Chapter 53: The Endless August (6)
With the Internet environment at this time, the number of active people on the forum is very small after all, and the proportion of these people in the readership base of the Hibiscus Club is exaggerated and can even be ignored, but from a certain point of view, people who are willing to go to the online water forum after reading the comics must be very fond of the comic works of the Hibiscus Society. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Most of them are veteran readers.
Therefore, their opinions and ideas are more representative, and from their attitudes, we can infer the reaction of a larger, more frightening readership in reality.
The current Simiel has a circulation of 400,000, that is, a readership of more than 400,000.
But after all, not all readers will report so quickly, this kind of large-scale healing event may have to be brewed for two or three days, and the readers who bought Simiel on the first day are only a part of the total number of readers after all.
Although Simarielle's monthly publication is also a small thing for readers, and some people are curious about the ending of those short stories, after all, the magazine is not limited, so there is no need to rush to buy it on the first day.
There may be some readers who have already bought Seamaril and finished reading this issue, so they are venting their emotions all over the world, and when they have no way to vent, they may also pit a friend who looks at Seamarel without knowing the situation.
When we are healed together, we are truly healed.
Some readers haven't bought the magazine yet, and they haven't been fooled, so they don't know what the plot is going to be.
There are readers who have bought the magazine and are now looking at it, such as Chiaki Komikawa.
After watching the five centimeters per second, she just felt that her emotions were a little blocked, some things she wanted to comprehend, but she didn't comprehend them, some things she wanted to express, but she couldn't say anything about it, which was a bit weird, but it was certain that this work didn't hit her tears.
She is also not aware of the malice that exists in this issue.
So after flipping through this work, marveling at the storyboard and drawing, she naturally turned to the second short comic.
Reading in order, the second short story that will be completed is a reminiscence of a certain pilot.
Touched but regretful, this is how Komikawa felt after reading this work.
In a general sense, the ending of this kind of work needs to cater to the needs of readers, so many people are used to seeing princesses who fall in love elope with commoners who love each other.
And the hero and heroine in "Reminiscence", they do have a good impression of each other, but the fate of the two people only has such a short period of interaction, and after this period of time, their fates have become two parallel lines that can no longer converge.
This story has its own reasonableness, Komikawa feels regretful, but he can accept such an ending, and the bridge where the male protagonist spends money to bid farewell to the heroine is really well handled.
Based on the feelings brought by the speed of five centimeters per second, temporarily as a line to measure emotional changes, the second five makes Komikawa feel stuck in his throat, and the reminiscence of a pilot This work is below the benchmark for Komikawa, which does not refer to the quality of the work, but to the emotional impact.
To put it bluntly, above the second five are the tears of Komikawa, and the second five and the reminiscence of a certain pilot will not make her cry.
Well, putting the work "Remembrance" in this position is actually just a buffer.
There may be similarities between people, or everyone's tears, or they may be completely different, but for campus girls like Komikawa, it is still better to summarize the general rules.
So another work after the buffer is completed is the Forest of Fireflies.
Komikawa turned the pages of the Firefly Forest page by page, she was not stupid, and after reading the previous two works, she also had a faint hunch, and the ending of this third part seemed to be something she could guess?
So she saw that after the silver was touched by humans, it turned into a fluorescent and disappeared.
So when he saw the heroine Hotaru's sentence "If I could turn back time, I would still choose to know you", she was already in tears.
And when she saw the monologue of the heroine Hotaru, "I won't be looking forward to the arrival of summer for the time being, my heart hurts, and I can't stop crying, but the gentle touch that stays on the tip of my hand, even with the memory of summer, will go on with me forever", she couldn't stop crying.
In the work of Firefly Forest, after the disappearance of the male protagonist, this line of the heroine Hotaru has a huge lethal power for some female readers, and it can be equated with the sentence of friend A, "Spring is coming soon, the spring that let me meet you is coming, and the spring without you is coming." ”
However, there is a story tied to the Firefly Forest later.,The former disappeared as a youkai.,And the latter's twilight girl disappeared into a ghost.。
This doesn't need to be distinguished in the past, for Komikawa, the Firefly Forest is the one that suddenly makes her burst into tears at the end, and the Dusk Maiden is the one that makes her cry from the beginning to the end of the page.
This is a difference in the way narratives and feelings are expressed.
In the work of the Dusk Girl, the previous words have revealed the identity of the heroine Geng Xizi and what happened to her before her death, and her memory has been restored, so for a ghost, her wish in this world has also ended, and there will be no more nostalgia.
Because of nostalgia, the dead will turn into ghosts and stay in the present world, because the wish is fulfilled, the ghost will become a Buddha and then leave the present world, like this folklore, readers are naturally familiar with it, so they can clearly feel that the heroine is going to disappear from the beginning of the story.
The heroine Geng Yuko, who is a ghost, makes a final date request to the male protagonist Shintani Sadachi.
Among the twilight girls, Geng Xizi can't leave the school like an earthbound spirit, so the last place of the two can only be in the school building, where they used to get along.
And as time goes by, the last moment is coming, and Geng Xizi's body has begun to become transparent, and soon she will disappear.
She decides to disappear alone, because ghosts are ghosts after all, and Shinya has a life of his own.
But the male protagonist Shinya decided to accompany her to the end.
In the supernatural investigation department where the two people first met, they sat on the old sofa and leaned together, quietly waiting for the final moment to come.
Gradually, Shinya could no longer hear Geng Xizi's voice.
Gradually, he could no longer see the other party's figure.
"Can't hear you anymore?"
"Yes."
"Maybe it's about the same."
"I'm sorry...... Crying? ”
"One last request, forget me."
"Don't worry me, please put me at ease."
In the end, Geng Xizi, who can no longer be seen by humans, wrote such words on a notepad, which was the last communication between the two people.
"Will you be at ease then?"
"Then you can go away without worrying?"
"In this case, in this case, I will forget about Yuko-senpai. It may take me a while, and I can't do it right away, but I won't keep it in my heart forever...... Forget about Yuko's predecessors, meet other girls, and live the same life as before, this will be my life in the future......"
And then there is the ending where the heroine disappears.
Selectively, it's a complete coincidence that the adapted version of the Twilight Girl and the Firefly Forest are put together, but the two works are very balanced to take care of different readers.
Some readers will be moved to tears by the sudden disappearance of the silver in the firefly forest, and will be moved to tears by the gradual disappearance of the heroine of the twilight girl, and the gradual emotional expression and processing method in the process of her disappearance.
One is sudden, and it doesn't even have time to react to the tear ducts, while the other is to gradually move people from the whole process.
Of course, there is no need for Chiaki Komigawa-san to distinguish and appreciate the difference, because she cried from the end of the Firefly Forest to the end of the Dusk Girl.
There is no way, there are still many people who are too delicate in emotion and have overdeveloped tear ducts. (To be continued.) )
