This morning, I've read Kazumi Saeki's public journal "The journal of Wheat [麦の日記帖 震災のあとさき 2010-2018]" completely. This book certainly delivers this author's honest/sincere attitude and style. It has been written from 2010 to 2018, and also it contains the Great East Japan Earthquake. However, Saeki hasn't lost his way to go to write his own literature creating. His diligent attitude is really trustable.
As this journal has taught me, I have to keep a thanksgiving for this peaceful life in my mind because that peace can be destroyed by various accidents so easily. Especially, this month March is the one which has been connected with the huge earthquake's memories (as I have mentioned above.) But, Saeki won't give up the hope toward tomorrow. He keeps on his steady progressing with his straight, graceful style.
As you see, I've also been writing the journal of mine every day. Why am I writing this? I can't say surely, but when I had thought what I would share with my friends, I decided to start this trial because that was only one content I could do. Now, I'm finding that so many readers feel something entertaining with my writings, so I'm glad about that.
This afternoon, a sudden sad news arrived - a great Japanese manga artist, Akira Toriyama passed away. Oh no... Indeed, I have rarely read manga. Once, when I was young and stupid, I couldn't understand why people could enjoy manga because I had thought they must be silly. But now, I respect manga as a marvelous form of entertainment.
On Discord and MeWe, this sudden sad news surprised many users - they dedicate their honest greeting to Toriyama. TBH, I have to accept that I have never read Dragon Ball completely. But even for me, his illustrations and skill of storytelling is really marvelous. I respect him as one of the greatest dream weavers in our modern time. Now, his works go deliver entertainment beyond the walls of languages, the borders, the distance beyond seas. Oh, what an incredible power. I say - Rest In Peace, Mr. Toriyama sensei. And, thank you so much!
