Umibe no Onnanoko

review 1: La primera parte de Umibe no Onnanoko me ha sorprendido mucho, sobre todo por la forma de abordar las relaciones juveniles que están sustentadas sólo por la atracción física y por el sexo casual haciendo que de cierta manera no exista un enlace emocional entre ellos. Sí eres ya un adulto o adulto joven, puede que varias de estas situaciones te pasaran, al menos desde mi perspectiva mucho de lo que se cuenta aquí es cierto, no sólo en las relaciones "banales" sino en los conflictos que puedes generar con las personas que los rodean, los celos, los momentos de soledad junto a una persona que compartes cierta intimidad, el descubrimiento de tu vida sexual y lo más importante la disposición que uno pueda tener para soportar este tipo de encuentros.No puedo dejar de re... morecomendar este primer conjunto de la historia, el cual termina de forma emocionante que nos deja expectantes a lo que pueda pasar.
review 2: I stumble across the works of Asano Inio-sensei purely by chance. Sometimes I did browse through graphic novels or comic books sections on a bookshop to take a breather from words. These recent years I noticed the changing trends or dogma of comic books for kids into comic books for all ages by looking at the theme that was set as the core of the storyline. From a hero who saves the day to the melancholy of adulthood and everyday lives. I wonder sometimes, why would they use a touch of reality as the core, such as which Asano-sensei did in his works. Why would you switch reality from 'here' to 'there'? And if it did switched, then which one should we believe as real?Erm. Anyway, I was fascinated by what Asano-sensei put in this particular work. Teenage angst, curiosity & dullness of life, in an atmosphere of growth that envelops most of his characters within his universe. I was a bit dismayed with some (if not many) of the profane illustration showed in the book, but in the end I can't help to feel mixed feelings of tenderness, curiosity, and disgust which ends with serenity and some 'aww' moments. I know it didn't make sense, but that's what I feel. It was raw and honest. It was pure teenage adrenalines and hormones. It kicked me in the head that I did have a rather dull and 'normal' teenage years. less
