Haru's Curse
by Asuka Konishi
SYNOPSIS: After Natsumi's younger sister and best friend Haru dies at the age of 19, she begins dating Haru's fiancee Togo - on the condition that he take her only to places he had taken her sister. Their relationship deepens as the seasons pass, but Haru's curse lies between them...
Will there be happiness after Haru's curse is broken?
"Haru's Curse" habla sobre el dolor -y la culpa- tras la partida de un ser querido.
El
manga comienza con el funeral de Haru, víctima de cáncer. Su hermana
mayor, Natsumi, la adoraba y la consideraba su única familia, a pesar de
vivir con su padre, su madrastra y un hermano menor.
Haru estaba
comprometida con Togo y, aunque se trata de un matrimonio concertado,
parece haber sentido algo por el joven, aunque pronto nos damos cuenta
de que Togo no. Simplemente sigue el camino que le ha sido determinado
según su legado familiar y su madre.
Así que Natsumi no se sorprende
demasiado cuando Togo le pide que se sigan viendo, como continuación del
contrato familiar, y es entonces cuando ella acepta con la condición de
que vayan a los lugares a los que él fue con Haru. Entonces puedes ver
que no se trata precisamente de una relación saludable. Haru es un
fantasma entre ellos, y los sentimientos de tristeza que expresa Natsumi
revelan una vida familiar infeliz, e incluso ella quiere suicidarse.

Lo que parece sobrar en esta historia es ese tiro al
aire que Natsumi incluso cree que está enamorada de su hermana ... creo
que la ama, y quiere morir porque es algo que la gente suele expresar
en momentos de angustia, pero el resto es extraño, hasta dudando de su
género porque no ha tenido novio . Y luego el diario digital con la
"dulce" Haru diciendo que quiere llevar a su hermana al infierno ... uh,
un poco egoísta.
Dicen que el dolor hace que las personas
maduren, y ese parece ser el caso en este caso; aunque se necesitaba un
poco más de desarrollo en la relación para alcanzar ese fin.
¿El arte? Lindo.
Aquí
tenemos lo que se ve a menudo en los dramas donde el niño rico sigue
los dictados de la familia. Y esa idea de que la hermana no puede estar
con el novio de su hermana muerta, realmente no veo el problema, porque
nunca antes habían tenido una relación, y parece que es un gran no-no
con las familias.
Me gusta que ambos busquen su independencia.

{THis time in English: }
"Haru's Curse" talks about the grief -and guilt- after the departure of a loved one.
The manga begins with the funeral of Haru, a cancer victim. Her older sister, Natsumi, adored her and considered her as her only family, despite living with her father, stepmother, and a younger brother.
Haru was engaged to Togo and although it is an arranged marriage, she seems to have had feelings for the young man, although we soon realize that Togo did not. He simply follows the path determined for him according to his mother and family legacy. So Natsumi is not too surprised when Togo asks her to continue seeing each other, as a continuation of the family contract, and it is then that she agrees on the condition that they go to the places where he went with Haru. So you can see that it is not a healthy relationship. Haru is a ghost between them, and the feelings of sadness that Natsumi expresses reveal an unhappy family life, and even she wants to commit suicide.

Haru is a ghost between them, and the feelings of sadness that Natsumi expresses reveal an unhappy family life, and even she wants to commit suicide.
What seems to be left over in this story is that shot in the air that Natsumi even believes she is in love with her sister ... I believe that she loves her, and want to die because it is something that people often express in moments of anguish, but the rest is strange, doubting her gender because she has not had a boyfriend. And then the digital diary with the "sweet" Haru saying that she wants to take her sister to hell ... uh, kind of too selfish.
They say that pain causes people to mature, and that seems to be the case in this case; although a little more development was needed in the relationship to reach that end.
The art? Nice.

Here we have that which is often seen in dramas where the rich boy follows the dictates of the family. And that idea that the sister can't be with her dead sister's boyfriend, I don't really see the problem, because they never had a relationship before, and it seems like it's a big no-no with families.
I like that both seek their independence.
My rating: 3.5
