A few days ago, when I go to lunch with my senior daughter, she asked me

"Papa. Have you read "Faust" before?"

Ebata: "Not yet. I don't like a book of drama, because of many exaggerated statements and hard to read. But why do you ask me that?"

Daughter:" Even "Kanbaru" read "Faust""

Ebata: "It means "Kanbaru Suruga"?"

Daughter: "Yes"

-----

"Kanbaru Suruga" is a female high school student, a character of "Monogatari-serise" written by Mr.Nishio Ishin.

Recently, I declared the whole volume collection of the series, and the junior daughter continues reading by great force.

The senior daughter also seemed to begin to read under the influence.

-----

Ebata: "You don't have to care, what a kind of book the character in the fiction read"

Daughter:" Do you think that Kanbaru is a special female high school student?"

Ebata: "No. I think some female ... not only female but male students read "Faust""

Daughter:" I was right after all"

Ebata: "But I think that there is a question whether they read the book happily"

Daughter:"?"
