(Russian) Правила игры
Это увлекательная история о ребенке, который случайно попадает в игру. Джихо, главный герой, - пассивный и замкнутый ребенок. Он маленький, поэтому его дразнят, называя «арахис». Однажды перед Джихо появляется подозрительный парень «Кинг», и по его предложению Джихо начинает игру. Но чем больше он играет, тем случается нечто невероятное. Его личность, которая была тихой и замкнутой, также меняется. Несмотря на то, что он обнаруживает, что это опасная игра, Джихо не может легко выйти из игры. Потому что если он захочет, то сможет избавиться от любого количества людей, которые его беспокоят и не хотят видеть. Сможет ли Джихо выбраться из игрового мира?
(English) The Rules of the Game
The Rules of the Game recounts the adventures of a boy who gets into games. Our protagonist, Jiho, is a quiet, introverted child because he is short and has a small build, so the other kids call him shorty. One day, Jiho meets a strange new friend named King, who suggests he play a game.
As the game continues, Jiho encounters one incredible thing after another. And his quiet, introverted personality changes. Even though he senses that the game is dangerous, Jiho can't stop playing. He now has the power to get rid of anyone who bullies or annoys him. Will Jiho be able to escape the world inside the game?
The author Jeong Seol-ah examines the concerns and issues faced by children nowadays using a highly realistic style of writing. Rather than beating around the bush, the author presents a vivid picture. The bold illustrations by Han Dan-hee add depth to the story. The Rules of the Game confronts such serious issues surrounding elementary school students as game addiction, bullying and domestic violence. The story makes our heart ache throughout and leads us to look back on the world surrounding children these days.
