What's up with all the Japanese media about wildly inappropriate relationships?

Certainly the given name of the protagonist is '聖 (Hijiri)', but actually the way to read the title of the manga (and the TV drama) 『中学聖日記』 is 'Chūgakusei'nikki'. The official site of the publishing firm says, 'チュウガクセイニッキ (Chūgakusei'nikki).' The actress Arimura Kasumi says, 'ちゅうがくせいにっき (Chūgakusei'nikki),' in a video on the official web site for the TV drama. http://www.s-book.net/plsql/slib_detail?isbn=9784396766764 http://www.tbs.co.jp/chugakuseinikki_tbs/ Probably '中学聖日記 (Chūgakusei'nikki)' is wordplay on 『中学生日記』 (Chūgakusei'nikki), a famous NHK TV drama about junior high school students which was broadcast from the 1970s to the 2010s. 'Chūgaku Hijiri Nikki', which is your way to read the title, sounds as if it were about a priest who is a middle schooler. Have you ever read Kōya Hijiri by Izumi Kyōka in the original? |
