Features: A boy almost always sits beside us, holding a cup of something, telling a story of a "Fairy Tale." The cunning boy uses countless traps to attract readers to these humorous yet heartwarming plots: the boy's unrequited love, childhood sweethearts, the kind delinquent, and coming-of-age confessions. He sets the stage, then, as we laugh uncontrollably, his smile suddenly disappears, cruelly throwing innocent people into a state of sadness. He gives up resolutely, is forced, lies, sheds tears, and even dies. When we think this novel is too cruel to be named a fairy tale, he takes a wild turn, finding a patch of sunlight amidst endless darkness—a fairy tale that breaks into laughter from tears.
