Cherry Maruko has a boyfriend. Are you too shy to grow up？
Cherry Maruko, a teenager from Italy
Special feature of 1905 film network "Crack, crack, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
"Cherry Maruko" was born in RIBON, a Japanese girl comic magazine in 1986. Based on the childhood life of the author, Cherry Maruko (whose real name is Miura Miki), it tells an interesting story about Maruko’s life with her family and classmates in Shimizu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan in the 1970s.
The original author Cherry and her cartoons.
"Cherry Maruko" was animated for the first time from 1990 to 1992. So far, there have been more than 1,000 episodes of TV animation, and it is still being serialized and broadcasted in Japan. The characteristic of "Cherry Maruko" is that when the character is embarrassed, there will be a trademark expression of black line, and sometimes there will be a cold wind blowing from behind.

Unlike Doraemon, Detective Conan and other cartoons, there is a theatrical version every year. The Boy from Italy is the third theatrical version of Cherry Maruko, which was made to commemorate the 25th anniversary of TV animation. The film was written by the original comic author Sakura himself, and the animated version was directed by Jun Takagi.
The 1990 theatrical version of friendship days and the 1992 theatrical version of My Favorite Song.
Although "Cherry Maruko" is actually 30 years old, in the world of animation, she has always been the third-grade pupil in our memory. It seems that she will never grow up, always with a small head, a round face, a constant hairstyle, and a classic dress of white coat, red skirt and yellow hat.
The classic shape of Maruko for 30 years
She has many small faults: she is lazy, doesn’t like sports, doesn’t like studying, doesn’t like cleaning, loves to take advantage, is careless, always gives up halfway, and often quarrels with her sister. But we still love her, because she is innocent and lovely, lively and kind, and she is very real, just like us, every ordinary and ordinary child enjoys a carefree childhood.
Twenty-five years have passed, when we have all grown up, we gradually lost our last childlike innocence in the crowded crowd and busy life. When we first saw her in the cinema, we might be surprised to find that although the appearance is still the same, the small ball has grown!
Maruko and Andre
This time, "Cherry Maruko" is different from the past. Maruko and her friends went out of Shimizu to travel to a wider world such as Osaka, Kyoto and Tokyo, and made six children from all over the world. Most importantly, Maruko met the first boy who liked her, Andre from Italy.
Six children from all over the world
They set off river lanterns, watched fireworks and caught goldfish together. Although they are still pure friendship, when they are squeezed by the crowd and try to hold each other’s hands, when Maruko persistently accompanies Andre in his search in order to fulfill his wish, and when Maruko gets rid of her little habit of sleeping late in order to send Andre to the plane, we can clearly see that Maruko is not the original Maruko, and she has grown up.
It’s not just Maruko who grew up. The cartoon characters who brought infinite joy to our childhood all completed their adult ceremonies on the big screen, but we didn’t find them.
Growth is not only a beautiful memory and a happy moment, but also a heavy price and tears of separation, such as the one shown in the mainland last year.
The poster of Doraemon: Walk with Me is full of emotion.
We all know that Doraemon is a cat-type intelligent robot sent by Daxiong’s great grandson from the 22nd century, with the purpose of helping Daxiong change his life, marry Bai Fumei and embark on the road to success. However, more than 2,000 episodes of cartoons have been broadcast, and there are 35 theatrical versions. Although Doraemon’s four-dimensional pocket has produced strange future props, it has not changed Daxiong’s fate of poor study, weak health and being bullied by Pang Hu and Xiaofu all day. However, "Walk with Me" is different, and we see the growth of Daxiong.
Doraemon’s future props
Because Doraemon should follow the egg, Shizuka fell in love with Chumu fir, but Chumu fir wanted Doraemon to eliminate this reaction, because he didn’t want to get Shizuka’s love through props. This made Daxiong deeply hit. He knew that he could no longer rely on the power of Doraemon, and he had to win Jingxiang back by his own efforts. This is Nobita’s first growth, and he understands that his destiny can only be changed by himself.
But the reality is cruel. Although Daxiong worked hard and studied hard, he got a duck egg because he made a mistake in the exam subjects. The frustrated Daxiong decided to give up Jingxiang because he didn’t want Jingxiang to suffer with himself in the future. This is Nobita’s second growth, and he began to learn to think for others.
Daxiong came to the future in Doraemon’s time machine and was trapped in the storm with Shizuka when he grew up. At the most critical moment, he relied on his wisdom to find a way to save Shizuka, who was dying. This is Nobita’s third growth. He changed his destiny by himself and made Jingxiang agree to propose marriage.
Daxiong got happiness, Doraemon must return to the 22nd century according to the procedure. In order to let Doraemon leave with peace of mind, Daxiong faced Pang Hu’s bullying alone, and stood up and fought to the end with his head held high no matter how the other party punched and kicked. This is Nobita’s fourth growth, and he has the courage and responsibility to face adversity alone.
Watching this children’s animation in the cinema, we were drowned in tears. Perhaps we cried not only because of the growth of Daxiong and the departure of Doraemon, but also because of our own lost youth and ideals. Even the hero who is like a salted fish has the courage to face up to his life. What reason do we have to choose to escape?
Similarly, there is crayon Shinchan slowly changing. In 2010, we saw the help of Nohara Shinsuke, which is different from the past.
Twenty years after Xiaoxin and his friends were brought by his future fiancee Minzi, a group of people were surrounded by the bride group sent by Minzi’s father. A bride to be married seized Xiaoxin and threatened Minzi. Unexpectedly, Xiaoxin used a rose to skillfully resolve the crisis and save her companions.
After seeing the playground of his childhood turned into ruins, Xiaoxin began to worry about his parents’ safety. He quickly ran home to confirm that his future parents were safe and sound, and he showed a knowing smile. We just found out that Xiaoxin, who seems heartless and mischievous, actually loves his parents deeply.
Xiaoxin made a big fuss about the wedding between Minzi and Feng, and resolutely wanted to get back his bride, and insisted on guarding her when Minzi was about to fall off the roller coaster. This is not the crayon Shinchan that we remember. He will grow up to be the coolest adult in the future.
Therefore, Cherry Maruko has a boyfriend, Daxiong can marry Jingxiang, and Crayon Xiaoxin has a fiancee. Looking at these childhood partners growing towards their dreams and future, what reason can we not urge ourselves to become better, stronger and more responsible adults?
