Green story. Abandoned shrine gates, moss-grown steps, a dense forest of mountain gods, and a silver-haired boy wearing a fox mask.
It should be like this in summer, with fans blocking the noon sun, half asleep and half awake lying on the tatami in a small skirt, watermelons on the plate, and the tram rumbling, there is nothing special to do.
In fact, summer after summer, all they do is wander aimlessly in the forest to kill off the long and somewhat excessive summer vacation. The background is endless cicada chirping, the pond is full of round lotus leaves, But some time, isn't it just for wasting?
until they got used to each other.
When boys of the same age were still cautiously greeting Yingying, wasn't the hand pulled up under the pretext of Lu Slip, the same temptation as when Gin saw the girl who was lost and crying behind the tree.
This urge to get warmth from the other person and the urge to give the other person something is always repeated again and again.
But some people are special.
Firefly grew up too fast, small skirts, middle school uniforms, high school uniforms. On the other hand, Yin remained the same. He didn't talk much, walked silently, stopped because the butterfly landed on the nose of the mask, took off the mask and smiled in the sunshine.
If I want to see you not only in summer, but also in spring, autumn, and winter, I miss you.
Monsters in Japanese culture are always ambiguous. They are shy and timid and take pleasure in teasing humans. By the way, some of them love to eat people, but it seems that everyone is kind and curious about the human world. Then, Each one is lonely.
"Forest of Firefly" reminds me of an episode in "Natsume's Book of Friends" where a man loses the ability to see monsters as he grows up, thinking that his monster lover disappears because he hates him. And that monster, also called Firefly, gave up the right to immortality and turned into a firefly in order to let the man see him for the last time before his wedding.
"Forest of Firefly" seems to be a similar and somewhat regrettable little story. It is always the most beautiful when it falls and perishes like a cherry blossom at a speed of five centimeters per second.
——Good きだよ.
——わたしもよ.
Yukata and fireworks festivals, street lights and all kinds of booths, it seems that these are not enough, summer festivals, always add the girl's hidden thoughts to complete.
The story stops at the cherry blossom-colored yukata of a girl leaning over and crying in the navy blue yukata that flutters after the first and final hug, against the backdrop of the gleaming light as the silver disappears.
If the teenage summer is over, will you go out of the forest and step into a normal life, going to school, leaving school, graduating, working, going to work, leaving get off work, getting married, etc., and then gradually, gradually forgetting that in the forest wearing a dumbbell The immortal boy in the dumb fox mask.
So this can be considered a happy ending, and it suddenly ended in the most beautiful, best and most idle summer.
Isn't the so-called comics a cheating method to gain happiness?
But I still think this is the best summer ever.
Just like every shoujo manga has a less than perfect ending, the heroine will still smile and say "頑張ってください" with a tearful smile.
