(comment) Natalia is sadistically treated by her poor astronomer father and forced into prostitution. Set in the Renaissance period, when religion shifted to science, the yearning for celestial objects and Natalia's cruel circumstances are depicted with the keyword "contraindications". The scene where the young man prays for Natalia's dream of "becoming friends with people from the stars" to come true is beautiful. By the way, the starry sky at the beginning of the book is made by spraying white on black paper. Hiraku Machida sometimes uses white for drawing effects, but not for correction. The screen created by uncorrected lines probably gives the world of the work a unique transience (Yamatani).
