Healed!What is Masuda Mirimi's thoughts in her manga "Snack Kizumi"?

A place like a bandage that heals small scratches.

The manga "Snack Kizunsuki" drawn by Masuda Mirimi released this year.It is a hot topic to carefully draw the frustration and frustration that falls into the heart, like dust every day, and wrap the heart that was a rash.We asked Mr. Masuda about the secret of healing.

"Snacks are a snack that can only be worn by those who are hurt. Even if your heart is hurt, there are big wounds like broken heart, and you may be hurt in casual conversations.Even if you know that you are not, a small wound hurts. In such a case, everyone may be scared. If you may be hurt by yourself. It may hurt or hurt.. In such an unstable everyday life, I wanted to draw a snack that I could drop in with me. Even if the problem does not solve it, I hope it will be like a bandage. "

Mr. Masuda's work is close to the emotions that she pretends to not see, but Snack Kizuki is also such a "place".And a variety of people come in age and position.

"I wondered what was hurt in everyday life? I thought that there were many times when I felt" lightly treated ". One of the characters, Nakata, who works at a call center.I'm. When she is eating with her boyfriend at a pub, she realizes that she is always asking her questions. I think it's okay to ask me, "Are you busy today?"Women with sales clerks are also greasy by customers, colleagues are good, and they always feel that they are losing.It is a human being. A variety of characters come to mind from the episodes that are lightly treated and hurt. "

Also, it is unique that it is a snack but does not have alcohol.

"Sato, a male employee who is working, has a constitution who can't drink alcohol. So, even at night when he wants to hear the story, he can't go drinking with his colleagues. I myself have gone to snacks. There are so many that the alcohol is not strong, but it is a place that is difficult to go alone. When I passed in front, I often imagine "What is this inside?" When I heard, I was relieved, "Oh, maybe there are some people who have forgotten the bad things and singing, I'm glad I was good." Maybe I had longed for snacks. Hmm"

Snacks that exist around us.

Snack Kizuki's mom is light, and at first glance it will be blurred.However, the sense of distance can be comfortable for those who are hurt.

"There are times when I want my friends to hear the complaints, but sometimes I hear that the wounds may spread. Mom does not ask the customers who have been hurt. But people. I thought it would be nice to be happy just because of the attitude of "I'm listening properly". "

Instead of asking such a question, you can sing and dance.The customer is confused at first, but she is taken in various actions and exhales her feelings and leaves the store as she is.

"Isn't there a song in the bathtub? I have it (laughs). I put a clause appropriately and like" Oh, I'm really tired. "I wanted people to be such a reason for the time being. Snacks can not be reached only by those who are hurt. Mom is also one of the wounds. That's why I get close to the injured person.I think it is. The hot cocoa served in the store is also kneaded with milk and made very carefully. If you receive the carefully made, you may feel that you are being treated carefully and you will be relieved.I thought while drawing "

Visiting snacks does not solve the problem.But the characters in the damaged chain called a thank -you call or brewed cocoa for the family.After coming to the store, the fact that the steps are lighter and the appearance of being able to care for someone also brightens the reader's heart.

"Even if one wound heals, new wounds can be done again. The characters will return to their original location, so they may not be able to escape from the injuries."It is good that they have done it. If there is something, there is a place where you can come here again. The railing for us in reality is not limited to" places "like snacks., Read books, watch movies and plays. I think it's all about it. "

What do you want to do?The viewpoint produces kindness.

While there are many people who are gradually being damaged by their hearts, how are Masuda being prepared?

"I'm confused by my first experience, but I've been reading overseas travel records recently. While reading, I'm free to stay in my heart.When I read "Kiwi Ookoro Study School" and went to bed, I had a dream of going to New Zealand. I was able to travel abroad that I didn't need airplanes (laughs). "

Masuda says that the important thing in communicating with people in a dangerous everyday life is to think about what you want to do.

"If you talk about your worries, you will want to give advice, but if you replace it with yourself, you may just want to listen. Anyway, I will listen to it. I wish I could do so." Listen to my feelings.He gave me me. I think that alone makes me feel better. "

Healing Point 1

He says "Thank you" without alcohol.

Snacks have a strong image of drinking alcohol, but there are no alcohol here."By doing so, I thought it would be nice to be a place where people who could not drink alcohol could be heard. Even a wounded young woman, a high school student, or a high school student can come to the store. Gender to hurt.The age doesn't matter, so I decided to draw various characters. "

Healing point 2

The comfort that can be exposed naturally.

Through an action that makes you think, "Why now!?""For that, it is important to be a mom, and I don't hesitate to sing or dance with customers." I will never laugh at you. "I wonder if a strong message is necessary. "
