西瓜は幼い頃から大好物であります
「歌男と詩人ケン」を読み終えたばかりで
一句詠みたくなってしまいました
It's Japanese poem of thirty-one syllables.
This name is Tanka(short poem) in Japanese.
Above Tanka, I express that
The color of watermelon, Red and Black,
is shining more than usual,
it seems to tell me that
this summer is close to an end.
My most favorite food is watermelon.
Now I have just finished reading the book,
"Utaotoko to SijinKen(A Tanka'sPoemer & Poemer Ken)"
I felt like writing something, so I composed above one.
業田先生の代表作に「自虐の詩」（上下巻）があります
４コマにもかかわらず、主役、幸江の旦那の傍若無人っぷりに
上巻を読み切るだけで数日かかりました
なのに、なぜ下巻を読んだか
それは上下巻を一気に買ってしまったからです
そして下巻、幸江さんの過去が描かれているのですが
３０分くらいで読んでしまいました
読み終えると、不思議なことに、どんな境遇であれ、
幸江さんは幸せであるような気がしてくるんです
ハッピーエンドかどうかもわからないのに
登場人物が周りに翻弄されない、不思議な力を
持っているんでしょうね
その世界に魅入られて、こちらも読んでます
「詩人になりたい男」と「恋をして短歌を創る男」
登場人物はまたまたいい加減な奴らっぽいですが
脇役に至るまで、ドラマを感じます
Mr. Goda's other famous cartoon is "Jigyaku no Uta"
This story has two volumes.
(Jigyaku means masochistic, Uta is poem,
but I think that this word means a story)
Though this book is four-panel comic,
I've finished reading only the first volume for a few days.
Because the husband of main character "Yukie" is so outrageous.
Why can I go on reading the second volume?
The reason is I took it when I bought the first one with.
The second one has the past career of Yukie.
I've finished only 30 minutes.
After reading, I found that Yukie seemed to be happy.
However severe her life is.
Even if I don't know this story has happy ending.
I'm sure that this characters have energetic power.
It isn't reduced by environmental condition.
This is why, I'm also reading another book by Mr. Goda.
It represents "A man wanting to be a poemer" and
"A man falling love then composing Tanka"
They look like irresponsible men,
but you can find them and minor parts dramatic.
