Summer when sunflowers do not bloom

[Summer when sunflowers do not bloom] Shusuke Michio

Shinchosha

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

On the day of the closing ceremony for the summer vacation, the teacher asked me to visit a classmate who was absent.

I hear a strange sound. Mr. S hanged himself and died. However, the shock is short-lived, and his corpse suddenly disappears.

A week later, S-kun turned into something and appeared. While complaining that "I was killed." I began to follow the case with my sister Mika to clear his regret. Another summer vacation spreading in front of you.

[Impressions of reading]

In a sense, a chilling feeling down my spine about something I can't understand.

As for the structure of the story, it was very easy to read and I could read it at once! I like the structure where the criminal and the reasoning are assembled first, and then each piece is rewritten to the correct truth.

However, the flow of chasing the incident together was unexpected and a little fantasy lol

I've always thought a lot about things like, "Can my sister cut her head like this at the age of 3?" or "The main character is an elementary school student, but he's really reasoning!" lol

Am I the only one who suddenly couldn't organize the story in his head in the second half? Was Iwamura-sensei just a pervert after all? Grandpa, aren't your roots too crazy???I wonder if you will notice this after rereading it several times.

Including that, this is a must-read.

... Read moreこの作品を読み進めていくうちに、単なるミステリーではなくファンタジー的要素も含まれている点に気づきました。主人公の妹ミカが幼いながらも鋭い推理力を持っていることや、S君の生まれ変わりとして現れる謎の存在が物語のキーポイントとなっています。 特に岩村先生というキャラクターの描写は、理解しきれない不気味さを感じさせ、読者の予測を何度も裏切ります。読者としても何度も読み返して、それぞれの伏線や真実を紐解く楽しみが味わえました。 タイトルの「向日葵の咲かない夏」は、まさに明るく輝く夏の象徴であるはずの向日葵が咲かず、悲劇や謎が渦巻く異色のひと夏をイメージさせています。カバーの青い階段と緑の自転車のさりげない配置も、登場人物の孤独や事件の深層を連想させ、とても印象的でした。 読書好きの方には純粋なミステリーだけでなく、心理ホラーやファンタジー要素も含んだこの作品はおすすめです。理解が難しい部分もありますが、それが逆に考察や感想を深めるきっかけになると思います。ぜひあなたもこの夏、一味違った読書体験として楽しんでみてはいかがでしょうか。
