Chapter 409: The Existence Called Father
As Makoto Takahashi said to Yoshida before, many readers chose to give up observing the manga because they couldn't bear the blow of the plot from the passing of Nagisa Furukawa after observing half of the content of the manga!
"Although the front is a little depressing, the back is really touching...... Naoyuki Okazaki is a good father, and Tomoya Okazaki will be a good father too!
"Agreed! Xi's lethality is too strong...... Don't ask me what the content is behind, read the manga for yourself if you want to know!"
"It's okay to be depressed and entangled in the front, at least I can hold back my tears, but the plot in the back ...... I really can't help it!"
“……”
More and more people have finished reading this issue of the monthly magazine in its entirety, and more and more comments have appeared on the Internet praising the plot behind the comics...... Many readers who didn't finish reading the manga because they were sad and depressed and angry before, after seeing these comments on the Internet, although it was still difficult to accept the plot of Furukawa Nagisa's death, but because of curiosity, they once again observed this manga that they had planned to give up before!
Even though most readers have not experienced a beautiful and happy life and suddenly lost their loved ones like Okazaki Tomoya, as an observer witness to the relationship between Tomoya Okazaki and Nagisa Furukawa from love to marriage and childbirth, I can understand Tomoya Okazaki's feelings!
In the manga, through Sanae's calculations, Okazaki Tomoto also had to be alone with his daughter Shio! In the manga, it is revealed through a monologue that in the years after Furukawa Nagisa's death, Okazaki Tomoto rarely visited his daughter...... Even in the days when his daughter Xi was the most important and needed her father's company, Tomoya Okazaki, as a father, always found all kinds of excuses to shirk and escape!
Although most readers sympathize with Tomoya Okazaki's experience, they do not agree with Tomoya Okazaki's irresponsible attitude towards his daughter...... At least before the tide came out, many readers felt that Okazaki had gone too far! However, when the comics, after the official appearance of the tide, some readers looked at the cute appearance of the tide, and faintly understood a little!
The appearance of the tide is too similar to the ancient river Nagisa who has passed away!
Tomoya Okazaki, who has not yet come out of the blow of [Nagisa Furukawa's Death], if he lives with Shio, he can't help but recall the things that he once lived with Nagisa Furukawa, and can't help but recall the joy and happiness he once had...... However, the reality is telling Tomoya Okazaki over and over again the cruel fact that Nagisa Furukawa has passed away!
I can't forget the good memories, and I can't face the cruel reality...... So the only thing you can choose is to escape, right?
So it's not that Tomoto Okazaki doesn't want to see his daughter, nor does he want to live with his daughter...... It's just that as soon as he sees Shio, Okazaki Peng can't help but think of his departed beloved, the person who redeemed his life and gave him hope in life!
Tomoya Okazaki, who is in a painful life, Tomoya Okazaki, who can't accept the reality of [Nagisa Furukawa's passing], Tomoya Okazaki, who has been trying to escape, finally can't escape under the planning of the Furukawa couple, and ushers in a situation where he has to be alone with his daughter Shio...... The plot of the second half of the comic "CLANNAD" began in this context!
He disliked that his father's fried rice was not delicious, and even used fried rice as a condiment to rice; he had to run to show off to his father every time he finished something, even a small thing like going to the toilet; he fell down because he ran too quickly, but he held back his tears and didn't cry or make trouble; even though he was sad because his beloved toy broke, he didn't cry like other bear children...... Although the young Xi has lost his mother since he was born, although the young Xi has lacked his father's care since he was a child, but looking at the strong and sensible appearance shown by Xi in the comics, the reader's side, who had suffered serious mental destruction and major blows, was slightly healed!
Although it has not been explained in the manga, Sanae's simple plan to let Okazaki Tomoya be alone with Shio is still easy to see through! So after seeing the manga, Okazaki Tomoya finally agreed to take Shio out on a trip, and most readers have faintly begun to look forward to it!
On the traveling train, after seeing his father Tomoya Okazaki, who lost his temper because of the noise of the children next to him, Shioen ran to the toilet alone and cried secretly! Although Tomoya Okazaki has been trying to avoid getting along with his daughter, it does not mean that Tomoto Okazaki also ignores his daughter!
“…… I said I couldn't cry! But there are places where I can cry!"
"Huh, where?"
In the "......" manga, Shio did not answer his father Tomoya Okazaki's question for the first time, but stared at his father for a long time before answering, "Toilet!"
"yes, if you cry in the toilet, no one will notice! Cry when you want to, what'......s the wrong thing? When I want to cry, I can't cry, and when I grow up, this situation is more ......"
, Xi asked Okazaki Tomoya what he was expecting, and Okazaki Tomoya revealed his helplessness by answering...... It's just a simple dialogue, but the manga spends nearly two pages to depict! At first, most of the readers who saw it felt that it was too detailed, and although Okazaki's painful feelings were revealed here, it didn't take nearly two pages to narrate, right?
However, regarding this question, when the reader saw the plot later, he understood the intention of a second-class cartoonist......
When the train arrives at the station, Okazaki Tomoya doesn't know how to get along with his daughter Shio, but he still buys his daughter a robot toy on the platform! When night falls, the father and daughter who arrive at the end of the journey stay in a hotel! During this time, Shio asks Okazaki Tomoya about his mother Furukawa Nagisa, but when it comes to the sad past, Okazaki Tomoya refuses to answer Shio!
Because Tomoya Okazaki still can't accept the fact that Furukawa Nagisa has passed away, so even in the face of his own daughter, his attitude will be so bad......
Although there is no monologue or narration about this aspect in the comics, as a reader of the observation manga "CLANNAD", I can understand what the cartoonist Phoenix Yuan really wants to express!
If the content of the manga "CLANNAD" continues like this, maybe many readers will give up this manga because of this, right? After all, compared to the improvement of the relationship between Tomoya Okazaki's father and daughter, the previous plot of Nagisa Furukawa's death is too lethal, not to mention Tomoya Okazaki in the manga, even many readers can't accept this reality in a short time!
The father and daughter came to the sea of flowers, and Shio took the toy that his father Tomoya Okazaki bought for him, and played happily in the sea of flowers, while Tomo Okazaki dozed off under a tree! When Tomoya Okazaki woke up from his sleep, he found that Tomoya Okazaki was looking for his lost toy! In the process of helping Tomoya Shio find the toy, Tomo Okazaki also looked at the surrounding scenery and fell into a short contemplation......
Because of this place, Tomoya Okazaki used to come to it when he was a child!
Walking in the direction of his memory, Tomoya Okazaki came to the lighthouse and met an old woman who called herself Shino Okazaki! And this old woman was none other than Tomoya Okazaki's father, Naoyuki Okazaki's biological mother, that is, Tomoya Okazaki's grandmother!
Like Tomoko Okazaki, Naoyuki Okazaki also started a relationship when he was a student, and he lived a happy life after getting married, and he also lost his beloved after giving birth to a child, and he also suffered unbearable pain in life...... But when encountering almost identical father and son, they have different choices!
Unlike Tomoko Okazaki, who also chose despair, Naoyuki Okazaki, who was also a father, did not collapse! Because Naoyuki Okazaki knew that he could not choose a desperate life at that time, because there was a young child who needed to rely on himself and raise himself!
Be sure to raise this child with your own hands!
Obviously despair of life because of the loss of his beloved, but Okazaki Naoyuki is with this obsession, and began to raise the young Okazaki Tomoya! Whether it is being fired from work several times, whether it is life tossing and turning, Naoyuki Okazaki's father has never let go of the hand he held Okazaki Tomoya!
With what little money he had saved to buy toys and snacks for his children, Naoyuki Okazaki sacrificed all his luck and chances of success for the sake of young Tomoya Okazaki...... Although there are times when he is very strict and rough with Okazaki, all of this is to successfully raise Okazaki Tomo!
"I heard that your current state is very similar to Naoyuki...... It's a painful thing! But that's why I'm telling you this, hoping you know what kind of father Naoyuki is! Tomoya, do you think Naoyuki is an incompetent father?"
"No, I'm a more incompetent person than he is! I'm in the same situation as my dad that day, but I'm so weak, so incompetent......"
"The same is true of that child...... Even so, he did his best for his children! As a person, he may have many failures, but as a father, he is very remarkable!"
"I ...... too Me too, I think so!"
The previous serialized manga also told about the life of Tomoya Okazaki's father, but it was not too detailed, not to mention that because Naoyuki Okazaki sold contraband, Tomoya Okazaki's job promotion opportunity was ruined...... So in the reader's impression, Naoyuki Okazaki is not a qualified father!
However, now, through Okazaki Shino, he told Okazaki Tomoya about Okazaki's past, and that almost the same experience as Okazaki Tomoya, saved a lot of impression points for Okazaki Naoyuki! Especially in order to raise Okazaki Tomoya, Okazaki Naoyuki has been silently struggling with despair...... Not to mention Tomoya Okazaki in the comics, even the readers who are observing it gradually identify with this great father!
No matter how painful and desperate it is to lose a loved one, even if you can't bear these pains, even if you can't face these difficulties, you still have to struggle to live...... Because guarding and raising children to adulthood is the duty of the identity called "Father"!
After learning about his father's past, Tomoya Okazaki also made up his mind and decided to live with Shio for the rest of his life! Seeing that Shio was aggrieved because he didn't find the lost robot, Tomo Okazaki tried his best to suppress the guilt in his heart, comforted Shio and offered to buy a new one!
"That's unique...... It was chosen for me...... I bought it for me...... Dad ...... for the first time, "Although the order of Shio's words is not smooth, whether it is the meaning he wants to express or the emotional impact of the content of the words, it hits the heart of Tomoya Okazaki and the reader!"
“…… Xi, can I stay with you......? I was an incompetent dad for a while, but I will definitely work hard for Shio in the future, so can I stay with you?"
"Well, I hope you'll stay with me!"
The firm look on Xi's immature face has already blurred the side vision of many readers...... But the real tear-jerking killer is about to be released!
"But today I lost something very important, so I'm very sad......"
"Daddy, that's, it's ...... Can you not bear it?"
"Sanae said, where you can cry...... Only the toilet, and Daddy's arms!"
The nose is sour......
Eyes are tingling......
Although this issue of the comic "CLANNAD" has not been completely finished, most readers put down the comic book in their hands again when they saw this...... Because Xi, a child who has always been strong and sensible, stabbed the tears on the reader's side with a simple single sentence!
……
Preconception is a bad behavior, but the sad thing is that this behavior has penetrated into the human soul and has become a habit that cannot be ignored when human beings carry out their cognition! Just like the impression of the author on the reader's side, it is largely constructed from the content of graphic novels...... For example, the author of the character of the second disease in the creation must be suffering from the second disease, for example, the author of the demon king who destroys the world must be the awakened person of the dark personality, and for example, the author of the creation of a father like Naoyuki Okazaki thinks that Makoto Takahashi must be a good father......
But as Miss Ueno said, Makoto Takahashi in reality may not be a qualified father, especially in the obvious difference between the attitude towards his daughter and the attitude towards his son, he can only be regarded as a serious daughter control! But in the manga "CLANNAD" created by the pseudonymous cartoonist Phoenix Temple, the image of Naoyuki Okazaki's father character is portrayed quite successfully!
Of course, if the reader reads the manga and learns how Makoto Takahashi is a father in reality, he may also have the same resonance as Miss Aoi Ueno...... (To be continued.) )
