演劇的魔人のメランコリー
出来についての良し悪しを論じる必要はない。
皆が考え、苦悶し、頭を捻りつつ生み出された、
ゲシュペンスト・ケッツァーの同人誌。
絶大な力を持つ魔人と少女の物語だが、全体的に
間延びしていてストーリーも右往左往気味。
台詞の端々に作者の照れが垣間見える。
本来あって然るべきのアクションシーンも、
時間が足りなかったのか、省略されている。
……とはいえ、そんなことはどうでもいい。
この作品には、喜びのオーラがある。
物語を紡ぐという、誰もが持つ原始的な歓喜だ。
全ての出発点。まずはここから。
The Melancholy of a Dramatic Demon
There's no sense debating how well it turned out. The point is, everyone brainstormed, agonized over it, and put all their efforts in to making this doujin for their club, Gespenst Ketzer.
It's a story about a demon who possesses immeasurable power and a girl, but the plotting is slow and kind of confusing. Readers were also able to detect the writer's embarrassment through some of the characters' lines. And even the action scenes that should've been included are omitted, possibly due to lack of time.
That may have been so, but none of it really matters. The work itself fairly exudes an aura of pride and joy. It's a very natural response anyone might have after creating their own story. It all began here.
