Alright, let me tell ya ’bout this “after we gazed at the starry sky volume 3” thing. It’s a book, ya know? A comic book, like them things the young’uns read. This one’s the last one, they say. Volume 3, the end of the story.
So, there’s this fella, Subaru Miyazawa. Poor thing’s stuck in a wheelchair. Can’t walk, ya see. But he’s a smart one, real clever with the drawin’ and such. He made this brochure thing, a pretty picture book for a star-lookin’ place, a planetarium they call it.
- Subaru Miyazawa: The fella in the wheelchair.
- Togo Awase: Another fella, seems nice enough.
- Planetarium: A place where ya look at stars. Not the real ones, mind ya, but pictures of ’em.
So, Subaru, he goes to this planetarium after he’s done with his drawin’ job. And wouldn’t ya know it, he bumps into this other fella, Togo Awase. Just like that, boom! They meet. Now, Subaru, he’s all flustered, nervous as a hen in a fox den. But Togo, he’s cool as a cucumber. And sweet too, real sweet, like a ripe melon on a hot summer day.
This whole story, it’s one of them “Shounen ai” or “Yaoi” things. Don’t ask me what that means, I ain’t got a clue. But it’s about these two fellas, Subaru and Togo. And it’s all about how they get to know each other, I reckon. After We Gazed at the Starry Sky, that’s what they call it. Like lookin’ at stars brings ’em together or somethin’.
I heard tell that this Kida Bisco person, that’s who wrote this here story, they’re done with it now. This Volume 3, it’s the end. No more star gazin’ for Subaru and Togo, I guess. Makes ya wonder what happens to ’em, don’t it? Did they get hitched? Did they move to the country and raise chickens? I tell ya, these young folks and their stories, they keep ya guessin’.
Now, I ain’t read the whole thing myself. My eyes ain’t what they used to be, and all them little pictures and words, they make my head spin. But from what I gather, it’s a sweet story. About two fellas findin’ each other, even when life ain’t easy. And that Subaru, bless his heart, he don’t let that wheelchair stop him. He goes out, he draws his pictures, he looks at the stars. He’s got spirit, that one.
And Togo, he sounds like a good egg. Patient, kind. The kind of fella ya want around when things get tough. He don’t judge Subaru for bein’ in a wheelchair. He sees him for who he is. And that’s a good thing, ain’t it? We all need someone to see us for who we are, not what we can’t do.
So, there ya have it. After We Gazed at the Starry Sky Volume 3. The end of the story. If you like them comic books, and if you like stories about fellas findin’ love, then maybe this is for you. Me, I’ll stick to my stories on the TV. Less readin’ involved. But hey, different strokes for different folks, right?
This whole thing about star gazing, it reminds me of when I was a young’un. We didn’t have no planetariums back then. We just went outside, laid on a blanket, and looked up at the real stars. Millions of ’em, twinklin’ like diamonds. It was somethin’ else, I tell ya. Made ya feel small, but in a good way. Like you was part of somethin’ bigger than yourself.
Maybe that’s what Subaru and Togo felt when they gazed at the starry sky. Maybe that’s what brought ’em together. Who knows? But it makes for a nice story, don’t it? A story about love, and hope, and findin’ your place in the world, even if you’re stuck in a wheelchair. And that’s a story worth tellin’, I reckon.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a new comic book to read, and you don’t mind a little bit of this “Shounen ai” stuff, then give After We Gazed at the Starry Sky a try. And if ya don’t like it, well, ya can always go outside and look at the real stars. They’re still up there, ya know. Just waitin’ for ya.
Now, I’m gonna go make myself a cup of tea. All this talkin’ about stars and comic books has made me thirsty. You young’uns have a good day now, ya hear?
