A really terrible novelette
1/10/09 21:38I am not sure what 100 pages of a Japanese paperback is, but I'm going to say novelette.
Okay, so as I posted earlier, this is about Akane. Akane is in second grade and her home life is terrible: her mother and father live in a cheap little apartment, her father gets drunk and plays pachinko and beats her, her mother gets drunk and cries and beats her. And her classmates ignore her.
She likes to go down to the zombie ghetto, because all the zombies are friendly (in their own brainless way) and they get along with each other. She imagines that if she were a zombie, and if she could turn her mother and father into zombies, they would be happy again--
--Like that one day when they went for a drive together, and Akane went to the dog petting theme park, and ate a huge strawberry parfait. They were happy then.
