New volume of jeweler richard light novel is out in english (at least in ebook format) and it was better than i expected. It is start to 3rd arc and seigi isn't the narrator. I tried to read it in Japanese (with a help of translator) but it was too lyrical and fairytale-esque in places. Expecially, minoru's interactions with "ghost" were confusing to me. Now, I see why. Minoru's story starts like fairytale and it almost give me the same vibes like 19th century children's coming of age novels (secret garden, little princess and many more). Seigi is all grown up and his relationship with richatd is stable (they are so comfortable with each other and so in love). On the other hand, minoru is unpolished gam and he is growing up in really difficult and mentally exhausting environment. I like how social service isn't glamorise but also it isn't demonize. Similarly, I appreciate that minoru's mum mental problems are treated seriously.
