Oregairu: Another Day Ruined by Shizuka-sensei

One heroine. A story about genuine love, with the main conflict beginning when Yang Nai appears. This may be different from other books. Is the protagonist not searching for genuine love? Instead, is he searching for “the meaning of being alive”? Youth is ignorant and full of delusions. People who sing the praises of youth are often under little pressure themselves. Blindly craving things, searching for the value in what one needs. The things we value most are often needs born of our hopes for our future and our pursuit of worth in the present. Most people don’t even have the right to choose whether they want to live, or whether they want to be born. The values they bear are bestowed by others. Put simply, they use the value given to them by others to shape their own values. Bad means disadvantage and failure. Good means success and hope. They’re nothing more than means of self-deception and blind pursuits our minds crave. If youth is a lie we tell ourselves, then the youth people long for is merely what they think others think of them. Yet they won’t admit it, because those judgments are often harsh. They can’t imagine why they should live for themselves. The goals they choose are often dictated by pressure from the outside world. In conclusion: People in the midst of their youth bask in the help their parents give them, dreaming of what they hope for in the future. May I live in a tomorrow that doesn’t exist!
