| its weird... by otakuness on August 30th, 2009, 11:23pm |
|
the ideas are like all scattered and i didnt catch the lesson that the mangaka was trying to state in the end...
somehow all the ideas didnt connect...
and btw...this is the closest to hentai that i'll ever go...
<update>
woooowww...
after reading HCB's comment...my thoughts on this changed it was kindda true that thwre was somethings that cant be seen if you only look on the surface...maybe i was just a bit shocked by it that i hurried to the end...but that said im upping my rating from 3 to 6!!

| the redundancy of the obsolete by jaggie on August 8th, 2009, 1:29pm |

Usually the one-shots are purely conceptual or the digging of a specific idea. This one-shot throws some cool ideas into the table such as the exploration of the hikkikomori phenomenon and the use of "luck" in decisive actions in your life but doesn't develop any of them. This wouldn't be critical if it were entertaining on its own which isn't the case if you count out the final twist.
The characters are invisible, the text is obsolete and the actions irrelevant.
I still don't understand the necessity of sex parts in "all" of its works that appear out of nothing, with no context at all, again, I wouldn't mind it were appropriate of central to the plot but it isn't.
With a title so promising of a critic to society, the futility of the information passed through tv or the dropped moral values of the oriental style of life and all you end up reading is a poor excuse for a one-shot.

| ......It was okay....... by Alannaeowyn on June 1st, 2009, 8:25pm |

| .......I was looking for something by Takeuchi Naoko.....and I ended up reading this....0.o I've read seinen one-shots I've liked better, but I think this had some quality. |

| My take on how it ended. by HCB on September 15th, 2008, 3:24pm |
|
Spoiler (highlight to view) I don't think that they both jumped. That panel that suggests that might be just the artist trying to screw with our minds.
I have this feeling that Mado Akeru was the one who won, and he was the one who jumped, which might have prompted the change in the girl (as shown by the clean apartment at the end, i.e. she cleaned up her act). Or maybe she moved out, and leaving the TV behind is just symbolism that ties in with the title.
His death might be enough to make her change for good as he was the only one who visited her without (seemingly) any ulterior motives, unlike the "crazy guy". |

| huh? by takitogr on July 10th, 2008, 9:49am |

i found it funny at some points but i can't say i understood the ending
OR /spoiler starts here/ it's the real obvious thing that they both jumped because they were frustrated with their lives...was that it? /spoiler ends/
it's not a waste of time though...i enjoyed it

| Yay, only comment. by EvilTomte on February 16th, 2007, 12:48pm |

This is very short. With the point being the title. It's just about this girl wasting her life in front of the TV. Kinda dull with the only point being just it, watching tv all the time makes you stupid.
Bleh
