Plot:

what is actually Luck? How is it defined? And how do you get it? The young and extremely dreamy Nanoka has to ask herself this question for a school project. She quickly realizes that this question is not so easy to answer. The bright student takes this as an opportunity to ask her friends about it. On the one hand, there is an older girl who is struggling with depression, a helpful middle-aged woman and an old lady who, in addition to all sorts of wisdom, also gives her an understanding of literature such as “The Little Prince”. With the women’s food for thought in the back of their minds, Nanoka tries to answer the question of personal happiness for themselves.

Recommendation:

“I had that same dream again” manages to send the reader on an exciting and insightful journey about the question of personal happiness in just 3 volumes. The different views of the topic are multi-layered and presented in a tangible way at all times. Happiness sometimes means being accepted by others, sometimes it means treating loved ones around you appropriately. The different approaches and ways of thinking of the protagonists are interwoven over the 12 chapters of the story. They credibly reflect how simple and yet complex the pursuit of happiness can be.

The art of happiness

The story focuses on the Yoru Suminos credibly drawn female characters whose multi-faceted portraits give the manga its depth. All three women have lived through different destinies and therefore have their own conception of happiness and its meaning. The creative process in particular is a central element in answering this question. For example, Nanoka’s depressed friend, like Nanoka herself, is interested in creative writing. Meanwhile, her classmate Hikari spends most of her time drawing pictures, despite teasing. The love for creative expression can be felt in every panel. It’s almost as if Sumino answered the question of personal happiness himself.

Opposite the women is the fun-loving protagonist Nanoka, who already has a lot of wisdom ready at a young age (“Life is like a bento, you can’t fit everything you like”). Despite the complexity of the initial philosophical question, her childishly naive approach gives the work a lightness that is noticeable at all times.

Conclusion:

“I had that same dream again” is told in a similar way to Sumino’s predecessor «I want to eat your pancreas», a true-to-life story peppered with heartwarming, interpersonal tones. Despite the entertaining plot, food for thought lingers long after you have put the volumes down. Slice of Life lovers who have not yet explored the question of happiness should definitely do so.
