Oh, I feel like I can accomplish more things today 'cos I finished a book...! :P
So... I did a reread of "The Devotion of Suspect X" this year. My thoughts pretty much remain the same as last year's but some other things I want to mention...
- Tsutsumi-san as Ishigami: He's too good-looking for the character XD
- Kudo is like someone who couldn't read the room (oh you sweet summer child-man...). Oof it got a bit awkward near the end, huh. Anyway this character is supposed to be more good-looking than Ishigami but I think he's just normal-looking in the [Japanese] movie. Which isn't really a problem... the main point of the movie is Tsutsumi-san's acting!
- I'm talking about the looks because they are mentioned several times in the book. It's inevitable that it's different in the movie but I don't think it change things much anyway...
- a random, throwaway thought: I don't know why, to me, it seems like the person who is on the receiving end of someone's devotion usually doesn't deserve the love bestowed to them and that makes stories with this kind of love always a sad (if not tragic) one...
Been listening more to this song ("Sai'ai", also used as post title) while I finish the book (I actually like his version more for some reason):
Not going to pick a new book from the jar today. I'm pretty much still in a [physical books] reading slump so I'm going to make it easy for myself. There are five weeks for this month anyway so it should be okay to do it on the the second and fourth weeks...
