  《薇莉亞花嫁之旅》於四年前出版,書名和封面讓我當時對故事萌生興趣,作者另一部長篇連載《赤髮白雪姬》使我對「秋月空太」這個名字留下印象,儘管沒有很愛,但我那時候特別喜歡秋月空太筆下所設計的服裝,每一件看起來都相當別出心裁,符合奇幻世界觀設定,又有獨特的美感,忍不住心生嚮往,很想穿穿看。所以,發現這部短篇故事集時,就想說一定要找來看——話雖如此,直到前陣子在租書店書櫃上拿起來租借之前,這四年來我都忘了這件事情。

  《薇莉亞花嫁之旅》是一本讓我腦袋裡浮現鮮明色彩的漫畫,總共收錄四個故事,以個人喜好度來說,排名是〈薇莉亞花嫁之旅〉>〈龍之守歌〉>〈童話故事之筆〉≧〈銀世界的證明〉。關於後兩篇,單論背景、服飾、配件設計,其實我更喜歡〈銀世界的證明〉,一片雪白、銀光熠熠的魔法世界描繪得相當美麗,但女主角莉亞的個性設定有些單薄,固然男主角阿爾薩對她說過的話很動人,可以瞭解到他「拒絕魔法」堅持之下的體貼,但僅僅這樣就讓她拋棄自己過往的經歷,不顧一切回到阿爾薩身邊還是顯得動機有些唐突、不夠充分,分數就因為莉亞性格設定不足而稍微降低了一些。

  〈童話故事之筆〉是有著蒼翠夏日顏色的故事。儘管湧溪和烙緋相識時間不長,然而耿直爽朗的他意識到村人們引以為傲「受到神明祝福的土地」其實是束縛烙緋自由的卑劣契約才有的之後,就下定決心毀掉魔法陣,讓她重獲自由,劇情刻畫可以清楚地看見兩人互動逐步衍生的親近感,以及湧溪無意間碰觸到監禁烙緋法術時的震懾,向大哥問清真相時的悲痛讓他後來的破壞封印作為乍看一意孤行,卻能充分理解他的行動緣由於不願再讓烙緋受苦的溫柔。

  〈銀世界的證明〉、〈龍之守歌〉都給我一種冰涼的感觸,前者來自於莉亞、阿爾薩生活在冰天雪地裡的情誼;後者是奇斗、舒媛感情深厚卻不得不離別的寂寥。總覺得看著這兩個故事時,腦袋裡會不自覺的浮現我很喜歡的一首歌:〈My long forgotten cloistered sleep〉,我想原因一是專輯封面是寒冷冬季雪白天地的形象,二是部份歌詞和故事的某些安排有些相似之處,我才忍不住作此聯想。例如即使奇斗化身為龍,只要舒媛呼喚他,仍然會出現在她身邊,不再能和從前一樣時時相伴,雙方也一直珍惜著彼此。

  〈薇莉亞花嫁之旅〉則是橘色與薑黃色,讓我想到〈晴れすぎた空の下で〉這一首歌,總覺得跟歌曲有相似的文化氣韻,充滿鮮豔活潑的力量。薇莉亞、盧榭魯兩人是青梅竹馬,由於盧榭魯的大哥——吉魯失蹤多年,原本與薇莉亞家的婚約就由盧榭魯履行,但薇莉亞不滿意這種彷彿迫於無奈才送作堆的婚約關係,決定要去尋找吉魯,徹底做個了斷。看到開頭的發展,就一目瞭然這兩人乍看緊繃尷尬、實則互相喜歡的狀態。無論是薇莉亞嬌氣又直率的脾性,亦或是盧榭魯悶騷中蘊含著體貼的性情都深得我心,這兩人一步步地走向彼此,兩情相悅的過程看得我心裡甜滋滋的。我覺得盧榭魯並沒有很毒舌,頂多是刀子口豆腐心,薇莉亞在親自結束跟吉魯的婚約後,害臊又直爽告白的模樣很可愛,而盧榭魯也打從心底珍惜她的情意並給予回應的認真,這種明快俐落與立場平等的戀愛是我喜歡這小倆口的最大原因。

  服飾、配件描繪真的很美,像我自己就很中意薇莉亞、盧榭魯的日常服裝及他們的婚服,尤其是他們頭上的飾品;〈龍之守歌〉我很喜歡舒媛的鏈戒,我也喜歡他們衣服寬大的袍袖,感覺有點類似漢服或和服的元素,〈銀世界的證明〉我喜歡莉亞的大圓形耳環、七分袖洋裝;〈童話故事之筆〉烙緋的服裝順應編輯要求設計出暴露大片肌膚的款式,覺得漂亮但沒有很想要,倒是想綁一次烙緋的髮型,湧溪的裝扮不知怎的讓我想到《火影忍者》。

  回家後,我在網路上找到這一篇感想1,底下版主和其他網友的留言討論看得我很愉快。看到他們稍微比較了一下秋月空太與森薰的差異,以我自己來說,我對森薰《姊嫁物語》的畫風評價是濃麗、剛勁、端整、壯闊,有一種根植於土地的雄健氣息;秋月空太則是清透、淡雅、秀婉、流暢,有一種行雲流水般的律動感。兩位漫畫家從故事到畫風皆各有風情,但我同樣都喜愛著他們的作品。


1 ※【心得】四篇迥異的奇幻短篇 《薇莉亞花嫁之旅》‧秋月空太@書海無涯,有點懶得回頭,底下的討論熱情的討論看得我好開心喔。蠶寶寶的「蝴蝶結繭」也是我之前經常會逛到的部落格,可惜後來就沒再繼續更新漫畫感想了。

Hacía mucho tiempo que no leía manga.

Ayer por casualidad topé con una print de una de las obras de este autor y me llamó lo suficiente la curiosidad como para leerlo.

De entrada el dibujo me ha gustado mucho, es de mi estilo, el tema estético me ha entrado mucho por los ojos.

Me encanta el diseño de la ropa de ambos, es súper bonita y me recuerda un montón al estilo de la princesa Mononoke (una de mis películas favoritas, por cierto)

Es una historia corta y se lee rápido, ya que esto solo es un oneshot de pocas páginas.
La historia no es que sea la leche de profunda, pero Lucel y Vahlia me han gustado mucho, son muy monos.

Merece la pena leerla si te quieres entretener un rato.

No me ha disgustado.

Antologi manga one-shot yang meyakinkanku bahwa Akizuki Sorata bisa nulis cerita fantasi dengan sangat baik. Favoritku judul ketiga, soal perempuan yang terlahir punya sihir dan laki-laki yang membenci sihir, mereka ketemu di antah-berantah ketika musim salju; sungguh cerita yang menyentuh, magis, dan endingnya bikin nangis dikit :") Kuharap Sensei bisa beneran bikin manga fantasi yang panjang kalau udah tamat nulis Shirayukihime nanti.

Vallia's Bridegroom 2/5
Dragon's Lullaby 3/5
World Silver Proof 3/5
Fairy Tale's Brush 3/5

I didn't see much of Vallia's Bridegroom's story. Sometimes a story with little to no real problems can be a sweet to a heartwarming story, in other times it just doesn't work. Vallia's Bridegroom falls into the later category. Let's say Yuki Midorikawa's Forest of the Fireflies shows a heartwarming story with only problem near the end of the story, but it's got interesting development on the growing up characters. While Vallia's Bridegroom's story doesn't show much of a either story or character development with its only problem comes from a misunderstanding. For me it feels like a meaningless story as it ended.

However, Dragon's Lullaby, World Silver Proof, and Fairy Tale's Brush may fall into the former category. There is a recurring element in the three stories which makes them interesting, that is the divine powers in each of the settings: the Dragon Tenryu in Dragon's Lullaby, the magical powers in World Silver Proof, and the Holy Tree/Water Goddess in Fairy Tale's Brush. Each is closely related to the fate of the main characters, either a good one or a bad one. They struggled to deal with their fates, and along the way developed an understanding to each other.

I'm not sure if Sorata Akizuki sensei has a difficulty designing a (especially) female main character, since the female lead in this one-shot compilation that I think interesting is only the Water Goddess, and perhaps the witch Lia before the end of the story. While the others felt just like filling up a role of a girl who is badly in love with the main male character. Regardless, the overall story is quite entertaining with each their beautiful universes.

I really liked all four chapters even though there was something definitely lacking in the stories. I think that if each story became a series that it would be better. By the end of each chapter I wanted to know more details about the characters and the setting. Also the art was beautiful.
