to meet her friends and there are lots of new things she learnt after spending time with them. All Just a Dream: The last chapter reveals that everything before then was an extended dream of Nanoka's as an adult, calling into question just how much of her time spent with Skank-san, Obaachan, and Minami actually happened and how much was just her own life experiences.
