[rosemelon82]

sometimes when you read manga or stories, you feel a certain way and you read lines and they hit hard and close to home because you thought of the same things and you wish that someone would have responded to you the way that that character comforted the other because it would make you feel like so much more than what you are right now

and reading my girl by sahara mizu was that experience god knows how old that manga is and yet somehow it is relevant and exactly how im feeling in certain situations its so mundane and still so bursting with the life that i wish was something like mine

i wish that someone encouraged me the same way that the masamune encourages his daughter and i wish someone apologized and talked me the way that masamune does with his daughter

it feels so free to be in that world and in any world made by such an amazing artist and storyteller such as sahara mizu

sorry about the grammar and punctuation sorry

ITSUYA-SAN (2012-2013) by mizu sahara

[movingshelves]

July 2023

Read this month:

Royal Assassin (part 1) by Robin Hobb

If it weren't for the plot with the Red Ship Raiders, I would have given up on Fitz and his behaviour around Molly. I also liked how Kettricken and Patience both went to the Buckkeep castle for a particular reason and found a place over time.

The Tea Dragon Society #1 by K. O'Neill

Tea dragons !

The Cloud Roads, The Books of the Raksura #1 by Martha Wells

I read it to see what Martha Wells had to offer in fantasy. I had a great time discovering the different people of this world, and I get why Moon has been compared to Murderbot.

The sunbird, The Lion Hunters #3 by Elizabeth Wein

As usual, it was beautifully written. Telemakos goes through much pain, as do most of the main characters in this series. At eleven years old, I was curious to see if Telemakos would be as captivating as Medraut with his past in the first book or Goewin and her political role in the second book but he did not disappoint. The ending is stunning.

The Storm of Echoes, The Mirror Visitor Quartet #4 by Christelle Dabos

After a false start, I finally finished the Quartet. It was all very mysterious since the last book in the series, but the investigation of Ophélie and Thorn was moving forward at a good pace. We got to see again Ophélie's and Thorn's families, which was quite delightful. I enjoyed how Christelle Dabos wrapped up the story and somewhat enjoyed the much-criticised ending. In hindsight, the whole plot of the series came as a surprise. I didn't expect it to go as far as what we were offered. I enjoyed the cast of characters a lot, but I feel like they got to a point where it would not add much to have a fifth book.

A Tail's tale #4 by Mizu Sahara

I fell in love with the drawing style of Mizu Sahara a long time ago. This final volume in the series ended beautifully, and I am happy to see how the characters changed from their teenage years to now.

Spy x Family #3 by Tatsuya Endo

Still enjoying it a lot. I am waiting to borrow the rest from the library.

Yona of the dawn #14-19 by Kusanagi Mizuko

I thoroughly appreciate the story with the small touches of humour amidst some spectacular moments. There is not much else to say, but I would definitely recommend this manga to anyone wanting to have fun with some travelers while witnessing how they choose to protect their country's population and borders.

Hana Yori Dango #9-15 by Yoko Kamio

It did not age well, but it still feels nostalgic.

* Tác phẩm chứa tình tiết tự sát nên bạn nào có vấn đề tâm lý cần cân nhắc

"Nghe nói vô số người mong hắn chết đi, còn hắn vật lộn trong chiếc hộp nhỏ này để chống lại những lời nguyền rủa ấy..."

Đó là lời giới thiệu về nhân vật chính trong Gã tù nhân trong khu vườn tiểu cảnh - một truyện ngắn trong Tôi và tôi của Mizu Sahara. Cuốn sách này gồm ba mẩu chuyện tách biệt với nhau nhưng đều kể về những con người phải hứng chịu sự nghiệt ngã của số phận.

Những nhân vật đó là ai mà lại đau khổ đến vậy? Trong Gã tù nhân trong vườn tiểu cảnh, đó là một kẻ bị xã hội và gia đình ruồng bỏ nên giấu mình trong góc nhỏ của căn nhà rộng rãi, và một học sinh gồng mình kiếm tiền trang trải cho cả một gia đình sống trong căn phòng sáu chiếu. Trong Nàng công chúa móc ngoéo, đó là một cô gái bị coi là túi tiền để những kẻ đào mỏ bòn rút và bội bạc. Trong Tôi và Tôi (truyện ngắn cùng tên), đó là hai cô bé, một người bị miệt thị ngoại hình nhưng có gia đình ấm êm và một người xinh đẹp nhưng lại phải sống cùng người cha nghiện game, mẹ tự sát vì uất ức.

Khác với Cô Itsuya và Chiếc đuôi heo (hai tác phẩm khác của Mizu Sahara) mang không khí dịu dàng khi có một nhân vật đóng vai trò cứu rỗi cho người còn lại, Tôi và tôi mang đậm sự bi thiết và u ám vì các nhân vật đều đang lần mò tìm lối thoát cho sự bất hạnh của đời mình. Thế nên hành động của họ nhiều lúc rất sần sùi và xấu xí. Họ gây tổn thương nhau rồi gây tổn thương chính mình như một cách để trả thù cho tất cả những bất công bản thân đang gánh chịu.

Nhưng Mizu Sahara viết Tôi và Tôi vẫn là Mizu Sahara lúc viết những tác phẩm ấm áp kia, nên tập truyện này dù đau đớn vẫn không hề tuyệt vọng. Những con người trong truyện đã sai lầm, cũng đã từ bỏ chính mình nhưng họ lại là những người khát khao đến tột cùng một cuộc sống bình yên. Vì đã hiểu quá rõ mùi vị cay đắng của thế giới này, họ chọn cách yêu lấy nhau và rìu nhau đến quãng đời tươi đẹp hơn.

Thế nên cậu đừng đi đâu cả nhé... Xin cậu đừng giết chết một tớ khác mà... Cố gắng lên!! Tớ yêu cậu lắm!!

ITSUYA-SAN (2012-2013) by mizu sahara

[disjunkt]

I promised @sevencolouredworld / @sumomoyumekalibrary photos of the (recent) French publication of Okashiratsuki about a week ago, so here they are! :D

To anyone not familiar with the manga, here’s an excerpt from my upcoming site:

Sahara’s latest series, Okashiratsuki (2018), brings out the recurring themes in her works best: The protagonist cannot acquire a tan, no matter how many hours she puts into outdoor sports, and so the people around her assume she doesn’t do sports, doesn’t go outside, doesn’t give her best. Understandably, she wants to acquire a tan to fit in with her peers, a wish that translates to: I want people to see the effort I put in, and to see me for who I am; I want what makes me me to be plainly visible, to leave no space for misassumption.  The male lead, on the other hand, has a pig tail that is literally depicted in the manga, but is otherwise an obvious allegory for a non-conforming trait, a difference that may be harmless, but is stigmatized. By depicting that trait playfully, yet treating the subject matter in all seriousness, Okashiratsuki is a powerful open narrative that pleads for more tolerance and genuine understanding in matters of disability, mental illness, disorders, sexual orientation, gender identity, body image and further.

Noeve Grafx is a relatively new publisher on the French manga market, but the attention to detail and care they put into their publications makes any volume a true delight and real treat. The dust jacket and undercover design is standard in French manga publication; the obi (the strip of paper around the volumes), however, is not. (All three are standard in the original Japanese publications, if I’m not mistaken.) The collector’s cards are in Noeve Grafx’ own design and come with each volume that they publish.

I really love what kind of content (visual and textual) the publisher decided to feature on the obi and cards, especially since I rarely see this kind of playful, artistic and poetic quality in bonus material! (E.g. in the German market, they tend to be more gaudy.)

Translations of the bonus material under the cut.

Volume 1

Obi (front): And what if, before being recognized by others, we started by accepting ourselves? Mizu Sahara returns with an ode to tolerance and difference!

Obi (back): A work to put in everyone’s hands!

Back cover: It all started with a pig’s tail. This is the story of a miracle that we experienced, the story of the unforgettable days spent together, he and I.

Collector’s card: Nachi Hiyama — “I want to be accepted as I am.”

Publisher’s paper slip: Thank you for having bought the first volume of “A Tail’s Tale”! You’ll see, it is very beautiful!

Volume 2

Obi (front): After the innocence of childhood come the torments of adolescence!

Obi (back): An evolving story with an ever-powerful message!

Back cover: The weird ones who see the good in what we hate about ourselves are the strongest.

Collector’s card: Nachi Hiyama & Kaisei Utsumi  — “My name was on there! For the very first time!” “Really? That’s amazing!”
