Abstract

The public's high appreciation of popular novels has encouraged the film and television industries to adapt literary works into an audiovisual format. One of the novels adapted into a drama series is Yakou Kanransha by Minato Kanae. The ecranization of the novel resulted in changes in the plot, characters, and setting and also impacted the audience’s satisfaction with the drama series. This study uses a descriptive qualitative, and structural approach to analyze the ecranization process of the Yakou Kanransha novel into a drama series to identify the changes between the novel version and the drama series adaptation. Data were obtained from reading the novel and watching the drama series, then analyzing the plot, character, and setting differences. The results showed that the ecranization process resulted in changes in the story structure, including reduction, addition, and varied changes in the aspects of plot, character, and setting. In the plot aspect, there are 8 reductions, 39 additions, and 15 varied changes. Meanwhile, there are 3 reductions, 9 additions, and 8 varied changes in the character aspect. As for the background aspect, there is 1 reduction, 8 additions, and 6 varied changes. The impact of the ecranization process gives different interpretations to the audiences of the two works. Nevertheless, the overall ecranization process has a positive impact, as seen from the positive responses of the audience to the adaptation.

Abstract

The novel is one of the most popular forms of literature that serves as a medium for authors to represent their characters. Novels are literary works that can represent the life of society and a means of criticizing the social phenomena witnessed by the author. One of the novels that illustrates the social phenomenon of alienation in Japanese society is Ningen Shikkaku by Dazai Osamu. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze social phenomena in Ningen Shikkaku to identify the phenomenon of alienation using Melvin Seeman's theory of alienation, which is grouped into five aspects, including powerlessness, meaninglessness, normlessness, social isolation, and self-estrangement experienced by the main character Yozo Oba. The results show that the five aspects of alienation experienced by Yozo gradually became primarily relevant to what happened in Japanese society at that time. His father controls Yozo's life, and he does not know what he wants and does not want, so he lives a life without meaning and purpose. Yozo is also dominated by feelings of emptiness or loss of meaning, which leads to a desire to end his life. Yozo also experiences social isolation and alienation. In Japanese society, suicide or hikikomori as an effect of alienation, like Yozo's, is common until now.

Abstract

Readers play a crucial role in interpreting literary works, as each individual brings their own background and knowledge to the construction of meaning. Online platforms such as Goodreads.com and Bookmeter.com provide a space for diverse responses in the literature. This study aims to analyze reader responses to the themes in Tenki no Ko by Makoto Shinkai through a qualitative descriptive approach within the framework of Reception Theory, particularly Hans Robert Jauss's Horizon of Expectations. Data were collected from reviews of 60 online readers. The findings indicate that readers' expectations regarding three main themes–identity and freedom, love and sacrifice, and the relationship between weather and humanity–were largely fulfilled. These results highlight the connection between readers’ personal experiences and the thematic structure of the novel, offering insights into contemporary literary reception in digital environments.

Abstract

This study analyzes the application of the classical detective formula in Keigo Higashino’s novel Yogisha X no Kenshin using John George Cawelti’s theory of the classical detective formula. The purpose of this research is to identify the narrative patterns and their modifications that distinguish the novel from conventional detective formulas. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method with a close-reading technique. The data were obtained from the Japanese version of the novel and its Indonesian translation, then classified according to the five aspects of the classical detective formula: introduction of the detective, crime and clues, investigation, announcement of the solution, explanation of the solution, and the ending. The findings show that although the classical detective formula is applied consistently, it is accompanied by structural innovations. The story does not begin with the introduction of the detective, but instead opens with the depiction of a crime supported by false clues functioning as diversions. The character Yukawa Manabu is portrayed as a physics professor who solves the case through a scientific approach. The investigation process highlights not only the criminal aspects but also the moral conflicts accompanying the perpetrator’s actions. The stages of announcing and explaining the solution, together with the ending, are presented sequentially and form a confrontational structure in revealing the true perpetrator. Yogisha X no Kenshin enriches the detective genre by modifying the classical formula through scientific reasoning, clue manipulation, and nuanced characterization of the perpetrator. Such innovations represent an important contribution to the development of modern detective formulas in Japan.
