Toilet Stories Vol.1, the review of the book to read in the bathroom
Toilet Stories Vol.1
Introducing this work is not easy, but it is often better to be direct than to turn words to explain a concept, so sorry if we might seem a little out of place. We all go to the bathroom to go to the toilet, it is a primary physiological function and for some it is comparable to a real daily ritual that deserves silence and tranquility. For the latter, instead of constantly shaking the smartphone or playing some game in it, wouldn't it be more interesting to read a book that is possibly short, but light and fun? So here is what Toilet Stories could be used for, the new first volume of two composed of the stories by Asami Hyougetu and the humorous illustrations by Shinsuke Yoshitake and published in Italy by Planet Manga.All the stories revolve around the bathroom and the adventures and misadventures that can be experienced, but let's find out more about this first chapter in our review.
Toilet Stories: how many stories started in the bathroom?
“This book is about bathrooms because stories are born in the bathroom. Stories of the most disparate, of any kind, from adventure to yellow "and with this preface by Asami Hyougetu begins the first volume of Toilet Stories. In the latter there are 33 stories (the prologue and epilogue are also included in the count) divided according to the reading time in the bathroom which can range from one minute to a maximum of five minutes and the necessary timing is conveniently reported in the index. All the stories are very diverse and take up various genres, however they are united by the red thread of brevity and fun. Have you ever been in the bathroom and heard speeches that maybe you shouldn't have heard? There is a story about this. Has it ever happened to you that he escaped with such urgency that you stop and do it in a wood? There is also this story. In short, among dramas, emotions, surprises and pure loves in Toilet Stories you could find one or more moments of real life that at least once you have lived or could live.if (jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh2_1") .is (": visible")) {console.log ("Edinet ADV adding zone: tag crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh2_1 slot id: th_culturapop_d_mh2"); } The bathroom is considered a place of absolute tranquility, a sort of refuge where we reflect, laugh, cry or perform the most disparate actions away from the prying eyes of others. In some cases it can be a real open place to hide from school bullies or stress for an upcoming exam or important job interview. In short, going to the toilet can be a great way to calm down and refresh your mind a little in order to better deal with the various difficulties of life. However, not all bathrooms are the same and it is not always possible to enjoy home tranquility. Try to imagine, for example, public toilets that are often dirty or with a long queue in case of very crowded events or demonstrations. This could upset quite a few floors, almost as much as finding yourself an ultra-technological toilet that recognizes people based on their backside, knowing that a serial killer is wandering around the bathrooms or knowing that the background song is not very pleasant.
Lots of fun, little memorability
The stories present in Toiler Stories, therefore, stand out for their great variety of both narrative style and themes. Some of them are self-contained, others partially connected, but all stand out for a more or less light tone depending on the story told. The situations described are almost all realistic and part of the daily life of all of us, therefore it becomes easy to get passionate, have fun and sometimes even get excited thinking about that time that exactly what is described in the book happened (such as discovering that you are pregnant) . Unfortunately, however, net of this no story really remains imprinted in the mind nor their purpose is to give moral teachings to the reader. It is like observing a series of short films that describe various more or less likely events that happen in the bathroom, you feel some emotion when you look at them but you forget it the exact moment one ends and the next begins. The stories, unfortunately, are basic and devoid of any twist or twist.if (jQuery ("# crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh3_1"). Is (": visible")) {console.log ("Edinet ADV adding zone: tag crm_srl-th_culturapop_d_mh3_1 slot id: th_culturapop_d_mh3 "); } As if that weren't enough, even the illustrations present here and there in the volume are of very little use and have been used in an unintelligent way. Their presence is below a simple outline as they are often printed at the end of a story near the page number in very small size. Moreover, almost all of the illustrations present in the various pages are already present in the dust jacket of the booklet, so the curiosity to leaf through the pages in search of some funny cartoon by Shinsuke Yoshitake is also lacking. The style is still very simple, but detailed enough to make the reader understand what it meant and is perfectly connected to the stories in which they appear.
