Ultra Heaven, Tome 3

Rate this book
Kab se rend pour la première fois au “Drome”, un vaste complexe dédié à la méditation et aux expériences de l’esprit. Une fois à l’intérieur, il participe à une séance de méditation collective au sein de laquelle tout ce qu’on imagine se concrétise instantanément. Mais rapidement, un conflit éclate entre ceux venus pour s’amuser, et les “utopistes”, défenseurs d’une ascèse spirituelle radicale. Kab se retrouve malgré lui entraîné dans une véritable guerre de l’esprit, jusqu’à ce qu’interviennent les “masters”, des êtres si puissants qu’ils ne sont pas censés intervenir au sein du Drome. Pour Kab, les véritables ennuis ne font que commencer…

Keiichi Koike

17 books34 followers
Keiichi Koike (in Japanese, 小池 桂一) is a Japanese manga artist.

Born in Tokyo in 1960, Koike won the prestigious Tezuka Award in 1976, when he was 16.

His style, similar to Katsuhiro Otomo and Moebius, is marked by vivid representations of psychedelic experiences.

Drugs are an important part of his inspiration: "Except peyotl, I have tried almost everything: hashish, heroin, cocain, acid, magic mushrooms... From a strictly graphical point of view, however, LSD is most important by far..." He is best known as the author of manga Heaven's Door and Ultra Heaven.

His work was first presented to English audiences in 2016.

Quizá el mejor tebeo de inspiración dickiana (a partir del consumo de drogas y su efecto en el misterio de la mente humana, cuestionarse la naturaleza de lo real) que he leído en bastante tiempo. "Ultra Heaven" se sitúa en la intersección entre Phil Dick, William Burroughs, Moebius, el Frank Quitely de "Flex Mentallo" y el Otomo de "Akira", y tampoco hubiese desentonado en el Metal Hurlant de los setenta. Brillantez gráfica al servicio de una historia que argumentalmente no es la mejor atada ni llevada del mundo, pero la capacidad de Koike manejando el tiempo, el espacio y la reiteración para crear la sensación de paranoia y disolución de la realidad que emana de los viajes alucinógenos de los protagonistas, es de una virguería sensacional y se basta y se sobra no sólo para sostener el tebeo por sí sola, sino que se convierte en su principal atractivo. En el tercer tomo incluso aparecen combates espirituales que recuerdan a una combinación del shonen de batallas tipo Dragon Ball y las peleas del Dr. Extraño, más la espectacular aparición pop de un Ultramán lisérgico. En fin, un gozoso desparrame que he disfrutado muchísimo, y que, desgraciadamente, Koike dejó inconcluso.

That ending sequence saved the whole series i’m not gonna lie. Absolutely insane that there were hundreds of people screaming “to paradise to paradise!” in a beautiful field of flowers with the living god leading them to the way of this magnificent “paradise” and then BOOM knives are falling in from the sky and all these people start fucking cutting their wrists and stabbing their throats with our lead female character asking “IS THIS WHAT PARADISE IS TO YOU??” That was insane oh my god I got goosebumps dude.
