My opinion about Manga Artists

I already wrote my opinion about my favorite manga artists on my Twitter (mary_shinonome_) and now I decided to write it on my blog. And a little later I will try to supplement this list.

Warning: Everything that I will say it’s only my opinion. You also can join to this discussion and say your opinion about your favorite via reblogging.

Inio Asano

I have great respect and admiration for Asano-san and his works. My meeting with his works happened by chance, but I immediately drew attention to his drawing style, which reminded me of pictures from children's books. But Asano's "children's books"are not intended for children or even for adults, but for people with a mature mind who are able to understand what is happening. From his works I read about teenagers, their daily life and experiences, and I think that some people will find themselves in them.

Hiroya Oku

My feelings for Oku-san are like Love/Hate. I like his drawing style, which can express all the emotions of characters and I like that he isn’t embarrass about describing all the violence and blood in details. Also I like how he starts story in his works, but then something happens that usually annoys me. The plot begins and gradually begins to drag on. I’m not a person who really like action, because plot, characters and their development are important things for me and when I read «Gantz» I was annoyed when in many chapters of 20 pages only battle scenes were described. And I also was very disappointed with his latest work "Giant". But despite this, Oku-san is still one of my favorite manga artists.

Hajime Isayama

Maybe someone will disagree with me, but I really like Isayama-san. After the end of “Attack on Titans”, many became disillusioned with him and awarded him the title of the main enemy of the fans. Perhaps the ending was not ideal (but as for me, this is the correct ending of the story for which you feel neither joy nor sadness) but this did not change my opinion about all of his work in general. “Attack on Titans” is considered one of the most exciting and thoughtful works in the world of manga. And the most important thing is how Isayama-san revealed in his work the problems that exist in our world and in our time. And he is also a genius troll who knows how to play on the feelings of readers (and it seems funny to me). Therefore, I will look forward to his new works.

Junji Ito

I admire Ito-san, and even more admire his stories and drawing style. As with Inio Asano, his drawing style is unique. His style reminds me of old American comics or old horror movie posters, and it’s not so similar to that of classic Japanese manga. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why his work attracts many people around the world. But also many are attracted by the way he presents all the horror and mysticism in the plots of his works. A person who is just starting to read his works, perhaps the first thing he will experience will be disgust (it also depends on which work you started with), but over time, when you read more, you begin to feel more imbued with this chilling atmosphere. And you start looking for true meaning and morality in them. But I can only say one thing, you will not be able to read his works in one day, because sometimes it has a heavy effect on your brain, and you will feel mentally tired (At least that's how it was with me).

On Kodansha US’s New Tagline

One of the North American manga publishers recently got a new revamp as Kodansha Comics became consolidated into a more centralized Kodansha with a new logo and also a new tagline.

That new tagline is “Inspire Impossible Stories.” I know for most fans, taglines are taglines. But I’m somehow emotionally drawn to it due to my own relationship with Kodansha-published manga series for more than a decade.

Where do I start with this? I think the 1st Kodansha series I ever truly read was Chobits when Tokyopop released it back in the day. But the first actual Kodansha-published series that really drew my interest was Great Teacher Onizuka. After watching all of the anime in the early 2000s’, I jumped in on the Tokyopop volumes. I still consider GTO to be one of the best “high school teacher” anime/manga series of all-time. Now that I think about it, GTO did something very notable and maybe impossible compared to a typical Shonen Jump story. It was a story about a former young adult gangster who decided to be a teacher in a high school class full of troublemakers. GTO went deep into real-life issues plaguing youth in high school. It made caring about the mental health of youth a thing before it really became a thing this past decade.

Also, I just remembered that Initial D (which is another Kodansha title) was a series I loved when I was a young adult. This is starting to sound like a Tokyopop appreciation post, but I know who the real MVP is here.

I remember a famous line in Gintama about Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine. There’s a code in the Shinsengumi that states all members should read Magazine instead of Jump.

“Shinsengumi Regulation #17: No manga other than (Weekly Shonen) Magazine are allowed to be read within the confines of the station.'”

While it’s a joke poking fun at Magazine for publishing stories about delinquents and appealing more to older youth/young adults, it felt like Jump was for babies.

I browsed issues of Shonen Magazine in the past at a Japanese comfort food restaurant many years ago and it was full of series that I didn’t recognize or couldn’t get into. I did recognize a few titles like Fairy Tail and Air Gear, but the fact that it also had pin-up girls on their covers from time-to-time made me realize that Magazine was different from Jump. I remember one issue had a large fan poll on which AKB48 girl was the best.

A few years ago, Kodansha interviewed Hiroya Oku of GANTZ fame, who drew Inuyashiki for Kodansha’s Evening (a seinen manga magazine). When asked about how he came up with the idea of having a robotic alien superhero in the form of an old man, Oku mentions his former publisher, Shueisha, while describing his initial thought process. He says,

“When I was working on GANTZ on Shueisha’s Young Jump Magazine, I was more concerned about the popularity and sales figures of my manga. In that magazine’s culture, there’s an unspoken rule to make the main characters visually attractive. When I started work for Kodansha’s Evening (the magazine Inuyashiki is published in), there was more freedom. So I suggested going with the not-so-good-looking teenager as a main character. They green-lit the idea, so I started drawing the character in the manga.”

Let me put this out before we go a bit further - I love Shueisha manga series. I grew up on Shonen Jump. Their material always seems to captivate me somehow. They kept me interested in shonen for a long time. But because the fact shonen is the mainstream genre, I might get sick of it when the time comes. It’s why I also started following Young Jump series since they sounded more appealing. However, I do notice that with series like Tokyo Ghoul, Kingdom and Golden Kamuy, to name a few, the magazine is filled with stylish-looking characters that have greater appeal to a younger audience despite whatever mature tones they have.

But when it comes to Kodansha, their manga series are mature from the start and I don’t mean in a fanservice kind of way. Can you see series like A Silent Voice or Your Lie in April published in Shonen Jump or one of Shueisha’s other notable magazines? I'm not sure I can. It’s also noted that Hajime Isayama, creator of Attack on Titan, tried to get his series into Shonen Jump. Shueisha thought the series was a bit too dark for their tastes, and Isayama decided to try out for Kodansha instead and that’s where he’s been ever since as the series is published in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine.

So why appeal to that older shonen demographic? Probably because life isn’t some battle manga with friends that are there for you every step of the way. Hard work doesn’t always get rewarded. The idea of victory can also get very gray. You see more delinquents than overpowered ninjas/pirates in life. While Fairy Tail and The Seven Deadly Sins are two of Kodansha’s popular “battle manga” series ever, both series seem to subvert some of shonen’s popular tropes and/or have a certain edge to them. What’s funny is that both series involve a bar/pub/restaurant location where all the heroes meet up. Many older teens start to hang out in places like restaurants as their after-school hangouts.

There’s a lot of Kodansha series that I feel seemed impossible to tell for other publishers. I can think of titles like Tokyo Revengers, Blue Period, Land of the Lustrous, Witch Hat Atelier, Cells at Work!, Knights of Sidonia, etc. The lineup of shojo and josei titles is also incredible as well (Princess Jellyfish, Wotakoi and Chihayafuru are the best examples I can give here) Hell, Akira is a Kodansha title that’s still groundbreaking and evergreen as ever. Their tagline, “Inspire Impossible Stories,” makes sense as while it applies to their U.S. operations, a lot of job hunting students in Japan really want to work for Kodansha Japan.

While Shueisha does have a good share of its own “impossible” stories (Chainsaw Man was a title that impressed me), Shonen Jump is mainstream-friendly and safe to a certain degree. The stories I discovered through Kodansha made me realize how big the world of manga really was and what kind of stories were possible. While they may not have the biggest fandoms compared to Shonen Jump series, I can feel a certain vibe when I read Kodansha-published manga in that any mangaka working under them has their vision unleashed in a way that pleases both readers and the mangaka themselves. There might be a certain bias though as I’ve gotten to see editors from Kodansha Japan in person when they showed up for manga-related events in my area.

Kodansha showed me that there’s more to the manga world than just Jump. That’s why I love their new tag line of inspiring impossible stories. I think we need more exposure to new kinds of stories that speak to all kinds of people. I know people don’t like different stuff outside of what they usually like, but I believe those differences are beneficial in learning how to appreciate nuances in life when one gets older. Being challenged isn’t as frightening as it sounds. Those differences are trying to tell us something about ourselves. For me, it was “I really want something that isn’t about fighting super-powered villains and rivalries all the time.”

I have ambivalent feelings about my life during my 20s’, but Kodansha-published stories helped me appreciate possibility at the time when I didn’t feel there was anything to keep me going. So go on, Kodansha. Keep putting out impossible stories that are thoughtful and inspiring future generations of manga readers. Tell the world that impossible is nothing.

Darwin's sport NEXUS nine. Darwin's Game Release date: January three Director: Yoshinobu Tokumoto Animation manufacturing: Nexus If you have been to pass Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman's adrenaline-charged social thriller Nerve with the mystery-driven extremely-violence of Hiroya Oku's Gantz, it would in all likelihood look something like Darwin's Game. Based on artist "Ginko" and author Yuki Takahata's manga of the identical call, the anime centers on 17-12 months-old Kaname Sudo, who, after accepting an mysterious invite from a currently deceased friend, is thrust right into a lethal supernatural bloodsport regarded only as Darwin's Game.

The speak may be frustratingly obtuse at instances, with crucial terms like "peaks" and "valleys" thrown out of left area with little if any formal clarification, and the initial episodes can be a piece tough to follow with regard to what is being visible or perceived with the aid of whom at any given moment. Hang in there, though -- it's a story that progressively makes greater sense the longer it is going on and rewards the nearer you pay attention. And barring even that, it's nevertheless really worth a look ahead to the psychedelic visuals on my own. Think of it as a greater freakish take on Christopher Nolan's Inception by way of way of Philip K. Dick's Ubik. Available on:Amazon Prime

Somali and the Forest Spirit Release date: January nine Director: Kenji Yasuda Animation manufacturing: Satelight If your tastes veer greater towards the whimsical fare of Studio Ghibli than explicitly movement-oriented titles, Somali and the Forest Spirit is a great choice.

Legoshi's primal and emotional awakening is exacerbated through his status as a carnivore, forcing him to confront the terrifying query of whether or not what he feels for Haru is simply his instinctual urge to seek and kill, or some thing more. From a technical and creative viewpoint, everything about Beastars is masterful. From its without a doubt nuanced depiction of a society frayed among one of a kind competing castes of carnivores and herbivores, to its inspired feel of composition and lighting, Beastars is an absurd, terrifying, horny, and heartfelt anime that stands head and shoulders above the %.

Conclusion:

Brimming with meticulous nods to a number of the medium's best creators and a mischievously meta experience of creativity that'll have even the most stone-confronted of visitors grinning ear to ear, it's the kind of show you could simplest anticipate from the likes of Masaaki Yuasa (Devilman Crybaby, Ping Pong the Animation, and many others.) and the crew in the back of Science Saru. Top that with an infectiously trippy identify topic and score courtesy of rap duo chelmico and experimental manufacturer Oorutaichi and you've got one of the maximum memorable and hilarious anime of the 12 months.

Kanata Hongo’s path until he became『Attack on Titan』’s Armin

2016年4月23日更新 / source : http://ciatr.jp/topics/15814

Actor・All About Kanata Hongo

Ever since he was young, Kanata Hongo is active as a kid model while he was still in kindergarten. After that, he signed a contract with Stardust Promotion, became a main protagonist and his activities in showbusiness continued.

Also, he seemed to like sweets, he is said to be eating gummy and potato chips always. He also prefers staying indoors, spending the whole day in bed or making a Gundam Plamodel for 20 hours. Because he’s very keen with cleanliness, he prefers to stay at home and not go out because he thinks that there a lot of dirty things such as breath, exhaust gas and dust of people.

He’s also not good with ultraviolet rays so when going out, a sunshade is a commodity. From his slim appearance to his conviction, his unique lifestyle is really surprising.

Also, the both of them are actors ever since they were kids so they are good friends. They even have nicknames「Kanati」「Ryuu」for each other. They both co-starred together in the drama『Aikurushii』last 2005.

Attack on Titan, a new big step as an actor!

It is not an exaggeration to say that he’s one of the biggest actors that played many roles ever since his debut, including the 『Attack on Titan』live action project. Drawn into a unique closed world surrounded by walls, this work is the largest among all of Hongo’s appearances.

And, he played the role of Armin who supports the main character, Eren, in both the first and second movie. Making judgments on what to do in the future in a calm manner, the role is perfect for his appearance.

He appeared in the popular manga turned into drama『Akagi』！

Started broadcasting in SKY PerfecTV! last July of 2015, he appeared for the starring role of Shigeru Akagi based on a Mahjong manga by Nobuyuki Fukumoto who has fans worldwide. He is enthusiastic about this project and dyed his hair silver as soon as it was announced.

Always popular everytime his novels are turned into dramas, another of Keigo Higashino’s novels was brought into life. The drama『Whose is the cuckoo’s egg?』is a sports drama that started airing last March of 2016.

The story is about the Father, Hiromasa Aketa, and daughter, Kazami, who came from a family of top skiers for 2 generations. However, special genes showing high exercise capacity are found from Kazami. Eventhough the research institution requested for them to cooperate on the research of genetic genes, Hiromasa refused. That is because Kazami has a secret in birth...

Kanata Hongo played as a boy who has leukemia , Fumiya Kamijou. Though it hasn’t been revealed much, he seemed to be the key person of the story.

With『Akagi』which was premiered to 150 countries and regions and 『Attack on titans』which has a lot of fans worldwide, because of his appearances in large projects, Kanata Hongo’s popularity will definitely spread from Japan to the whole world.

From a popular game turned into anime, Kanata Hongo will also participate as a voice actor of the role Ryota Mitarai in 「Danganronpa 3 -The End of Hope’s Peak Academy - Future Edition」and will be broadcasting starting July 2016. Let’s look forward to his future success!

4 Tựa Truyện Có Bối Cảnh Tăm Tối Xứng Đáng “Nối Gót” Huyền Thoại Berserk

Berserk là một từ gốc Bắc Âu, mang nghĩa là “cuồng nộ”. Chàng thanh niên Guts và hành trình phi thường của anh đã thành công đem lại cho người đọc những cảm xúc mãnh liệt về tình người, về thiện ác và những hận thù.

Bài viết sẽ giới thiệu một vài tựa truyện cũng có những câu chuyện nhuốm màu đen tối của giết chóc và thù hận tương tự như Berserk.

Berserk

Đây là một bộ manga giả tưởng đen tối do tác giả huyền thoại Kentaro Miura sáng tác kịch bản và vẽ minh họa. Nội dung truyện Berserk được xây dựng trên bối cảnh Trung Cổ Châu Âu với nguồn cảm hứng về một thế giới đen tối mãnh liệt.

Nội dung xoay quanh nhân vật chính là Gutz, một người lính đánh thuê đơn độc và Griffith – một viên chỉ huy của đội quân đánh thuê gọi là Đội Quân Diều Hâu. Cốt truyện của Berserk thấm nhuần sự cô độc, tình người ấm lạnh và bản chất thiện ác bất phân của nhân loại.

Cả bản manga và bản anime của Berserk đều nổi tiếng về nội dung bạo lực và nhiều yếu tố tình dục cũng như tôn giáo và ý thức hệ.

Gantz

Gantz là một tựa truyện shounen được sáng tác và minh họa bởi họa sĩ Hiroya Oku. Manga này đã có bản chuyển thể thành anime dưới sự chỉ đạo của đạo diễn Ichiro Itano, anime do hãng phim Gonzo thực hiện với tổng cộng 26 tập phim, chia thành 2 mùa. Ngoài ra tác phẩm này còn có phần phim điện ảnh kết hợp sử dụng đồ họa CGI tên Gantz:O phát hành vào năm 2016.

Tựa truyện Gantz là một câu chuyện nhuốm màu máu với những cuộc chiến đối đầu trực diện gây cấn và đen tối, khắc nghiệt, và từng được cảnh báo là truyện có chứa nội dung bạo lực, tình dục, tương tự như Berserk. Xoay quanh hai nhân vật chính là Kei Kurono và Masaru Kato, cả hai người đã không may gặp tai nạn tại một trạm tàu tốc hành.

Sau khi tỉnh dậy, họ phát hiện bản thân đã là một phần của trò chơi “semi-posthumous” (tạm dịch: giữa-sau cái chết), ở đó, họ và những người vừa qua đời khác buộc phải chiến đấu với các sinh vật ngoài hành tinh được trang bị những món đồ chơi công nghệ vô cùng tối tân.

Fullmetal Alchemist

Truyện Fullmetal Alchemist đưa người đọc đến một thế giới giả tưởng với kỹ thuật khoa học tiên tiến nhất là giả kim thuật. Bên cạnh đó là hành trình đầy nhân văn, tình người và triết lý sống sâu sắc về bản chất của con người, về những âm mưu và các bức màn che lấp tội ác rùng mình.

Hàng loạt sự kiện mà hai anh em Edward và Alphonse Elric phải đối mặt hoàn toàn có thể gợi người đọc nhớ về chuyến hành trình đầy máu và thương đau của Gutz và Griffith trong truyện Berserk.

Nội dung của Fullmetal Alchemist kể về cuộc hành trình chông gai với mong muốn đơn thuần ban đầu là hồi sinh người mẹ yêu dấu, bà đã mất vì một cơn bạo bệnh, bỏ lại hai anh em trên cõi đời. Sau đó là những cuộc đánh đổi khắc nghiệt để giữ lại tính mạng cho những người thân duy nhất còn sót lại của mình.

Attack on Titan

Con người dường như nhỏ bé và hoàn toàn yếu đuối trước lũ titan với sức mạnh không gì địch nổi. Họ đã sống hằng trăm năm trong những bức tường mà không hề biết gì về sự tự do, họ yên ổn và tin vào nền hòa bình đang có.

Cho đến một ngày, những bức tường bị phá hoại và nhân vật chính của truyện Attack on titan, Eren Jaeger chứng kiến mẹ mình bị titan ăn thịt. Sự phẫn nộ dâng lên tột đỉnh và cậu điên cuồng tìm cách trả thù. Sau đó cậu cùng hai người bạn thân thiết đã gia nhập Trinh sát đoàn, trở thành người những người lính với khao khát trả thù cuồn cuộn trong tâm trí.

Những người lính của Attack on titan phải chứng kiến sự tàn khốc mỗi ngày, chỉ mới đó th��i mà hàng tá đồng đội của họ, người cùng ăn cơm, đứng cùng hàng ngũ đã ngã xuống, thê thảm, không toàn thây và bê bết máu me, tứ chi vương vãi…

Nỗi kinh hoàng tột độ và bầu không khí trầm lắng nặng nề bao trùm của Attack on titan chắc chắn sẽ không làm cho fan của bộ truyện huyền thoại Berserk thất vọng!

Tokyo Ghoul

Đặc sản của Berserk là bạo lực, máu me và bóc trần bộ mặt xấu xa của con người, thì ở truyện Tokyo Ghoul, độc giả cũng sẽ tìm được những thứ tương tự. Ở đây, con người không là sinh vật thượng đẳng nữa mà trở thành con mồi cho giống loài vượt bậc – Ghoul.

Thế giới của Ghoul và con người hòa lẫn vào nhau, con người ở đây cũng nhỏ bé và yếu đuối, song sự xấu xa và ti tiện thì không từ chối bất kỳ cá thể nào. Để tồn tại – con người cần mưu mẹo, để thống trị – ghoul cần tàn sát. Tất cả đều vì mục đích dẫn đầu mà không ngừng mưu tính, chiến tranh, tạo nên bầu không khí tăm tối bao trùm cả tác phẩm.

Ra đời sau Berserk nhiều năm nhưng những tác phẩm kể trên hoàn toàn có thể trở thành tựa truyện mang tính kế thừa, bởi tác giả của các bộ truyện này đều đã rất xuất sắc trong việc bóc trần sự xấu xa bên dưới những lớp vỏ bọc đạo mạo, thành công làm dâng trào sự phẫn nộ trong lòng độc giả.
