by The release of the long-awaited 3rd volume, “Onna no Sono no Hoshi,” is attracting a lot of attention. Teachers such as Hoshi and Kobayashi are beautiful daily lives naturally. Still, the presence of the unique high school girls who attend the “women’s garden” is also indispensable.
Many characters in the position of high school girls appear in stories, such as “Onna no Sono no Hoshi,” and many works depict their daily lives. However, how are high school girls and their daily lives described in each job? In this article, I would like to consider the above question while introducing some of the works that depict the daily lives of high school girls.
“Star of the Garden of Women”
“Onna no Sono Hoshi” has been featured in various media since its serialization in “FEEL YOUNG” (Shodensha) and continues to attract attention through social media posts and word of mouth. It is a work that depicts the daily life of teachers and female students in a girls’ school.
High school girls are drawn together with teachers with solid characters, such as Mr. Hoshi and Mr. Kobayashi chatting in the staff room, and the mysterious personal life of Mr. Nakamura, who has an adult atmosphere. Telling the polite Hoshi-sensei that she’s “too respectful,” naming her teacher’s dog Tapioca, and bringing a bazooka-shaped cracker into the staff room… High school girls with strong personalities who are as strong as their teachers will appear.
The attention to detail of these girls is also one of the charms of this work. For example, in “1st hour (episode 1)”, a female student, Kagawa-san, is shown lying down on her desk and sleeping, but her shoes and socks are about to come off. The depiction that you can feel the attention to detail will make you feel as if the high school girls full of humor exist in reality.
In this work, the “10th hour” is set in a classroom during self-study, depicting the moments spent by many female students. Taking advantage of the accessible environment, each of them behaves in their own way, making it an episode where you can feel the humor and realism of the high school girls in this work.
“Skip and Loafers”
“Skip and Loafers” was ranked 3rd in the “Manga Awards 2020” and, like “Onna no Sono no Hoshi,” was decided to be animated. Although the stage of this work is a coeducational high school, many female students who interact with the main character, high school girl Mitsumi Iwakura, appear.
Mitsumi, who moved to Tokyo from a rural town in Ishikawa Prefecture to enter high school, has a different relationship than when she was in junior high school, such as Sosuke Shima, a male student she met just before the start of the entrance ceremony, and Mika Egashira, who was in the same class. Building. It is a work that depicts how Mizumi and characters who have their feelings and values interact with each other and change while influencing each other.
Many characters appear in this work, such as Mizumi, who has excellent grades but is often idle, Mika, who has been worried about her relationships, and Tokiko Takamine, who worked hard on the student council but could not become the student council president. has a clumsy side as well as a charming side.
The part that becomes more complex than your charm is likely noticeable. The other characters undoubtedly notice the magic of the characters who are troubled by their clumsiness and convey that charm.
In a time when it is easy to worry about yourself, let each other know, help each other, and influence each other as you build up your days. I feel that their daily life is salvation for readers as well.
“Dead Dead Demons Dededede Destruction” (from now on, “Dededede”)
“Dededede,” whose final volume will be released in March 2022 and will be adapted into an anime along with the previous works. It is a sci-fi work that struggles to survive as the destruction of the earth approaches, but at the beginning of the story, high school girls Kadode Koyama and Oran Nakagawa spend a lot of their daily lives with their classmates.
Three years have passed since the catastrophe in which gigantic flying saucers and “invaders” suddenly attacked Tokyo, causing panic throughout Japan. Rice field. As high school girls, Koyama and the others struggle with love, hang out at friends’ houses, and spend their daily lives, not unlike the real world we live in.
However, in the background of the girls’ figures, there is a disc with a solemn atmosphere, and one can sense that the situation is such that another disaster could strike at any moment. From the middle of the story, the number of days until the destruction of the earth is written, emphasizing that their daily lives are finite. Therefore, their everyday daily life seems attractive as a temporary thing.
In addition to the works mentioned in this article, “Azumanga Daioh,” “Nichijou,” and “Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!” Daily life as a high school student is finite, not just Dededede. Many readers and writers may feel the value of high school life precisely because it is a three-year period that cannot be repeated.
