Main characters: a boy and the mermaid
Summary: A boy lives in a country where imagination is not allowed. But the boy likes to imagine. And one day, he imagines that the fish he found is actually a mermaid. The word got around, and he was sent to the government to stop his imagination. The government tries everything so that the boy will stop imagining. But he never stopped, he remembered, as long as he could.
message: I think Tezuka Osamu was trying to tell us that it's ok to imagine. It's not something that government should control; we all should have the rights to do so.
Opinion: In the last, from the way everyone was looking at the boy, I think his imagination won. Also, in the last you can see two figures of mermaid jumping in the ocean. It's hard to decide wether the government told the boy to kill him self or the boy decided that he should die; but I think the boy died, and lived happily ever after with his imagination and the mermaid in heaven.
