kissing is the worst but otherwise liked this, Especially Curry Favor chapter Cest le festival des baffes dans ce tome !!
Lunivers semble intéressant mais sonne un peu creux jusque là.
Where the
hell did the monkey come from!! This had little corlation with the first manga none of this makes sense Utena literary met anthy's brother in volthen acted like she never met him wth, in volthey got out of the school then ended up in a theater now they are back in the school The prince was dead in voland some reason being keep alive in well by the memory in Utena's heart and in order to get out of the school she has to forget about him so she dose but for some reason they are back in the school and he's still alive and well in vol!!! Me parece bien.
La traducción hecha por fans me impide disfrutar del todo esta historia, pero debo conformarme hasta que pueda conseguir un ejemplar oficial.
Kozue debuta, curiosamente, antes que Nanami, Ella parece más apegada a Miki de lo que es en el anime, De nuevo, los duelos son más interesantes en movimiento, pero es curioso notar las grandes diferencias entre las historias.
Como Nanami aún no aparece en persona, al menos, Chuchu es quien toma su lugar con el asunto del curry.
Este capítulo es incluido como extra al final del tomo, cambiando por completo el ambiente que se tenía por como concluyó el capítulo anterior.
En cuestión del arte, en este tomo se pueden apreciar los primeros cambios realizados con similitud al anime: el vestido de Anthy sigue siendo blanco, pero ya no posee mangas, y la apariencia de Chuchu ha cambiado siendo similar al que vemos en la animación.
Escribiré la reseña del manga completo cuando termine el último tomo, Me estoy enamorando de Kiryuu y de Miki The entire time I felt like there was something lurking underneath the surface of everything else going on, and I couldn't tell what.
It's unsettling and I'm living for it, Every female character introduced so far has been slapped, WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SLAPPING,
One of my things in literature is upsidedown castles, I'm not entirely sure where this comes from, Maybe sitelinkCastlevania: Symphony of the Night Maybe sitelinkBlood and Honor by Simon R, Green
side note, I am writing this inas we await the next expansion pack for World of Warcraft: Shadowlands.
There is an upsidedown castle, I FLIPPED THE HELL OUT when they showed the upsidedown castle in the sitelinktrailer, Will it actually be cool ingame Probably not, but I am fangirl levels of excited over here.
Anyway, the castle is cool, but the story is weird, Why exactly areyearolds fighting for the Rose Bride OMG, Utena and Anthy and probably all the other characters are onlyWhut That makes some scenes in thesevolumes pretty dang creepy.
So I will just pretend I haven't seen their real ages and see them as what I think are their right ages,.
This was yet another fabulous, exciting, squee volume, Lots of action, excitement, new characters,duels, and some cute moments,
We get a few bits of answers, nothing complete yet, and I also have yet some more questions.
So many questions! Hopefully in the end everything will click together and we will find out everything there is about all the duelling, about Dios, about World's End, how the Rose Bride is selected.
Also will Utena find her prince since I don't believe anything about that cliffhanger in this volume.
Utena is sure getting all the boys after her first Touga and now Miki all the girls.
Which is just hilarious as she has no clue how to handle all the attention,
Anthy I like the girl but I want to hear her own opinions about things happening, But instead she all about Rose Bride following x and that she is just following y.
Come on girl! Speak up, Utena is fighting for you as well, :
I am not sure what to think of Kozue, she is a bit too clingy and I think she needs to learn to let her brother live his own life.
I am just flying through this story, I can still read volume, but the otherplus adolescence will have to wait until tomorrow!
first posted at sitelink com/ Muy bien Chapter: duels with Juri and Miki, A bonus chapter about curry! We find out precious little about World's End, but Touga has been keeping secrets from the rest of the Student Council.
I love the art, I love the vibes, I love things, ,stars Revolutionary Girl Utena as a series is a trip, The "chosen one by God" narrative is pretty goofy and the magic doesn't always make a ton of sense.
But the art is delicate and beautiful and I legitimately love that characters are practically colorcoded into their uniqueness.
The "tropey" things that would otherwise annoy me that every single person in the entire world ever has a crush on Utena, for instance are sort of buried in a story that's FULL of imagery and symbolism.
It's shockingly detailoriented and if you read carefully you'll find all sorts of little hints in the text to characters' motivations and such.
This is still really silly but the artwork is magic, Somebody gets slapped like every ten pages but they're also constantly challenging each other to duels so I guess it makes sense
I'll read another volume because this one was more fun to read than the first book but it's possible I'll sell the series before I finish.
I found this a pretty refreshing manga series, This is very good!! I am very confused about the city in the sky but excited for the reveal! I am loving Utena and Anthy Jury Arisugawa lacks the complexity, mystery, and depth of character she possessed in the anime when she first blazes forth from the mangas pages.
Nor is her conflict with Utena as layered and highly charged with chemistry, Jurys infatuation with Touga, her hot temper, and strictness werent as interesting as the rigid selfdiscipline and dignity with which she protected herself.
Her conflict with Utena in this is more of a romantic rivalry and jealousy akin to what Kozue shows in this volume.
Kozue isnt nearly as duplicitous, secretive, and cunning as she was in the anime, Much of the mystery is gone, leaving her with raw, unchecked jealousy she often expresses, Or perhaps I should say all of the complexity, mystery, duplicity, and depth evolved in Jury and Kozue later since the manga existed before the anime.
Touga carries the burden of beauty, mystery, and duplicity while pursuing Utena and his goals, Poor boy. Im not sure how sarcastic Im being, Just how deep is Touga in with Worlds End Utena is only just beginning to learn how deep Anthy is involved.
Is she orchestrating the fate of those involved with the duels along with Worlds End Is Anthy a victim or a villain Just why does the Rose Bride do what she does Why is she bound to the dueling game Are her goals changing due to her contact with Utena It was great watching Wakaba explode when Anthy said she belonged to Utena.
The keys to Anthys heart is still her brother, something she hints at, Utena and Miki did look adorable together in the various ways they were drawn, It was cute seeing Miki crush on Utena, who may be a little gentler with him than Anthy was in her passive aggressive sweetness and relentless devotion to the rules of the Rose Seal.
Nanami is nothing but a pretty picture with no appearance beyond that, leaving ChuChu with much more to do and more mischief to get into.
Just think curry. Some of the mishaps which Utena and Anthy got into gave them insight into each others hearts even though they have much to learn.
The artwork was stunning. Saionji manages to be both lovely and ridiculous, Jury leaps from the page in full splendor, radiating beauty and poise even if her character doesnt quite embody them as much as in the anime.
Excellent job in fleshing her out in the other medium, Saitosensei and BePapas, Miki and Kozue are quite adorable while Utena rules every page with her beauty, force of character, and charming naiveté.
Anthy, on the other hand, makes it quite a challenge to spot any glimmer of emotion behind her glasses and everpresent smile.
Every once in a while it shows or does it Shes perhaps one of the most interesting femme fatales in manga or anime with her lowkey approach and cunning.
Sometimes I wonder if her enemies have her more accurately pegged than Utena ever did, Utenas innocence and her concern for Anthy as a person may be the key to Anthy discovering that she is, indeed a person.
This is one of the most compelling themes in the series which continues to play out.
Utena, however, is bound by her own code as a prince, her desire to be a prince, and a desire to see her prince again.
These desires can be used to manipulate her, something Touga, Worlds End, and perhaps Anthy herself are learning to take advantage of.
Im rediscovering all of these things as I read, delighted to rediscover them, This series holds a special place in my heart, It once showed me how magical, mindbending, and genderbending storytelling can be, It reminds me to keep to pushing at the edge of possibility,
A badly written and modified retread of the anime plot, Characterization has been chopped up, plots are lessened by the weird increase in sexism and this is considering it erased the plot where Anthy's dress was supposed to dissolve, as a cruel jealous bit of bullying.
Utena is far more of a damsel than she was in the anime, The moments between Anthy and Utena are probably the best, at least when Utena isn't victimblaming Anthy, but that's kind of it.
The art at least gets somewhat better than in volume, and the plot is slightly more interesting, anyway, for all it's still compressed, cut, with more throwaway noncon and bad writing.
But it's still not as good as the anime and the film, Whole lot of slapping people in this series, not to be rude, but why the FUCK isn't Juri gay in the manga, it was literally the most intense and nuanced part of the TV series.
honestly I read allof these books indays and the only thing I remember for most of it is how shallow the whole thing is if Juri isn't gay.
