Now the English title of "Hyouka" is "The niece of time".

1) アニメの影響 / Animation Effect on Me
その間に、私はアニメの方を見てしまいましたので、本を読んでいる間に、登場人物の声が頭の中に聞こえていました。
そのうえ、時として、アニメの場面さえ浮かび、自分の妄想を自分の手で払いのけたくなるくらい、鬱陶しいかぎりでした。
この現象は、私にとっては好ましくないので、アニメを先に見てしまったことを
後悔。
そう、アニメが悪いわけではなく、順番を間違えた私が悪かったのです。
中村氏は
"君に届け"の'真田 龍'、
"世界一初恋"の'羽鳥 芳雪'、
"しろくまカフェ"の'グリズリー'
など、私の好きなキャラクターを担当しているので、悪い印象がないのかもしれません。
まあ、それでも、最初に本を読む時は、声質が洗脳されていない状態の方が良いでしょうね。

Animation Effect on Me
I reserved this book about three months ago, finally I have got it!
Before the book arrived, I watched the animation of "Hyouka, " so while I read it
I could not stop listening to the characters's voices in my head.
Moreover, sometimes I had got the animation scenes in my head, I wanted to forget them.
I really regretted watching the animation before reading the original book.
Oh! Yes! I do not think the animation is bad, I think my sequence is wrong.
The voice of the main character, Houtaro Oriki is played by
Yuichi Nakamura, I do not mind his voce.
He acted in other animated characters, for example,
'Ryu Sanada' in "Kimini Todoke : Please reach!",
'Yoshiyuki Hatori' in "Sakaiichi Hatsukoi : Greatest First Love"
'Grizzly' in "Shirokuma Cafe: Polar Bear's Cafe."
I like the characters so I might not have negative feelings about the voice.
Well, anyway, it is the best that I first read a book, I should not be brainwashed about characters by the sound of voice.
2) 本の『氷菓』 / The Original Book
アニメの悪影響はありましたが、『氷菓』は、思ったよりも、おもしろく、楽しく読ませていただきました。
この本は、"古典部シリーズ"の１話であり、
第5回角川学園小説大賞ヤングミステリー&ホラー部門奨励賞受賞作(2001)でもあり、作者のデビュー作であります。
私は、『氷菓』を読んでいて、ちょっと古めかしい、ノスタルジックな雰囲気を感じました。
高校生で、ものぐさな主人公、折木奉太郎が姉の勧めで古典部に入ります。
古典部の仲間とともに、または、仲間のために、他愛無い謎ときをします。
この本では古典部の文集『氷菓』にまつわる謎ときが主軸となります。
省エネ気質の主人公の名前が奉仕の奉を使用して、'奉太郎'。
その気もないのに、何故だか、結局、奉仕労働、奉仕頭脳労働をしてしまう.....
ホウタロウというひびきも、ふらふらしている印象で、良いですね。
他にもたくさん、言葉遊びがあって、『氷菓』のオチも言葉遊び。
ただ、'氷菓のタネアカシ'については、かなり初期の段階で気がついてしまったので、その驚きはありませんでした。
アイスクリーム
ユースクリーム
好きよ！
というのがあるのです。
その歌の題名さえも、忘れてしまっていますし、他の部分は全く覚えていません。
にもかかわらず、この部分だけ鮮明に記憶にあったので、
'氷菓のタネアカシ'に大変役立ってしまったのでした。
'氷菓のタネアカシ'に大変役立ってしまったのでした。
(因に、
1)榊原郁恵さんは、ピーター•パンの舞台で有名だったと思います。
2)英国にも
I scream, You scream,
We all scream,
for Ice cream
という言葉遊びの歌があります。)
『氷菓』は、推理お遊びの本です。
軽さが故に人気があるように思います。
推理小説とは、結局、推理ゲームなので、遊びの感覚が大切なのかもしれません。
この作家は、自分自身も遊び心を忘れずに創作しているように思いますから、推理小説はあっているように思います。
推理小説を真っ正面から書いている方からすれば、『氷菓』は
その領域にも入らないお遊び小説かもしれません。
ですが、そのお遊び感覚が多くの人に好かれているのですよね。
The Original Book
Although the animation distracted me, I still felt the book was interesting and
I enjoyed reading it more than I thought.
I enjoyed reading it more than I thought.
"HYOUKA" is the first book of the series "Classic Japanese Literature Club", it was awarded the fifth Kadokawa Gakuen Prize for Young Mystery and Horror, Prize of Encouragement (2001) and it was the first novel by Honobu Yonezawa.
While I read "HYOUKA" I felt the atmosphere is a little bit quaint and nostalgic.
While I read "HYOUKA" I felt the atmosphere is a little bit quaint and nostalgic.
Somehow it reminds me of Natsume Souseki's "Botchan," although
I wonder why, given that the main characters' personalities are quite different.
I wonder why, given that the main characters' personalities are quite different.
The main character Houtaro Oriki is a high-school student, who does not have any motivation for anything, although he did join a 'Classic Japanese Literature Club' on his elder sister's recommendation.
He has succeeded in solving everyday puzzles, with, or for, other club members.
In the book, there is a central riddle about "HYOUKA", which is a collection of compositions by Classic Japanese Literature Club members.
Houtaro's personality is lazy, which means if he does not have to do something,
he would not do it, and if he must do something, he would do it the shortest possible way.
he would not do it, and if he must do something, he would do it the shortest possible way.
However, in his name 'Houtaro' : '奉太郎' , 奉 means volunteer or service, in Japanese.
Then although he would prefer not to do something, somehow he could be
a volunteer or helper after all.
Moreover, the sound of his name is easy going, it is fine for me!
There are many word plays and he solution to the central riddle of "HYOUKA" is another play on words.
However, I realized the secret of "HYOUKA" soon after beginning, so I could not have enjoyable amazement about it.
Ikue Sakakibara (1956~) was a singer and an actress.
One of her song has the words below,
I scream (I SUKURIMU ; ICE CREAM)
You scream (YU SUKURIUM)
Sukiyo (I LIKE YOU)
(They are Japanese word game, so it is difficult in English. )
(They are Japanese word game, so it is difficult in English. )
I forgot the title of the song and any other words, I only remember these words clearly, which worked well in the disclosure of the secret of 'Hyouka.'
(By the way, she played Peter Pan which was very popular. )
This book is a playful mystery.
I think the light taste might be popular.
The mystery novel is a guessing game, so it is important that it is playful.
I feel the author enjoyed making the story with a playful mind, so he suits mystery.
However, I like "Oreta Ryukotsu : The Broken Keel" much more than this book and
I guess he wrote "Oreta Ryukotsu" a little more seriously than this book.
I wrote about another of Honobu Yonezawa's books "Oreta Ryukotsu : The Broken Keel."
