The emotional conflicts of the children today is considered as the condition which makes "dialogues" impossible. The expressions found in comics such as Kubo Kiriko's contain the clue to "reverse" this kind of problem. It is impossible to solve this problem by trying to understand it in the way of reading the monologues in the modern novels. In my opinion, the only possible solution lies in comprehension of the polyphonic literary works like Dostoevski's. This element is found, for instance, in Goto Ryuji's 14 Years Old-Fight.
