Reading Nakamura Asumiko's work has definitely been a wonderful experience. I encountered Copernicus no Kokyuu first and I found myself totally mesmerized by her unique way of story-telling! I don't think I've read a manga that explore themes of gender, sexuality, rape and abuse so vividly with a dark, deep and mysterious tone to it. It's definitely one that I do keep re-reading from time to time and it always gets me.

The reason I love this work is the reason I love most of Nakarmua Asumiko's dark works over her fluff works (not to say I don't like them, but her dark works are just more satisfying for me as a reader), she does not laugh off a serious situation. In BL it's common to gloss over or make funny an issue that should be taken with more severity. For instance in J no Subete, J is a cross dresser and perhaps Trans. He isn't a cross-dresser because he is envious of woman, he isn't a cross-dresser because he needs to be comedic

What CAN'T I say about this manga? (This will be a bit of a scattered review) It takes the reader literally everywhere, from Marilyn Manroe to some very dark places that at times can be very difficult to read for many. The characters in this manga are aplenty (for a Nakamura manga); it starts off taking place at the school from "Barairo no Hoho no Koro" which is a lighter story than "J" . I find that this manga, "Copernicus no Kokyuu" and "Double Mints" are some of Nakamura-san's darkest, purely because there is graphic rape scenes and many deaths. I would say that this

J no Subete is a rather interesting manga.
It’s a rather morose tale about a person named ‘J’ – yes, that’s the whole name – who supposedly looks like Marilyn Monroe and, apparently, likes to spend time singing dressing up as a woman. The manga presents his life in a rather matter-of-fact way; that is, there’s no great point or goal. You’re really just learning about the times and struggle of J. In that aspect, the manga does well. Initially, J comes off as this sort of ‘doll’ that seem to live mostly for attention without any real thoughts. Roughly ¼ through the manga, though, things changes ...

Recommended for: People in search of a manga that departs from the norm - a story set outside of Asia in the 50s/60s with a unique art style that explores some very dark subjects.
Not recommended for: The faint of heart, or people looking for a story that is light-hearted, romantic, fluffy, etc. There are a lot of aspects of this story that many people will find distasteful or unsettling - graphic sex/violence, rape, child abuse (sexual and emotional), etc, so be warned. This sort of content is put in the spotlight in this manga. -Enjoyment (5/10): This was an extremely difficult manga for ...

The strory has a especial theme, an adventures love story about our own self.
The main character has this theory of challenging himself of following the desire of who he really is, it has a suffering and a loving sides of affection about himslef/herself. The meaning of admiring someone and becoming ambitious and care free about it would show the real desire of who he/she wants to be. Living with no struggles and just enjoy the moment is what he is showing but that´'s not what he/she truley feels because at the very last he/she does not completely love himself/herself. Personally, I like how the story ...

This is a masterpiece.
If you like adult stories, this really is targeted at mature people indeed. Yes, there are many graphic sexual and abuse scenes, but those aren't for fanservice purposes, those scenes are essential to the story and add tragic feelings to the whole series. If you like yaoi, then you might also like it. Even though I can't really categorize this as such (since J for me feels more like a transsexual than a guy who likes men). The usual Japanese yaoi-trope is usually very unrealistic to the point that it sounds "stupid", most of them only serve fan service to the readers (well, ... |
