◆What kind of story is 'Ameame Fure Fure Usoyande'?
Nao Sasakura, the main character of 'Ameame Fure Fure Usoyande', loves rain so much that she wants to hum when it rains. A new transfer student, Kai Yuuki, appears in one of Nao's middle school classes.
Kaiyui flatly rejects Nao, who tries to get along with the transfer student, and declares that she hates rain.
Even so, Kai reveals her secret to Nao, who patiently talks to her about becoming friends. Kaiyui is a 'Category 4' Rain Man, certified by a government agency called the 'Bureau of Meteorology'. A strange ability to summon rain just by going out, so that government officials are always on guard. Kaiyui says, 'I have never seen the sun since I was born.'
Nao was rejected by Kaiyui again, but she couldn't forget the look on Kaiyui's face when she rejected her, and made up her mind again. The sun never goes away, it must be there. Even if you're a rain man who calls bad weather no matter how you do it, there must be some way to see the sun.
Nao and Kaiyui try everything they can think of. Whether by brute force, by superstition, or by relying on God. But 'Ameo' is tough. And Rain Man, who brings rain and disaster, cannot stay in the same area for a long time. The time limit is only two weeks, when Kai transfers schools.
◆ Questionnaire collection about 'rainy day'
In 'Ameame Fure Fure Usoyande', Nao loves rainy days and Kaiyui hates rainy days. Therefore, we asked GIGAZINE readers to answer the questionnaire whether they like rainy days. Of the approximately 10,000 responses, about 32.5% answered that they like rainy days, and about 67.5% answered that they don't like rainy days.
The most common reasons for those who answered 'I like rainy days' were the 'sounds of rain' and the 'smell of rainy days', because sunny people have different sensations. There were a lot of comments that said, 'Calm down.' The smell after it rains is sometimes unpleasant and damp, but many people seem to like the smell of
In addition, there were many opinions such as, 'I have good and pleasant memories on rainy days, and I remember them when it rains.' Some of them said, 'I am also a rain man/rain woman, so all my happy memories are rainy days.'
In 'Ameame Fure Fure Usoyande', Nao tries to make the weather clearer, and uses the idea of 'I bought a new umbrella so it doesn't rain as often as when I wanted to use it.' We are also proposing a plan to take In the same way, there are some comments such as 'I like rain because I can use my favorite umbrella and boots' and 'I like raincoats that I only use on rainy days'.
In addition, the indoor group said, ``I can stay at home without hesitation because I have a reason not to go outside. In addition to the senses, there were multiple answers about the earnest concern that 'the days when I suffer from hay fever are alleviated on rainy days.' There was also a comment saying, 'I don't like it if either one lasts forever, but it's raining when it's sunny.'
About 35% of those who answered that they 'don't like rainy days' simply answered 'I don't like getting wet in the rain.' In addition, about 30% answered that it is difficult to go to work or school, such as not being able to use a bicycle, and that it is difficult to work outside or pick up and drop off children, and that it is troublesome on rainy days.
In addition, about 10% of the respondents answered that they were 'because they feel unwell,' including headaches, drowsiness, and depression due to changes in atmospheric pressure and increased humidity. In relation to feeling depressed, people who like sports and outdoor activities answered that they were sad when they couldn't play outside or had professional sports canceled due to rain.
The sale of 'Ameame Fure Fure Usoyande', which depicts two weeks of continuous rain, is scheduled to continue until the end of the rainy season in 2023. I would be very happy if you take this opportunity to read books on days when you have to stay at home, or change the way you enjoy rainy days after reading the works.
