This is a third comic book I read by a Japanese author this year (the other two were Little Forest and Gabocha to Mayonnaise), and all of them have this in common: there is no dramatic story arc and can come across as flat, but, the chapters are sparse and simple, reminding me to appreciate the mundane.
Masuda Miri portrays three friends in their mid 30’s, enjoying slow living after one of them moves to the countryside. The other two live in the city but often visit.
The strips are a description of what is’s like to be a thirysomething woman living in contemporary Japan. They capture subtle joys of discovering plants and birds in the woods, dealing with annoying colleagues when back in the city, and experiencing these things in the presence of friends.
What I like about the book is that it doesn’t tell you what to do, or leave with some big lesson. Rather, it accepts the small ups and downs of everyday life while distilling some of the scenes into wisdom.

주말에 약속이 없으면 도통 집밖으로 나가지 않는 편이라 이 책을 읽으면 몸을 움직일만한 동기를 찾을 수 있지 않을까하는 기대로 읽게 된 책이다. 결론은 싱가포르에 숲이 없어서 책 속의 주인공들처럼 자연의 미묘한 변화와 신비로움을 만끽할 수 없으므로, 이 책을 읽었다 해서 주말에 자연을 체험하진 않을 거라는 변명을 들겠다. 하지만 한 가지 느낀 건 내 안과 주변에서 맞닥뜨리게 되고 발견하게 되는 크고 작은 생각들과 그 순간들을 지나치지 말아야겠다는 것이었다. 그래서 이 책을 읽은 계기로 미루고 미루었던 블로그를 다시 하려고 한다. 그게 나에겐 생각의 정리와 확장, 표현과 공유의 창이 되므로. 주말엔 창의적인 일을!
