In 1975, Miss Rumiko Takahashi, who had been fond of manga since childhood, was admitted to Japan Women's University in Tokyo and moved to an apartment in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, the first time Takahashi lived alone from home, leaving takahashi in her hometown of Niigata Prefecture, and making Nakano's apartment her warm second home.
Five years later, based on this apartment life, Rumiko Takahashi created the classic manga "A Moment together" (Ichiki Apartment), in which there are characters with distinct personalities, such as Hirosaku Goshiro, a young widow who has lost her husband, Otomuko, Fujidai Mikaka, Hotel Lady Roppongi Jumi, and The Strange Man Yotsuya.
Although the manga story is based on the love of Yusaku and Naruko, relying on various frictions and karmas to push the main line forward, this manga is an uncompromising youth manga, incorporating a lot of social and growth factors into the seemingly dull life.
In 1980, Rumiko Takahashi's "Moment together" began serialization in the youth manga magazine Big Comic Spirits, leaving many classic moments worth recalling during the eight-year series, and more interestingly, this manga used a time trajectory synchronized with reality.
In the 1980s, the beginning of Japan's economic crisis, in the manga works, based on this environmental pressure, people increasingly like the end of the world and save the earth theme works, such as the special drama "Ultraman", "Dinosaur Express Ksai", the manga "Astro Boy", "Dragon Ball" and so on.
However, Rumiko Takahashi's "Moment together" breaks through the reader from another dimension, that is, the feelings between people, which is why "A Moment together" is classified as a category of youth manga, and there are many meanings in it that teenagers can't understand:
Hirosaku Goyo, who lived in Niigata, failed the college entrance examination in 1980, so he lived in a one-moment apartment to repeat a year, and the next year he was admitted to a third-rate private university, fell in love with the administrator of the apartment for a moment, and the two people had a good feeling for each other from ignorance to each other, slowly from liking to falling in love, and finally getting married and married.
In the manga, Yusaku is a poor warm man, Miss Arashiko is young and beautiful and there is no shortage of suitors around, such as the rich second generation of Mikasaku is one of the suitors, so why did Naruko finally choose Yusaku as the marriage partner?
At the beginning of The creation of this work, Rumiko Takahashi was 18-23 years old when she was young and full of longing for love, but the idea of love integrated into the manga had to be admired.
Is the combination of Naruko and Yusaku a cliché that a lover eventually becomes a family member and that it is difficult to buy true feelings? It's far from that simple.
Goshiro's personality is very simple, simple, kind, introverted, and wooden, which can be completely summarized in 4 words, but what kind of person is his favorite phono- It's not that simple.
Born in an ordinary family, very beautiful, when she was a 17-year-old in high school, she fell in love with the (female chasing boy) class teacher, Otomu Ichiro, because of the resistance of two families, she eloped and married Otome Ichiro.
At that time, Otome Ichiro was 27 years old (nearly middle-aged), in a state of unemployment before, just an acting lecturer, it is undeniable that Ichiro's gentle personality and mature male charm attracted the little girl Xiangzi, but his family lineage should not be ignored.
A veritable rich second generation, his father is the majority shareholder of a private school and owns a property in Tokyo, "One Moment Apartment", and his son Koichiro will undoubtedly inherit the family business.
Looking at Yusaku again, although the manga uses poverty and poverty many times to describe Yusaku, in fact, Yusaku's hometown and parents run a family restaurant, rather than the poverty in everyone's impression.
When she first arrived at the apartment, Xiangzi lost her husband (car accident) 6 months ago, but judging from the fashionable clothes and beautiful dress when Xiangzi first appeared, the first relationship has obviously been tempered by time and gradually faded away.
The love triangle of Yusaku, Naruko, and Mitaka has always been talked about by manga fans, and we can also analyze Mitaka to see why Naruko rejected Mitaka's pursuit.
Mikaka instantly, the capitalist brother, countless women around, young and handsome driving a luxury car to live in a mansion, will he really like the bereaved ringer? Well, we don't maliciously speculate on others, but it is undeniable that Mitaka, while pursuing Naruko, also maintains an ambiguous relationship with other girls.
Mika married Asuka because of "Bongko getting married", and although it was later learned that Bongko was Asuka's pet dog, the relationship between the two can be seen from this.
Naruko is absolutely unable to control Mitaka, whether it is her ex-husband Yuichiro or her lover Goyo Yusaku, both men are toyed with by Naruko in the palm of their hands, although the word is not used well, but it is very appropriate.
Naruko is definitely not the kind of girl who can't see reality for the sake of feelings, on the contrary, she will choose her own happiness, but at the same time she will make plans for the future, and the apartment where Naruko and Yusaku have been living in her ex-husband's house is a good proof, and It is likely that Ichiro's father has tacitly given this property to Naruko.
Although living on rent is not considered to be middle class, coupled with Yuzuo's salary, at least enough for a well-off family, it is much less stressful than the average office worker.
See the people around you, identify the life you are pursuing, plan well, and let it go! This is the encouragement Takahashi shows to young girls through the manga "A Moment together".
Saying that the hotel lady is a bit misused, Jumei in "A Moment together" is actually a waitress in the coffee shop tea tea pill, but Takahashi's Jumei is actually a metaphor for another kind of person - young women who are on the edge, they will use their charm, and if they are not careful, they will play the wrong move in life.
In the apartment for a moment, Jumei always walks around in transparent pajamas, which is actually a metaphor for something, although the male tenants will salivate at Jumei, but at least on the surface they have a lot of respect for her.
Jumei is as young and beautiful as Xiangzi, but speaks directly and pays little attention to the subsections, and Jumei's final destination is to become the proprietor of the coffee shop tea tea pill at work.
Mr. Takahashi has a great exhortation to the future of young girls, similar to Jumei, a more open-minded girl, who ultimately needs to find a good home, and the youth that can be squandered must be very short.
Mr. Yotsuya, who lives next door to the five generations of the one-moment apartment, is definitely a pervert, but on closer inspection, what Yotsuya does is not excessive, there will definitely be five generations present when peeking at the girl, and he did not do anything strange when he watched (this is already strange enough!!! ）。
It is said that it is a peek, but in fact, there is no difference between what you see and usual, in the end, the behavior of Four Valleys can only be explained by curiosity, when going out, Mr. Four Valleys will pick up this very strange curiosity and face the outside world with a serious face.
No matter what kind of non-mainstream and unique hobbies you have, before you find a friend who can reveal your heart to "perform real technology", you must protect yourself, at least pretend to be a normal person!
The Ichinose family who live in the Ichiki apartment, Mr. Hanagi is an ordinary office worker, because of 996, so everyone can't see him going to work and off work, his wife Hanae is also an office worker, the two are almost office romance, but it is Hanae who plays the wrist to let Mr. Ichinose marry Hanae.
Although Ichinose worked hard and tried to live a 996 life, he still experienced unemployment, and the middle-aged Hanae was nosy, long-tongued, easily deceived, dissatisfied with reality and borrowed wine to pour sorrow, but the two people depended on each other and had a good relationship with each other.
For ordinary families, ordinary life is their only dependence.
There are also some depictions of the elderly in "A Moment together", which is simply evocative and unforgettable, Five Generations Yusaku because his parents are busy running restaurants, he was brought up by his grandmother since he was a child, and his grandmother has a good relationship, and the feelings of the two people are so good that they even gave grandma the nickname "dried squid".
Although he is the only man in the Five Generations family, the Five Generations have a general relationship with their parents, moving out to live alone and do not want to inherit the family restaurant. Whether it is father and son or mother and son, only those who have raised children with their own hands and suffered with their children can be called "caregivers".
Although the author does not describe this intergenerational parent much, he has some condemnation of the parents of the five generations, which is the so-called "parents who are born without raising people". I don't know if there is anything to learn from today's young parents.
After learning of The Fifth Generation of Ringer's bells, Xiangzi's grandmother went to investigate Yusaku's personality and found that this was a poor boy who was not compromised, and said, "Women always feel money, status... It is better to be happy than to be loved...", in fact, I want Xiangzi to find a rich object again, and Yinwu's father also hopes that the widowed Xiangzi can remarry and not waste her youth alone.
Two old men, one with his own experience to warn the young Xiangzi, the other as the father of the husband who had married (deceased), to admonish Xiangzi, two kind old people, are portrayed as three points into the wood.
In reality, whether it is a existence like a grandmother who has raised five generations, or a existence that really breaks the heart for children, the situation of the elderly is far less harmonious than described in the comics.
Occupy the square dance of the field, occupy the morning bus "elderly bus line", people, once old will be annoying, young people are impatient to talk to you, young people simply walk around you, even if the elderly entertain themselves, will also provoke social dissatisfaction, treat the elderly around you.
If the true meaning of juvenile comics is to bring teenagers dreams, encourage them to pursue life, and ignite enthusiasm in life, then youth comics are to let young people and middle-aged people who have stepped into society and work hard in society not to give up and continue to love life.
A moment of encounter, but it is worth spending the rest of your life to slowly reminisce~
