Is the reason for “Land Mine Woman” because she’s a demoness?
Liza is portrayed as a poor woman with a history of losing the person she loved, but unfortunately, she was never very popular with readers.
On the contrary, a Google search for “linden” is enough to bring up “linden hate” and “linden mine” in the suggestions.
Why has she been identified as a mine woman?
The reason is simple: she treats Rikuo as a complete keeper.
As mentioned earlier, Lichen can’t forget her childhood friend, Yuku, and refuses to accept Rikuo’s confession.
Asking her to remain a friend on top of that is not a complimentary statement in itself, but it’s not that much to blame… The reason why Lichen is called a land mine woman is because of her subsequent actions.
Firstly, even after rejecting her confession, she frequently meets alone with him for dinner and invites him to go shopping.
He doesn’t seem to be aware of this, but it’s almost like a date, and as a result, his behavior smells to Rikuo that he still has a pulse.
He also acts jealous when he learns that Rikuo’s high school girlfriend, Chika Yuzuhara (Yuzuhara Chika), has rolled into his house and threatens Rikuo with an oppressive smile.
Unable to give up on Liko, Rikuo declares that he will wait until Liko comes to terms with her feelings and comes to terms with her past, and despite this, Rikuo’s laxity on the side that results in a flicker of another woman’s shadow, it must be said that his attitude is a bit too smelly for that.
On top of that, whenever he has a problem, he immediately turns to Rikuo for help.
He is aware that this is bad for him, but he still reasons that there is no one else he can talk to casually, so he remains in the status quo.
It is truly a keeper.
However, even so, Lichen is rarely blamed for the work.
This is because she is doing all of these actions in a natural way.
It’s not something she does by calculation.
Her personality itself is warm and kind, she is caring to the point of being overprotective of others, she is popular with the students at school and is adored by the teachers around her.
Because of this, when readers look at her, they think that she is a woman who treats men like they are their keepers and doesn’t get any rewards, or that she is too good-looking, and they treat her as a land mine.
I’m sure you’ll agree with me that it’s a bit of a stretch to say that it’s a bit of a stretch to say that it’s a bit of a stretch to say that it’s a stretch to say In other words, she’s the author’s official land mine woman.
A striking resemblance to the caretaker of “Mezoh Ikkoku”?
出典 : Amazon.co.jp
The author considers her to be a “bad person”, so much so that she is a land mine woman, but in fact, there is a character that is quite similar to her.
She is Kyoko Otonashi, the caretaker of Mezong Ikkoku.
She, too, lost her husband when she was young and lost her husband when she was young, and she has been in a state of lukewarmness for many years, never making her attitude clear while being wooed by two men afterwards.
Both share the same point of view of being good-natured women in the eyes of those around them.
The same is true in that they are not very experienced in relationships.
And what they have in common even more is that they are both timid.
After the Yuzuhara incident, Listress has slowly started to see Rikuo as the opposite sex, and her feelings for him have gradually grown.
Furthermore, afterwards, she reminisces that she has only been running away from him under the pretext of the spring, and that she is actually afraid of being alone.
She then says that she wishes Rikuo had been more forceful.
This means that “if he attacked me more aggressively, I would be able to convince myself that ‘I can’t help it because he thinks of me so much’.
She’s afraid of making decisions on her own, so she’s willing to let Rikuo make them.
Incidentally, the caretakers of the Mezon are in the same boat.
Depending on the interpretation, this aspect of them could be interpreted as cowardice, giving the impression of a demonic woman.
But it is true that there are a certain number of men who are attracted to demonic nature, and this is one aspect of Linden’s appeal.
Just because she’s a mine woman doesn’t mean that she’s not an attractive character.
summary
When I was reading the story from Rikuo’s point of view, it didn’t seem like she was doing anything that bad, but once again, if you only follow the actions of Lichen Sensee, it’s true that she could be called a land mine……..
But it’s this demonic side of her that contrasts with the aggressive and bold Hal, and I think it’s this side of her that has allowed her to become a masterpiece in “Yesterday wo Utte”.
