Always a pleasure to read about the supernatural tales that Lady Ah Jin listens to. She doesn't judge the verity of whether it happened, but listens without judgement. To the speaker of the tale, that is the version of the truth, which they truly experienced.
.
She then makes her own judgement after the event, and relates to her own life experiences. It's a journey of growth.
.
The tales, while scary, involves Yokai, ghosts, and demons. But there is always a human side to it, always an explanation for why something has happened. It's not so much for the shock factor, but rather a melancholy tale of life's struggles, regrets, grievances, injustice.

三島屋系列一出來就是要趕快買來看
這次的編排跟前面三本不太一樣,增加了插圖,然後宮部系列特有的黑底分章篇名頁不見了
在書店剛拿起來快速翻動時嚇了一跳,還以為是長篇

從第三本<哭泣童子>開始,其實好像就已經有點偏離當初的「預計奇數冊走較驚悚路線(如《怪談》)、偶數冊走療癒溫馨路線(如《暗獸》)」

沒關係呀,只要是宮部大神寫的故事就算再黑暗,默默地還是會覺得能看到這樣的故事,值得了

這次最喜歡的是第二篇〈食客饑神〉,真的好可愛,看的時候止不住的暖意跟笑意,當然還有無法止歇的肚子裡的咕嚕聲,看起來真的是太好吃了,不考慮發展美食小說系列嗎,大神

噢、對!說到美食,這次裡面增加了新角色,還是時下風行的甜食男子!
懷著這些感動,期待第五集上市那天

勘一露出木頭人般的笑臉。
「我想向小姐推薦幾本書。」
接著,他滔滔不絕開始介紹。
「生人說的故事有血有肉,特別有趣。不過,正因是生的,難免會食物中毒。比方這次美仙屋的故事,在下認為小姐中毒了。」
不過,換成是書籍……
「由於脫離生人許久,早就乾枯。即使吃錯,也不會食物中毒,或造成危害。不僅適合用來抒發鬱悶,若能透過書籍增加知識,還能壯膽,不容易為故事中毒,可謂一舉兩得。不不不,在下並非是想推銷生意,而是書籍真的功效卓越……」

今回は、本編よりも、おちかの身に起きる小さい事の方が読んでいて面白かった。
正直、本編の物語は、新鮮味がないような気がしてしまい、読んでいる途中で飽きてしまった(なので、せっかく作者が細かく色々時代背景や町の様子などを説明しているのに、そこは斜め読みで、本筋に関係のある所だけ読んでいた)

宮部みゆきの江戸時代が舞台の他の本でも思ったが、今回も読んでいて思ったのは、メインの登場人物になる男性キャラは、マッチョな「男らしい男」じゃなく、どちらかというと周りに舐められるタイプだけど、怒ったせず静かに、優しく周りを観察しているし、観察眼が鋭いタイプだ。著者の好みだろうか。私も好みだ。
こういうタイプの方が、力で無理やり解決しようとする(偏見?)マッチョタイプよりは物語の組み込みやすいし。



おちかの今後を知るために、5巻も借りてこよう。
