"TIGER X GRAGON", light novel. After such keywords are given, the first reaction of those who have not seen the work will be tilted toward the magical side. However, "TXG" unexpectedly takes the line of campus life comedy. There is no huge world view setting, there is no protagonist with spiritual power, and there is no sudden attack from another world. There are only bonfires in the summer festivals on campus, only snowflakes on Christmas night in winter, and the desire to meet someone you like. Unspoken feelings.
Such an ordinary and no longer ordinary main line of content has become rich and full of tension under the author's excellent grasp of the characters and the excellent description of the contradictions of the characters. The compact storyline brings us round after round of psychological The waves are surging, and the author handed over to the reader a perfect answer sheet.
Aizaka Okawa, Takasu Ryuji, Kushieda Minori, Kitamura Yusaku, Kawashima Ami, in their lives, it seems that there is no pause that makes people gasp, one story has not ended, another story is at the most unexpected time Raid in. In their lives, encountering each other seems to have brought more life-changing turns than friendship and love.
The dance is about to begin, masks, pretending everything can be faked
It seems that I have seen such a sentence: "All stories come from the intensification of contradictions." The appearance and encounter of the characters in "TXG" seems to exist to prove this sentence, not to mention the male No. 1 high The encounter between Suryu Er and the first female Aizaka Okawa "collision-frenzy-dancing swords and sticks", just seeing the first meeting of Okawa and giving Kawashima Ami a slap in the face is enough to convince us that this is definitely not the case. A story that develops according to common sense. As for the plot of Beicun's confession to Dahe being rejected and then being chased back by Dahe, I believe that anyone will show an expression of disbelief.
However, the small fights between these characters when they meet can only be regarded as the appetizer of this feast. The dinner is in the story that gradually unfolds, accompanied by stories, which are the increasingly entangled and increasingly entangled relationships between the five people. Approaching the deepest touch and turbulence in the character's heart, this has become an inner clue that affects the continuous development of the story. And the author's brilliance lies in the successful detailed descriptions, showing such complex and tangled psychology delicately and completely without being messy, and uncovering the masks on the faces of the characters and the outer shell layer by layer .
What I have to mention here is the author's shaping of Ami Kawashima. As a model, Ami showed her natural and cute personality as soon as she appeared on the stage, and the willful arrogance and fear buried deep in her heart formed a huge contrast with this. Just when we thought she was just an ordinary little girl, it was Kushige who first let us know the wisdom behind her mask, whether it was her whispers about Kushie's inner fears in the school corridors, or Kujie's presence. In front of Long'er's evaluation of Amei, all of us are impressed by this girl who looks sweet and sarcastic but has a more careful heart than anyone else.
When the notes tremble, please dance with me
Takasu Ryuer, with a fierce face but the gentleness and consideration of a typical family man After that, honorably became the dog beside the tiger. Making double lunches in the morning, making double dinners in the evening, and going to the girls' house from time to time to clean up, everything seems to be a natural part of daily life. His gentleness makes the dog's identity seem extremely powerless. He will accompany Dahe to get angry at the telephone pole. He will swallow the unpalatable biscuits on the ground mixed with sand to comfort Dahe. Breast pads are sewn for the dignity of a girl. Whether it is the caring smile for Dahe's happiness, or the sweat running for Dahe to be no longer alone under the spotlight, Long'er's gentleness stirs not only Dahe's heartstrings, but also ours. After being embarrassed for a long time: "It's okay to help people like this", who can't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly for this tenderness?
Aizaka Dahe, although he has a cute doll-like face and petite figure, is called a tiger because his name is homophonic with TIGER and his uncontrollable fiery temper. The girl made unreasonable demands to Long Er and then said, "Because you are my dog." This seems to be a very righteous statement. When she gets angry, she can overturn all the desks and chairs in the classroom. But later, it seemed unfair to her to describe Dahe only as "beautiful". Dahe, to be more precise, is tough. She has the courage to stand in front of people who have been rejected by her and say "like", and she also has the courage to accept the fact that she has been deceived by her father more than once. As a "fruit" in a causal relationship, Dahe's strength comes from the big empty house she faces alone every day, and from the sadness and anger that no one understands. So, when Long'er appeared in her life, it not only filled the monotonous color of life, but more, filled a lonely corner of her heart that had been dusty for many years with happiness.
It was the most beautiful time. Dahe was still in love with Beicun, and Longer was still in love with Kushi. Dahe and Longer shared only a very simple common friendship, pure laughing, pure crying, pure Angry and tacit to each other. However, the moment they were named the protagonists, their story was destined to not end in an ordinary curtain.
At the end of the song, switch partners, or, exit the dance floor.
The turning point should be after the campus festival. It seems that everything has changed after waking up one night. Everyone and everything seem to have deviated from the original orbit of the planet, and began to rampage desperately. One second, he was laughing in the pure friendship paradise without any impurities, and the next second he stepped into the emotional hell of tangled contradictions. Kitamura, Kushie, and Dahe seemed to undergo subtle changes in their hearts at this time, and then unfolded another story full of struggle, hesitation and pain.
Kitamura's feelings for the student council president, Sumire Kano, seem to have come too suddenly, so suddenly people can't help but wonder if it's a side story that was inserted midway through. But Dahe's feelings changed because of this. After knowing all this, Dahe no longer forced Beimura's eyes to divert her from her, and the last thing she did to end this unrequited love was to rush to Jin desperately, forcing her to admit her heart. . The dialogue between Dahe and Jin, mixed with fighting and tears, can be called a classic of "reflecting the psychological activities of characters through language description", and it can be directly put into a textbook:
"(The coward) is at least better than you, a fugitive. Ah! Say it! If you don't want to accept Kitamura-san's wishes, say you hate him!"
"If I could be a simple idiot like you, I would love to be too! I want to be an idiot, too. Go ahead!"
Beicun, being liked by two such strong girls, you can have no regrets!
Compared with the love triangle of Kitamura, Sumire, and Dahe, which caused a sensation in the whole school, Dahe, Ryuer, and Kushieda's relationship can be said to be a silent battle. Greetings, sparring together, the emotional waves in my heart are surging in secret, Kushihi hides his feelings for the happiness of Dahe and Longer, and Dahe makes the same sacrifice for the happiness of Kushizhi and Longer, it seems that The only one who is ignorant of all this is Long Er. His slow expression of his feelings really makes people sweat for him. On Christmas Eve, he needs a reminder from Dahe to remember that he should put "Confessions to Kushichi" in comparison. When "caring about the river" was more important, he didn't realize that the number one in his heart had changed. The hearts of three people are like broken stars, even if they are repaired and shining in the light, even if you say "Look, isn't it okay", but——
Do you see the crack? Can't laugh as honestly as before, idiot.
Halftime, let's have a drink together
. Another success of "TXG" lies in the endless stream of small clips that make people spit out. After watching one episode after another, I found that basically the emotional impact of each episode will not deviate from the main line of first bursting laughter, then suppressing the last emotional explosion, and then ending abruptly in one episode. The reason why "TXG" can make people clearly feel the delicate psychological changes of the characters in the laughter is mainly due to this kind of emotional arrangement that is constantly deepening and sublimating. The main content of the story is of course concentrated in the second half of each episode. , and as an indispensable first half of the clues of each episode, its brilliance is by no means inferior to the main line content. Ryu'er and Dahe, who wanted to make fun of Kushige and Kitamura, were teased one after another by the other three, and Kitamura appeared as an exhibitionist (shiny?), and in Ami's villa alone, the series of jokes was enough to make people laugh To the facial paralysis, and Dahe's JULIA style in the campus festival is believed to have made many lolicon aspire to be a ROMIO.
The leisurely holiday, the vitality of the poolside in summer, the liveliness and excitement of the campus festival, these sun-drenched beauty and protagonists Together with their increasingly gloomy psychology, they bring us a complete and vivid youth.
At 12 o'clock, please be honest with the original dance partner
"TXG", which uses the mask, a tool for concealment, to the extreme. If the deceptiveness of appearance to character is only the most understandable and clear mask outside, then When they face their own feelings, they use self-deceiving smiles to cover up each other's well-known emotions, which is the most moving emotional mask.
In fact, it was the second time that Da He’s feelings for Long’er broke out on Christmas Eve. The first time was when Long’er was drowning. At that time, Da He did not realize Long’er’s position in his heart, but was purely afraid. Dragon's departure. But this time, it was different. Dahe was very sure of his feelings, but he had to push Long'er away with his own hands and return to the world without Long'er. How did she return from the dance to her cold and desolate home? What kind of determination did she make to say "Go back to the dance, Kushige is waiting for you" to Ryu'er? We don't know. What we can see is the satisfied mask that Da He puts on in front of Long Er, and the lonely expression and the missing expression when she is alone facing the candle, saying "Merry Christmas" to herself.
After all, it's still unwilling. She is unwilling to announce her feelings before she can express her feelings. She doesn't want him to start another relationship before he knows his feelings. Therefore, even though she will pretend to think that the person behind her back is Beicun, pretending nothing happened, she still chose to take off her mask and said "I like it" in Long'er's ear.
Yes, she always knew that it was Long'er who was carrying her in the snow, not Beicun.
And, she hopes, can always be Longer.
She got her wish. Long'er, who has always been lacking in strength, finally heard the secret rivalry of the girls, and one day after witnessing Dahe's self-deception to cover up himself, he was forced to admit himself. Dahe, who fled in a hurry with emotion, resolutely chased out. At that time, there was no hesitation on his face.
As a work by a young girl, this should be the best ending, right? I walked for a while stumbled and stumbled for a while, and walked for a while with sunshine, and walked for a while without honesty, and finally set foot on the train to find happiness together. . At the dance of youth, they decorated the best days of their lives with masks and deceit. Lies are born for love, hesitancy is for love, magnanimity is lost for friendship, and truth is lost for happiness. But in the end, we still saw them taking off their masks, smiling genuinely in front of the camera, without any scruples or concealment.
Say goodbye to that beautiful masquerade.
