The Juvenile Pie and KPAX have a core point that is very similar, that is Telling a tragic story with a romantic way (telling a tragic story with a romantic way).
If you compare it, you can see that the tiger in the juvenile faction corresponds to the K-star. One is the animal nature in the mind of the Juvenile School, a creature derived from the instinct to survive. One is a K-star person born from a starry sky dream in his childhood after suffering a family tragedy. Both of these exist to protect the protagonist or for a romantic story. Just like a patient in the K star said to him: I have been waiting for someone for more than ten years, and they all said I was crazy. In fact, I think this is romance. Do you understand romance? It's like dancing in the moonlight!
The story stripped of the romantic skin, whether it is a boy or a K-star, it is cruel and tragic. In the Juvenile Pie, the Pie lost his family and had to survive on cannibalism. In the K star, the protagonist lost his love and children. After revenge, he chose to commit suicide. Instead of drowning himself, he created another self to escape suffering.
But we need romantic quilts, whether it is the protagonists or the fragile audiences, human beings need expectations for life. If all tragedies are as described in the Seven Deadly Sins, and this is just a world worth fighting for and not a beautiful world, then suffering is just suffering.
What is precious to mankind is that we are suffering, but are we willing to describe it in a beautiful way?
So, as long as you believe, KPAX exists. As long as you believe, the tiger named Richard Parker exists~ May we all have a romantic heart. [Rose]
