Mechanical Clock Blueprint

Field rainbow - Nijigahara Holograph -



300 p.; 9.90EUR; Planet Manga

speak of this manga is almost as difficult to read.

It 's impossible to grasp all the nuances of narrative, graphic signs, the signs of style and metaphors present in it after one reading, but it is equally impossible for me to talk about his players!

Inio Asano likes to mix Japanese culture and post-modern social phenomena, can masterfully visually to make the eternal dichotomy of internal society of the rising sun: the conflict between ancient and modern, popular belief and everyday life, including natural society and industrial society.

For this reason it seems to me just state as one and only star of the Holograph Nijigahara time as a social and existential malaise to which no individual can escape.

NH's characters have difficulty communicating their emotions, they feel the misunderstood and can not help but show their paroxysmal IO through gestures such as sexual or physical violence rather than dialectic or gesture. These characters are prisoners of time cycles socially seen as fleeting and impossible to internalize, are forced to live by the rules imposed by the cultural environment in which they live in total misery. Who can live out outside the box is feared, marginalized and abused because it can be the cause of destabilizing the social order obtained.

All victims of the same system, all unable to understand the beauty of a world where everything seems to last no more than a moment. ... Like a beautiful rainbow after a thunderstorm, as joyous and vibrant colors of the wings of a butterfly whose life will never last long enough!

Inio Asano shows us his vision of a society Japanese cynical, violent and disillusioned but still leaves open a window of change that occurs only in the last table, which shows the cyclical nature of time - combined with the symbolism of the butterfly - makes the idea that small changes in initial conditions can over time lead to large changes in the behavior of individuals and therefore the whole system (chaos theory).
