I wrote about the train man before. It is a true love story which was born and grew at 2 channel. It was released as a book and has had really good sales! and I have heard it would be made in to movie too.
Then another book has been relased as a book from a blog. The title is "Jitsuroku Oniyome Nikki" (A diary about a life with a diabolic wife ?!). A husband writes about his daily life with strong wife. The book review says, " An oppressed husband something which is greatly proliferating in recent Japan, spelt this blog as an outlet of the stress of every day. All stories are the real life of a husband Kazuma who abused and handled by his "irrational arrogant Diabolic wife". Why has the woman could be strong like this? Why has a man weakened like this? "
Yes all his episodes are so awful and poor, but we could sense his affection for wife. Although all his stories are so filled with misery but still comical. We cannot help sympathizing and also laughing. For example, this is her cooking, this is Saury which is supposed to be looked like this. But as far as he could eat his wife's home cooking, it is good. Because she takes the weekend off and does not do house keeping and cooking, even thought she is house wife! ha ha. She gets his clothes only when they are bargain at the DAIEI. She gave him bath towel as a Chrismas present but required brand clothes in return. When they went to travel, she is excited to take picture of him, of course she lets him do the same way with status. If you can read the blog with some translating program, you will know, her reasonable talking is super great actually. He writes such poor episodes everyday. Ha ha ha.
What? nothing fun? You think this is a sort of domestic violence or abuse, do you? Hmm as far as reading this way, I feel this is the shape of their love. I just hope when his book can make good sales, he can use all the money for himself.
