Synopsis

Even as butterflies ominously proliferate in town, the rumour of a mysterious creature lurking in the tunnel behind the school spreads among the children. When the body of Arie Kimura's mother is found by this tunnel's entrance, next to apparently human traces, the legend seems to be confirmed. Is the end of the world coming? In order to appease the wrath of the beast, the children decide to offer it a sacrifice: The unfortunate Arie, whom they believe to be the cause of the curse, is shoved into a well that leads to the Nijigahara tunnel—an act that in turns pushes Komatsuzaki, the budding thug who has carried a torch for Arie for a while already, entirely over the edge.

But this is only the beginning of the complex, challenging, obliquely told Nijigahara Holograph, which takes place in two separate timeliness and involves the suicidal Suzuki; Higure, his stalker-ish would-be girlfriend; their teacher Miss Sakaki, whose heavily bandaged face remains a mystery; and many more―brothers, sisters, parents, co-workers, teachers, aggressors and victims who are all inextricably linked to one another and all will eventually―ten years later―have to live with what they've done or suffered through.

Nijigahara Holograph by Inio Asano is a manga that by itself deserves several rereadings, it is a puzzle that travels through time in the lives of the characters and that advances or stops at turning points for them. It is dense to read, yes, but it never ceases to fascinate me.

The story is confusing, fanciful at times and mystical at others, and this is what makes it excellent. The basis of everything is a dream, a story, a legend that runs through the years and little by little gets into the depths of each one, letting out the worst of them.

The crudeness of the ...

Mixed Feelings
If you are reading this for the vibe and a nihilistic atmosphere this could be what you are looking for. I expected something more plot-driven and thought the Mangaka tried to put too much in too little space. The story didn´t click with me.

Nijigahara Holograph also felt too edgy without enough substance to support it. I kinda feel like if you want to experience this type of vibe Black Hole (a comic not a manga) does the same way better. I´d also argue that this kind of felt like Gantz. Be it the art style pannel layout or just the vibe. If you liked ...

“La muerte de una inocente afectará a sus seres cercanos por el resto de sus vidas” es una sencilla sinopsis del segundo trabajo de Inio Asano. Usualmente descrito como un rompecabezas donde sólo la constante relectura nos brinda algo de claridad en entender qué ocurrió, por qué sucedió y qué terminó implicando para los involucrados.

Es una estructura similar a su anterior obra, se diferencia en que no hay narrador único sino que es un grupo cerrado de personajes, cambiando de narrador ...
