Waltz · review
I admit that reading the plot I was sure I was faced with a story I had already seen. Then I remembered that the author is the great master Oshimi and here we are faced with another story that left me something, a sense of restlessness. Perhaps to better understand the meaning of Waltz, we need to focus on main character Onaga, whose life divided into school/work and a quiet home environment does not allow him to escape from everyday life and the sense of boredom. Seeing Kashiwabara-kun dressed as a girl gives him a chance to experience something beyond the daily boredom and it'sa feeling he doesn't want to miss. If for love, friendship or simply for personal entertainment we don't know and we won't be able to know.
The ending of the chapter strikes, making the reader wonder about Onaga's feelings.
I found the LGBT theme present here realistic and interesting and the final implication very realistic and actual.
