Reviews for THE SCENE OF MY RUMSPRINGA Manga

This review contains spoilers. Christian life called Amish. Smartphones, appliances, and even books can't read anything other than the Bible! I was surprised. After spending time outside during the Lamspringa season, I lived in the Amish for the rest of my life. Once you leave, you'll never go back. The last thing I chose was... I want to pray that Theo, who met Oz, will live a happy life no matter where he goes.

This review contains spoilers. Amish Theo meets Oz at a bar while living away from an Amish called Ramspringa. Theo takes everything straight and doesn't know how dirty an angel is. Oz, on the other hand, is frustrated as a dancer, and while working in a bar, he also works as a male prostitute. My best friend Danny, who is worried about Theo, comes to pick him up, and Oz decides to go to Theo's hometown too. The story, the Amish lifestyle, and the discriminating townspeople all seemed to be watching a movie. Gene's younger brother from “Dear Gene” was Theo, wasn't he? They were both engaging stories. May the future be rich for both of them.

This review contains spoilers. Let me start by saying that it's a pretty big story (fiction). I read it with tears in one hand of a bath towel, the sense of excitement of the process of deepening love after falling in love, impressive, lacrimal gland collapse, and the feeling of excitement of the process of deepening love. What bothered me was that the author says happy in the afterword, so that might be the case if you just look at it as a story... it didn't seem that easy to me. I first learned from this work that people called Amish actually exist, so I did a little research. Also, it hasn't been investigated to my satisfaction, but as an irreligious person, there is no doubt that acts against God are cruel to them... far beyond imagination. It seems that Amish education lasts 8 years, and only the minimum necessary education is taken. The income from work is also minimal, and they don't ask for much. Also, in the scene where Oz sells his body, they said it was 35 dollars, but when converted to yen, it was about 4000 yen or less (the yen conversion at the time is unknown), and if Theo, who says he doesn't have that much, only drank alcohol at the time, would it be better if he had 10 dollars? Guess something like that. When I left my hometown with Oz in the final scene, when I left without getting ready, I really left my hometown alone with nothing. I'm sure they didn't even have 10 dollars on hand... Originally, as an Amish lifestyle, they probably don't save more than necessary... when you think that young people who leave without being baptized have no money or knowledge, and they all have to jump into a world they don't know. This is a time when everyone is still desperate to live. They are isolated from the house they return to, and there is no means of communication. In the final scene, Theo wasn't crying, but he wasn't laughing either. this is my last youth... Trevor was talking about his re-baptism in the “Dear Gene” section later, and it seemed like that saved my feelings a little bit... I hope the two of them can overcome the various trials and tribulations that lie ahead together.

This review contains spoilers. Unfortunately, I've known about the Amish for quite some time. (First, John Book. Next is Al Yankovic. I was doing patchwork, so it was an Amish quilt.) I was quite shocked, partly because I was still young when I learned about that culture and precepts. Why do most young people choose to live as Amish when choosing Lamb Springa, which is the mountain of this work? I remember it wasn't surprising. If I had been able to read this work without knowing it, I would surely have been shocked and moved quite a bit. The leading roles are the picture-perfect Amish young man (20 years old) and a dancer from New York who has broken his dreams and is struggling. This contrast, which is easy to understand yet produces dramas, enhances entertainment. I felt the enthusiasm of the author who wanted to draw in a dramatic way. What stuck in my mind the most was the phrase “wonderful curse.” Chloe is referring to love, and this stuck in my heart deeply because the Amish took it as a phrase about all of Amish life. I thought that my home... my hometown was nothing but a wonderful curse for children who didn't touch the outside world at all until age 16 and only knew how to keep the precepts. Eligibility to be called to heaven in Christianity is not a good act; it depends on how religious you are. Even if you're a good person, you can't get in without faith. What's more, in the case of the Amish, leaving the community is synonymous with abandoning one's faith. So Theo's resolution included not only permanent banishment, but also his absolute descent into hell as a Christian. I'm an irreligious person, so I can't imagine how much suffering it would be, but I understand that the strength of Theo's feelings is extraordinary. Well, the two left hand in hand, but the time was the 1980s, and it was about time that the heterogeneity of the Amish was widely conveyed domestically. It makes me hope that Theo can enjoy life in the city while showing hurt and anger. I also remember that 80% of sexual abuse by priests that recently became news was for boys aged 10 to 13, and the masculine act where Danny shouted that he was hurt was an indescribable feeling. I've only written unnecessary things, but I would like to pay a sincere compliment to the author who drew such a dramatic BL about the Amish, which is pretty close to taboo.
