What I’ve Been Enjoying Lately - Japanese Media Update

As I said in my last post, I started posting these because I was struggling to find something to watch, and I wanted to help others with similar problems by sharing a bit about the media I’ve been consuming. So let’s get into it!

📚 Books:

美少年探偵団　－　西尾維新: This novel follows Doujima Mayumi as she consults her middle school’s secretive club - the Pretty Boy Detective Club - to help her find something she lost in her childhood. For a book for and about middle schoolers, this one surprised me in lots of ways. Firstly with how difficult it was language-wise and secondly with how much I enjoyed it regardless. The characters are a hoot and the plot will certainly keep you guessing (especially if you’re like me, and struggled understanding everything). I would recommend this for more advanced learners or those who want a challenge, but it’s probably not the best confidence booster book.

コンビニ人間　ー　村田紗耶香: This novel is about a woman who works at a convenience store. Its a literary novel that deals a lot with what is expected from a working adult in Japan, especially when someone has no desire to climb the corporate ladder, so to speak. For such a simple premise, this book is massively intriguing. Also, for a book that doesn’t have (or need) a villain character, this has one of the most despicable characters I’ve ever read, and one thing that really makes this character so viscerally creepy is the fact that people like this exist.

リスタートはただいまのあとで　ー　ココミ: This is a manga series with just two volumes that stole my heart. It follows 25 year old Kozuka Mitsuomi who has just returned home to his small town after losing his job in Tokyo. Back home, he meets Kumai Yamato, and their relationship blossoms from there. The sequel, リスタートはおなかをすかせて, revisits the two characters four years later. First of all, I always love seeing romance manga following characters older than high school age, but this series really shines even without that. It’s extremely sweet and I love the way it depicts an adult character who has failed and needs a reset. The characters also speak in a dialect in this one, but I find the language to be fairly middle-of-the-road for me personally, not a breeze to read but not frustratingly difficult.

光が死んだ夏　－　モクモクれん: This manga follows Yoshiki, a high school boy whose childhood friend, Hikaru, went missing in the woods six months prior. About a week after Hikaru goes missing, he returns. However, Yoshiki notices that the Hikaru who came back is not the same Hikaru that left. This manga is a horror BL that absolutely stole my heart, even though it only has two volumes out right now, it’s my favorite manga series! The atmosphere is fantastic, the characters are wonderful, and the relationship between Yoshiki and Hikaru is going in a completely different direction than I expected, but I adore the way it’s unfolding. The language in this one isn’t too difficult, but it takes place in the countryside, meaning that the characters do speak in dialect.

🎞️ Shows and Movies:

サイダーのように言葉が湧き上がる: This anime movie, available on Netflix, was a very cute watch. It follows an outgoing girl, Smile, who wears a mask to hide her teeth, and a shy boy, Cherry, who uses haiku to express himself, as they meet in a chance encounter and spend the summer together helping an old man find past memories. This is quite a simple movie that has very straight forward and easy to understand dialogue. Again, it’s cute, but that’s about it. The art is unique and very pretty, though!

プリンセスチュチュ: This is an older shoujo anime that follows a duck named Ahiru who wants to be human so that she can dance ballet. She is transformed into the magical Princess Tutu in order to collect pieces of a prince’s heart. I’ve been watching this without subtitles so it’s more difficult for me than if I just looked for some captions, but I’m challenging myself, and the language itself doesn’t seem to be all that difficult. This anime is super cute and the soundtrack is fantastic. I especially love it as a classically trained oboist, I’m sure any ballet or classical music fan could appreciate the ballet-inspired plot and soundtrack.

💻 YouTube channels:

【 公式】窪田等の世界 : A channel where classic short stories from Japanese literature are read aloud. I’ve been listening to these on my walks and loving it. My favorite so far has been 走れメロス！

茅ケ崎みなみ : A travel vlog type channel. I love her camping vlogs, they’re so relaxing to watch and make me want to get out in nature. She is also very upbeat and is always happy in her videos. I love this channel, it’s become one of my Japanese YouTube staples

梶裕貴 : Yep, the voice actor Kaji Yuki’s YouTube channel. Lots of his content is Let’s Play type videos, and his (hilarious) playthroughs of ときめきメモリアル get me through doing dishes.

サイダー - もさを

Character designs that add to a character's appeal for you?

the first one that comes to mind is Doujima Mayumi, especially because of the color design - the short hair and eyes are purple, the massive eyelashes are black, the trousers are black and white, while the star-shaped earring (usually covered by hair) is yellow - adding up to the nb flag. There's a whole lot of good designs, but Mayumi is one of the most obvious cases of character design adding commentary/context to the character
