Reviews for Apple Children of Aeon Manga

This review contains spoilers. When I started reading it, from the simple illustrations and atmosphere, I thought it was a relaxing comic where a couple who got married without love because their mutual interests coincided, and gradually nurture love through apple cultivation and their busy yet peaceful daily lives, so when Yukinojo started to have a disturbing atmosphere all at once due to breaking the taboo in Apple Village, it unfolded so unexpectedly that I was thrilled. Then, I felt an indescribable sense of frustration that this itself was caused by the actions Yukinojo, who knew nothing, took for his wife. I've only read volume 1 yet, but I can't help but be worried about the fate of this couple. Yukinojo, who has given up until now and has lived a life where he continues to run away, has made up his mind to face his fate and fight for the first time, so as a reader, I have no choice but to believe and support him. I hope it will be a saving ending...

This review contains spoilers. I bought the last volume, which I had always wanted to read, and read it a lot. There are various old-fashioned customs and customs, and I was very moved by the fact that they wrapped it up in a fantasy mixed with sadness, such as believing, doubting, running away, and accepting, and whether it was necessary until now and in the future to catch up with that event in various interpretations... It was very good.

This review contains spoilers. There are 3 volumes in total, but they are quite deep and the story is solid. It's a story where the son-in-law of another person, whose wife was taken by God due to human sacrifice, fights hard, but it's so profound that I can't fully describe it in one word. The first people to confront are not villagers who adhere to custom... and the fact that the god itself is invisible is very interesting, frighteningly grand. It's also interesting that the villagers rather cut off that ceremony with their own hands. Even so, the villagers who grew up as “apple children” relentlessly believed, awe, and gave up on the god of the earth. Yukinojo is furious about why he takes it from people who are just working hard, and how is that different from a curse. Various emotions were intricately and carefully woven into it, and it was very profound. The scene where Asahi, who had quietly enlightened everything, and muttered only one word and was scared in a small way... wow!! I couldn't help but be drawn into that silence. It was a work where I could fully feel “there is a wonder why” which cannot be felt in modern urban life where people live surrounded by asphalt and man-made objects. It's sad, heavy, and painful. But it's a must read. Obosuna-sama is so infuriating that she targets children so much that she says if the wife doesn't move on, she'll get a child.

This review contains spoilers. I'm buying an artist! I am always fascinated by the author's imaginative view of the world. Asahi grew up with Yukinojo and apples, who don't know his parents, who have joined an apple farmer in the north. The two who became a married couple are desperately trying to resist fate... I was so sad to see Yukinojo, who had been swept away without a will until now, feeling love for the Asahi for the first time and having desire, that I burst into tears. I wanted to see the two of them happy spending time together all the time. It makes me cry, good work!

This review contains spoilers. I finally read it. There are lots of reviews saying that you should read up to 3 volumes... I was really stupid for stopping by trial readings over and over again. It's not about a friendly couple who are apple farmers... A husband who doesn't know his parents, as described in the synopsis. My wife grew up with apples. Maybe I don't need any further explanation to talk about the two. It wasn't a marriage where there was love. But before I knew it, how did the two become such a strong couple... I want you to read volume 1 first. There are spoilers below. (Just ruminating on good things) Yukinojo has broken the taboos of the gods rooted in that land. fantasy? ... well, maybe it's just the atmosphere of the Showa countryside about 50 years ago and the harsh winters in the northern part of the country, and the dark, closed image that makes you think so. Like Yukinojo, you will continue reading without being able to wipe away the feeling that there is such a thing... ... this story is unmistakably fantasy. I'm surprised by that because I'm already immersed in the story. There is nothing humans can do in front of nature that is too big. I can't resist it because I don't just take it away; it's because I feel that I'm living with so many benefits. This couple is the kind of opponent Yukinojo is trying to fight against. Because of his upbringing as an abandoned child, this is the first battle of a man who is good at making up and laughing and has lived only thinking about being at ease. I wonder if what changed was the unadorned words of the rising sun, or that wahaha smile. When I think back to it, I feel like all the episodes from volume 1 are being led to a single ending by something. So I can't help but love these casual moments between the two of them. It's a strange feeling that no matter how you resist, you'll advance to the ending. I think it's the last one where everyone who reads it has a different impression. I thought it was definitely not a bad end; it was a lonely but happy way to end. Asahi, who wasn't helpless, saved Yukinojo from the loneliness he was born with. That's because I stopped thinking that being born alone was my fate. I was shaken by the couple's strong love. The fear I feel from this entire work is a fear that everyone has felt, a sense of awe in front of nature. I felt it realistically. I live in the countryside, so maybe it's superfluous. However, the ability for humans to think of those they love was not lost either. In order to protect someone and live in that land, I guess that's why there are indigenous beliefs now. Yes, I cried out loud. A very powerful work! I'm really glad we met!! I am grateful to Professor Tanaka.

This review contains spoilers. I read it all at once. It's a work I'm glad I came across and read it. God gives blessings, but he also demands sacrifices... I know it. That's why I don't want to make a request. God is also called a “curse god,” which means he was feared. People who have connected their lives to that land from their ancestors, and the custom of sacrifice has been passed on by begging for protection in order for people to live in the face of harsh nature. What was visible where the protagonist stood up for the precious wife he wanted to protect in the midst of being difficult to resist was something that the two of them made up their mind and accepted it, even though it was a cruel result. It's not just a happy ending. However, I took it as a reader that this was probably the only one with a fresh expression.

This review contains spoilers. It was a pure love comic that was very easy to read. I was reading it while thinking that I probably didn't understand the merits even if I read it when I was in high school. The pure love between the main character and the heroine was lovely and sad.

This review contains spoilers. It was an unimaginable development from the heartwarming cover and beginning. The pictures and settings are simple and easy to read. Asahi will die at the end, but I wonder if this is the best. Whether it's snow, the rising sun, the bad ending where the kids die, or a happy ending where everyone is saved with a kettle, I think it's something different. There are also people who write nonsense, but I don't understand it if it's a serious Tsugaru dialect used by old people, and if you put in a translation, it just ruins the atmosphere, so I think this is just about enough. It's a short comic with 3 volumes completed, and I would recommend it to others.

This review contains spoilers. A work from about 8 years ago. When the last volume was published, I remember crying in the middle of the night after I finished reading it. Right now, I was listening to the Weathering Child soundtrack and suddenly remembered it, so I'm going to review it. I want people who like the movies “The Weather Boy” and “Your Name” to read it. Director Shinkai also mentioned this film in a magazine interview. A story about a couple who are caught up in Japanese gods and customs and try to escape against fate. The theme and ending are like the reverse version of “The Weather Child.” As was mentioned in the movie, the indigenous gods of Japan are ruthless and violent gods, and they require sacrifices. I don't want spoilers as much as possible, so I can't write it, but I cried at the choices they made in an extreme situation where there was nothing they could do. Every time I come across such an inspiring work, I really want to be grateful that I was able to read it alive.

This review contains spoilers. When I looked at the reviews that were lower, they were written as “not a happy ending,” and as someone who emphasizes how to end, I was at a loss, but I was worried about the continuation no matter what, so I bought it. I'm glad I bought it...! There are also sad and sad parts, but I felt that the ice in Yukinojo's heart, which I had been holding for a long time, melted at the end, and it was a very nice way to end that seemed like a happy ending to me. I can cry even more in the extra section!!

This review contains spoilers. It's one of the works I can't forget even though I've read it in the past few years. A story about human love and unseen power (God). I think it will be particularly appealing to those who are interested in folklore and secret festivals. As Yukinojo gradually became aware of his love for Asahi, it was heartbreaking that so much power stood in his way. Even so, I can't give up on my loved ones, and I'm prepared for misery, and my body and will go straight to action. I felt that depiction was realistic. Since it depicts the Showa region, I felt that the sense of distance and temperature differences between the local people was more realistic. It was a fierce end, but I wonder if it was a better end... Personally, I like demons and gods, and I'm in awe of them because they are both a disaster and a blessing, and I'm always in awe that they are just there naturally. “We are living in a fire of blessings that cannot be redeemed.” Hellfire of blessings... I thought that was an amazing expression. What is Yukinojo's painful love that he still tried to resist. It makes me cry when I think about it.
