You freaky saddist~!
Why thank you…
…
So can we start NOW?
Okay fine…
So today’s manga introduction will be…
Shoujo manga ‘Mekakushi no Kuni’~
Never imagine the day I will introduce a Shoujo manga, since I usually don’t read them…
______________________________________________
Mekakushi no Kuni (Manga; 9 volumes)
Genres: Drama, Romance, School Life, Shoujo, Supernatural
Mekakushi no Kuni, or literally Land of the Blindfolded, is the story of three clairvoyant high school students: Otsuka Kanade, Naitou Arou, and Masahiro Naiki; and their interactions with other normal students.
Otsuka Kanade is a high school girl who sometimes sees the future of the person or object she touches. Although she is uncomfortable being touched, she refuses to live her life in fear and uses her powers to help prevent uneventful accidents from happening on those she sees that would be in trouble. One day, she meets Naitou Arou, a new transfer student who can see the past but does not feel he can do anything to help with his knowledge. They also meets Masahiro Namiki, another student who can also see the future but has more control over his power than Kanade and uses it for selfish reasons.
Kanade, Arou, and Namiki live in a world where society might not accept them if their secret is ever known other than by their friends. On several occasions, people learn about their secret, with varying reponses. From isolating him from the rest of the people, to accepting their talent, these moments will never fail to make your heart feel tender.
One thing I like about this manga is how the author makes use of one of the problems that is faced in some societies: Discrimination. Whether it is by race or by some other differences, most minority groups tend to be outcasts from society.
Another issue would be the problem faced by disabled children in some households, usually when another sibling with no disabilities is present. Although Namiki does not possess a disability, his power of clairvoyance makes him abnormal, causing his parents to be afraid of him, and always only caring for his normal younger brother. Of course, they don’t hate him; they are just unable to understand him, like how some parents feel towards their children with disabilities.
Well, even after saying so much, there is still one thing that I must absolutely point out… Everything that Kanade sees is always (with one or two exceptions) some bad accident. No matter what, it’s always bad somehow. Sorry to be crude, but it’s like as though Kanade is a ‘Danger Detector’…
Rating: 7/10 <<<<<<< DDD
In the nutshell: A nice considerably short story that tingles at those heart-warming scene, but be warned that this manga story line is practically predictable (it’s labelled drama). And please don’t expect much romance scenes; it’s progression is SO slow that you will feel like pulling out your hair in frustration
Merged into one crazy psychopath
