Star Cream White Plum

I'm ashamed to say that, for me, who didn't read the original manga to understand kensin, what I got was definitely a deviation from the original intention of the original author. However, I can also see it according to the plot structure of the author's comics. Kyoto chapter to 60, then reminiscence, and finally Star Cream. So let me express my thoughts first, because even so, I was still shocked.

After watching the first 60 episodes of the Kyoto chapter, Memories and Xingshuang, the [in memories] and Xingshuang's [regret] have been lingering in my mind. As far as music is concerned, I like Xingshuang's OST, the layout of the piano, the rendering of the flute, and the promotion of the strings, just like life. In the end, you should regret it.

In fact, after reading it, my first impression was not the fanatical pursuit of this work as many people did. On the contrary, I just felt regret, of course not for this work. Rather, it is the life of a Restoration executioner, a story at the beginning of the Meiji Restoration. It is possible to draw so that people are sometimes excited, excited, and sometimes stunned and touched. A great work does not lie in how much story content it has, or how much value it can use, but in that it unearths some of the essence of human existence in this world. Whether it is an eternally dark hell or a seemingly happy paradise, as long as there is the brilliance of human nature, human beings have the meaning of their existence. No, it should be said that as long as there is any brilliance of nature, the world has its own meaning.

All stories seem to be far away from life, far out of reach, as if they will never encounter them. As everyone knows, it is actually quietly staged around you, in everyone, living people, people who really exist, exist to prove their existence, and exist to have the simplest idea of ​​"wanting to live". people. And insist on doing this all the time, insisting that it is not an easy thing to do, it must not be underestimated, yes, it is indeed.

Sakura
The existence of Xiaoxun is really like cherry blossoms. She is cute, lively, and kind. There is no difference between the heroines in most other works, but she is still so lovable. It seems that liking has something in common. In fact, I have always been a little confused about what kind of feelings Jianxin has for Xiaoxun. I even sometimes feel that Jianxin just regards Xiaoxun as a relative, but I can't bear to say that Jianxin doesn't like Xiaoxun. Because Kaoru's naive remarks about swordsmanship are exactly what Kenshin hoped to be after he gave up the swordsmanship. When I saw Kazuyuki Sama talking about this work, he said that he wanted to end a short story in 30 chapters, but he didn't expect it to be serialized to 28 volumes. So at the beginning, the encounter between Xiaoxun and Kenshin was probably just an empty encounter by the author in order to continue the story. So there is the following plot, so the shounen manga can be unfolded. In the reminiscence chapter after the end of the mortal execution, before the mortal execution of the Yukinoka begins, Kaoru tells Kenshin that he hopes to be together forever, and Kenshin says that he is the most vagrant, but in front of Kaoru he says "I'm back" and then Take her shoulders and go back together. Mr. Heyue doesn't seem to write very clearly, because if you write too many comics for juveniles, it is not suspected of shoujo manga. In fact, Mrs. Heyue herself likes shoujo manga, so that she is in the later chapter of Man Punishment. It was not his original intention to kill Xiao Xunhua and then have to change the ending under the protest of a large number of rice balls. But then again, who likes tragedy? Just like Kenshin, everyone wants to see Kaoru Dono's smile.
Bai Mei
's reminiscence about Ba is very beautiful, a kind of alternative violent aesthetics. The combination of Baimei and the sea of ​​blood is very touching, the inner struggle and the mission of the times, the helpless fate is sad. Because helplessness is the saddest thing. The entanglements between Ba, Kenshin, and Kiyosato did not change the changes of this era. I think a large part of the success of the memoirs lies in the background of the whole era. If it weren't for that era, stories like this would at most be said to be a boring thing for lovers. It was precisely because of that turbulent age that everything was legendary and out of the ordinary. People are curious, and of course they prefer to be curious. The combination of blood and white plum just caters to such curiosity, making people feel the helplessness and sadness behind the memory.
In fact, I don't understand why the BMG at the end of the Star Frost chapter was named [regret]. Could it be that when the last cross wounds disappeared, Kenshin was still regretting the story he recalled. In that case, wouldn't Kaoru? So pitiful. But maybe not, maybe he was regretting that if he hadn't killed Kiyosato, there wouldn't be that memory, and he wouldn't have to bear the cross wound until he died. Or maybe he was carrying a cross wound to combine with Kaoru, but left a place for someone else in the deepest part of his heart. But no matter what, this is a life, good or bad, no one can guess. It's just that Kazuhiro Furuhashi gave him such an ending, and he was attacked by a group of rice balls. But the same reminiscence chapter is also his supervision. The same person gets two diametrically opposite evaluations. Maybe this is also life. Maybe when he was thinking about the ending of Xingshuang, he had already thought about it.

PS: The above text is too limited, because there is no Zuozhi, no Yahiko, and no Hui. Maybe there is too much talk about the three of them, and I don't need to bother about it again. But when [regret] and [in memories] came to mind, I couldn't help but say them again. When I started writing, my evaluation of [in memories] was not as high as [regret], but at the end I felt that [regret] was happy, and the real sadness was all condensed in [in memories], maybe it has become a memory , just like this. I don't know, but who knows.
