Kotaro Isaka talks about sex and crimes through Haru's tone. In the novel, Chun said: "I know the nature of human nature, sex is a human must, I don't hate this, big brother." But I hate guys who think it's the end of the world without sex. Many men see everyday life as a boring emptiness between their next bedtime, and there are so many of them that they are ugly. In fact, this is also the author's use of the tone of the characters to warn our lives and criticize sexual crimes. Sex should be good, not a prisoner of desire.

The language and characters of the novel are very humorous, and Kotaro Isaka is accustomed to writing the characters in an exaggerated way. After the "Golden Hound", "Big Bear", "Eggplant Face" that appeared in "Audubon's Prayer", the characters such as "Stalker", "Big Pie Face", "Violent Uncle", "Future Man" and other characters in "Gravity Joker" are also very funny. Spring water and spring, such a half-brother, is even more infinite.

Kotaro Isaka said in an interview after writing "Gravity Clown" that he felt lonely at the thought of never seeing the two brothers again. What is not the case for readers who close the book? "My brother and I are the strongest combination" Whether it is racing when I was a child or punishing the most annoying together when I grew up, my younger brother Chun has always said this sentence.

"The clown swung his swing in the air, and everyone forgot about the existence of gravity." Gravity is the obsession that plagues people's hearts, if you can be cheerful, can be relieved, untie the knot, it will be infinite freedom and joy.
