Utsubora: The Story of a Novelist

ウツボラ / Utsubora #1-2

by Asumiko Nakamura

Young author Aki Fujino appeared poised to making it big in the world of publishing. Her debut title UTSUBORA was being pitched about to a number of editors and at least one person felt it was set to propel her into stardom. However, before she could ever have her book published, the young woman was found dead. Some believe it was a suicide, but those close to her feel there is something more sinister involved in this young talent's death.
Aki's death has become something straight out of a mystery. Much like the story behind UTSUBORA, there is something more to Aki, Sakura and their relationship with an author named Mizorogi than meets the eye. And it is possible that the only way to solve this mystery may be to uncover all their secrets.

[Seth T. · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm a huge fan of Haruki Murakami. He may be my Favourite Author—if not, he's definitely part of a select handful of Favourite Authors. I haven't read all of his works but I have read eleven of them, some of them multiple times. When I was reading Wind-Up Bird Chronicle (for the second time) alongside my wife (her first time), we were so taken with the book that we named our as-yet-unborn daughter St. Wind-Up Bird (while she awaited a proper name) as mark of our affection for the novel and, conversely, for our daughter. When 1Q84 was released a couple years ago, I purchased it at release and promptly devoured it. When I began Utsubora, I suspected that Nakamura probably had done the same. By the end, I instead presumed simply that Nakamura read 1Q84, allowed it to filter into her cultural consciousness, and then wrote a completely different kind of story that lifts liberally—and perhaps accidentally—from the very large novel. There are overlaps.

It's not cheaty or plagiaristic or anything, but its several similarities did prompt me to initially hope that I'd be able to write a review about a book about a plagiarist that was itself derived a bit too closely from another work. I'd say it's almost a shame that I couldn't end up writing that review, but Utsubora is so diabolically interesting that I'm deeply glad for it. Even if I can't use this space as much of a meditation on the nature of plagiary.

Utsubora, unlike 1Q84, grew on me. With Murakami's novel, I was hooked from the start. I was seeing the fascinating properties of the novel in every page, every pericope. With Utsubora, I began at tepid. I thought, This is the run-of-the-mill thriller. Suspicious suicide. Femme fatale. The obvious, typical everything. A quarter of the way in, some of the book's intrigue began to surface and kept me invested until the conclusion. At that point I was still only at the point of thinking that the book was Fun. And of course, Fun is nice. There's nothing wrong with Fun. I just wanted more bang for my buck—after all, the editor's blurb on the back called it Nakamura's masterpiece. And initially, it didn't feel like a masterpiece. So I was going to write a review that said that.



Fortunately, I like to get my ducks in a row before I begin a review, so I started thinking about the story and I realized that I didn't actually know what had happened. Which is on-the-face-of-it ridiculous, right? I mean, I read the book all the way through—and pretty carefully. So I made my wife read it and we talked about it. There were so many holes in our grasp of What Actually Happened that I decided to reread the book, this time taking notes. At this point, I was guardedly impressed. In truth I was probably Schrödinger's impressed. I was simultaneously impressed and the opposite of impressed and would only become wholly one or the other upon finishing my notes. As I picked my way through that second read, carefully noting things that might have anything to do with putting together the pieces of Nakamura's puzzle, I realized a handful of things: 1) the author was meticulous in putting these things together in a way that actually reveals everything, 2) the book is about much more than just the thriller that it's camouflaged as, and 3) the book is not actually a thriller in any sense—even though it toys with the structure of the thriller.


[These are some of the notes I took.]

I won't say much about it because sussing out the book's plot is half the fun, but Nakamura juggles back and forth between events at will—so much so that neophyte readers might be wholly left in the dark. There is a complexity to her non-linearity that you might not notice 'til you're knee-deep in its morass. Nakamura will bounce between two or three or four events happening roughly simultaneously and then throw in a couple pockets from two weeks or two months or two years ago. It's a ton of fun if you're up to it. Mind-bogglingly challenging if you're not.

What surprised me about the book is that its story is really pretty mundane. Outside of all the narrative tricks, nothing is quite as diabolical as it seems. In fact, it may even be that Nakamura was so interested in creating a meditation on the existential part of any novel's author that she masked it in genre tropes so people would ingest something probably outside their usual range of reading. Utsubora feels sexy and dangerous, but it's really just a discussion of the nature of authorship.



Nakamura's novel follows the diminished career of Shun Mizorogi, a once potent author whose works have inspired a particularly loyal and invested collection of readers. Mizorogi has long lost his inspiration and, in an act of ill-conceived desperation, plagiarizes a young amateur's work, developing it as his own project, thereby winning renewed acclaim for what will be seen as his magnum opus. Utsubora begins with what may be the suicide of a young amateur, a woman with whom Mizorogi engaged romantically after plagiarizing her. The identity of the dead woman is in some contention, as all her particular features were obliterated when she dove headfirst from a high-rise. Then a twin appears.



It sounds kind of ridiculous. And it's actually more ridiculous than it sounds. But it's also very very good. Nakamura has created something tense and relentlessly worthwhile. It's Mature rating will make it a hard sell in a lot of markets (and it definitely earns the publisher's 18+ recommendation[1]), but it's a valuable book that merits the time readers will put into it. And that's the great thing. When I first presumed Utsubora to be some sort of lip-service homage to Murakami, I was only seeing plot points and thriller tropes. I thought Nakamura's book would merely be an amusing ride. Summer reading, something to lounge with poolside. But just as Murakami masks deeper examinations of culture and identity in his novels, so too does Nakamura. All the salacious bits about blended identities and sexual liaison actually work on a High Literary level as lightly veiled thematic reference to the central discussion of the Author and his place in, among, and above the work. The last couple years have each been great for comics, with a number of surprising and valuable works releasing in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Utsubora is one more release assuring that 2013 will be another stand-up year for the comics medium.

A Dissonant Note
There is one thing I haven't figured out that nags at me. Through all the notes I took (even to the extent of compiling a timeline of events to keep everything straight), there was one thing that I couldn't make sense of. It's potentially something that could outright break my interpretation. It's troublesome and I don't yet understand it. I've come up with an argument for it, a way to wedge it into my reading of the book, but I fear I damage the truth of things by how I massage the thing into my reading. So yeah, if you have any great thoughts about this one element, I'd love to hear them.

The thing that is tripping me up so badly is this: the cheesecakes.
____________
A Timeline of Events
I don't yet have a study guide prepared for Utsubora. I'd like to have one—at the least to help readers understand the plot well enough that they can begin to get at the meat which lurks within. Until then, I'll deposit my timeline of notable events here. Obviously, these are spoilers so if you haven't read the work, I'd recommend not going any further, even if you're the kind who doesn't mind spoilers. With that, click the below thumbnail to see a rich expression of the book's plot development:


____________
Footnotes
1) I never ever ever feel like a creeper reading books like this in roughly public spaces like Starbucks. Not even slightly. Yep, here's a page where two detectives are discussing the identity of a missing person with a landlord. Then they're talking about an author's bibliography. Young cop, old cop. Typical stuff. Turn the page. Oh hey, a close up of a finger in a vagina. A tongue glancing off a nipple with a string of sloppy sloppy makeout saliva. Turn the page rather more quickly. Phone conversation with an editor about when a particular chapter will be ready for submission.

Yeah. I don't feel like a weirdo at all. I read with my back to the wall these days.

You know, it's fine. It's fine and it really tried to do something but it didn't succeed (in my opinion!). I was lost for half of it and anytime I wasn't lost, I was bored or disgusted.

FANTASTIC.

I was absolutely blown away by this manga - my head still hurts a little bit from it lol.

I 100% agree that this feels VERY Murakami-esque! Any Murakami fan should go out and pick this one up if you want a very similar feeling story but in comic-book style!

MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY. CONTAINS GRAPHIC SEX SCENES AND A LOT OF FUCKING SUICIDE. LIKE I'M SERIOUS. DONT READ THIS UNLESS YOU'RE 18+

WOW. Talk about breathtaking! Utsubora is a complex, graphic and unsettling story about authorship which left me wanting more.

Ooo enjoyed this. Read it in a sleepy post- festival daze. The plot was slightly confusing (but in a good way) and it was a little saucy.

[Stewart Tame · Rating 4 out of 5]

I wavered quite a bit on whether this should get three or four stars--I don't do half stars. I figure three is average, a decent book, but nothing special. Four is above average, probably something I'd reread at least a few times. I finally went with four. So the book opens with a suicide. A woman seemingly jumps from the roof of a skyscraper. Author Shun Mizorogi is called to identify the body as his number is stored in her phone's memory. Dark things are hinted at. There's another woman who's the spitting image of the dead girl. And there are hints that Mizorogi's latest work is not his own. This manga excels at darkly hinting. I have a hard time taking it completely seriously. It's just a bit on the melodramatic side. Things do get a bit steamy in places. The over 18 recommendation on the back cover is not just for show. It also has the virtue of being complete in one volume, which is nice. It's an interesting read, if perhaps a little overly grim and serious about itself.

[Filip · Rating 4 out of 5]

My first proper manga!

This was an interesting, strange read. I burned through it at a quick pace, despite the length, about four hundred and fifty pages over two, maybe three sittings.

It's good. Oh, I should probably say more? Right. This is an adult story, and it makes use of sexual content--but it's certainly not pornographic. Most of the sexual scenes I wouldn't even describe as erotic; there's a sense of unease to them.

There's interesting stuff here, about success and about the "siren call" of plagiarism. That last line is what made me pick the tome up at my local library (support your local libraries, folks!). Suffice to say, it's a very different take from anything I could've expected--the beauty of a medium I'm inexperienced with.

Worth a read!

Elegaic, beautiful study in why writers write wrapped in a murder mystery entwined in a romantic drama set in a zen- like gallery of visual sequential poems and pauses.

[Michael Scott · Rating 1 out of 5]

I bought Utsubora in the Kinokuniya Tokyo library. I guess it was a typical impulse buy: the book looked interesting, it was placed on the special display table for selected manga, and its synopsis said something about a novelist. It also said "18+" on the cover, so I figured it must be a book less for adolescents and more for mature readers. I suddenly felt pandered to and thus immensely gratified to be able to buy it on the spot. Also, given how many words I'm spending on describing this impulse buy, you may have already guessed that I've been disappointed by the content, and that I have very little to say about this book, except "DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME [AND MONEY]!". There, had to be done.

Ok, now the story: an ageing author stuck in a writer's block is accosted by a young woman with an unpublished manuscript. He takes it for his own, polishes it, and tries to print it. Also, he screws her in other ways, which turns out to be consensual. There's little else in the story.

The storyline, however, is more intriguing. The manga begins with its timeline middle-point: the discovery of the young woman's body, after an apparent suicide. From then on, flashbacks and some sort of timeline where time progresses forward are competing for the reader's attention.

There is little "18+" stuff in this story, and I guess I did not understand from the start that it meant "sex that does not advance the story in the slightest". The whole plot reads like a cross between a procedural policier (cliches abound), a psychological thriller (not too bad), and a 1970s US porn movie---with plot zingers of the kind where the carpenter asks for a glass of water and ends up screwing everything in sight...---not that I've seen such stuff in my life.

Unfortunately, the characters are matchstick figures and the important plot twists are too thin to support to story. Thus, the procedural policier and the psychological thriller fail to produce an impression on me. This leaves the sexy stuff, but there I object to both quality and usefulness. My better half agrees with me on this point, after seeing the printed evidence during our flight back from Japan.

(Не ми харесва резюмето, което са направили на историята тук, в сайта. Струва ми се, че казва твърде много и е някак едностранчиво. Историята е много по-сложна от това).

"Уцубора" като усещане е странна химия между xxxHolic и творбите на Нацухико Кьогоку. Мистериозна, малко психиделична и леко скандална, странна и, разбира се, потискащо драматична, както се полагаше да бъде още от самото начало - начинът, по който е поставена историята просто не ти дава шанс да си помислиш друго.
От заглавията, които човек може би трябва да прочете поне още веднъж, такава е "Уцубора". Сигурна съм, че все още не мога да твърдя, че проследих всички линии достатъчно ясно. Но определено е горд представител на "класическия" японски роман.

Няколко години по-късно историята все още ми харесва много. Има и повече от отличен игрален сериал по темата, препоръчвам го.

[Ashkin Ayub · Rating 4 out of 5]

A plot is like a glacier.

And like a river born off the frozen depths of its glacial womb, a story, too, gets unfurled from deep within a plot.

The pages are the soils where she meanders and flows. The chaotic presence of a newborn torrent fizzles out gradually down the slopes. She stretches, yawns and grows, much like a story. Vast, impactful, wise.

Civilizations start thriving along her banks, and she grows aware of her own impact. Characters are steadily building themselves up in her wake. Dimensions, shades, emotions emerge and permute of their own accord. More characters are brought to existence. Conversations ensue. She gives in to the flow.

The book breathes.

Utsubora was not supposed to be any different. And to a great extent, it isn't. It had an intricately knitted plot and the characters, too, had their fair share of diversities(or should I say similarities). But for a book to etch its way into readers' memories, it needs to speak out eloquently. To draw an analogy, it is like listening to the sweetest burbles of a stream. The book stumbles in this particular aspect. Frankly speaking, the editing could have been ameliorated quite a few notches.

Putting this to a conclusion, I wouldn't be so harsh as to badge Utsubora as some lost potential. But somehow it feels that the wholesomeness has been reined in to a fair extent due to the flabby prose. There is ample room for improvement, and I really look forward to the author attending to it in his next work.

It's a 4 out of 5 from me!

Hay un reseñador de este manga que ha llenado tres pliegos con notas para poder entenderlo y aún así le han quedado cabos sueltos, ´nuff said.

[Hoàng Nguyễn · Rating 5 out of 5]

Today, in my Japanese class, I was lent the most astounding graphic novel I've ever come to read in my life up until now. Even though I'm a fan of Asumiko Nakamura for quite a long time and this book was her usual motif but she still got me. After all these years I thought I totally knew her tricks but no, I did not. In fact, I knew nothing at all.

The beautiful yet angsty world she lures her readers into, just to shuts the door completely. Locks us with a very bittersweet ending.

If you were born hers character? Congratulations, you just got your soul damned.

And... urg I have no idea how to say about this book, best leave it right here. Now excuse me while I go away screaming about Asumiko Nakamura's god-given talent, thank you.

[Nelson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is such a hidden gem. A real masterpiece. Recommended for fans of crime thrillers, (toxic) romance, and generally mind-fucky stories that keep you theorizing up until the end. This is a story about stories, or rather, their authors. It's a story about plagiarism and perception. It's hard to say anything more than the synopsis without hindering the experience. There's a lot to figure out, and a lot of possible angles to consider while reading, so I want to leave that experience as intact as possible. I'll leave it at that, otherwise I'll end up writing an analytical essay and I ain't got time for that.

Przepiękna kreska i bardzo dobre wydanie, co u Waneko nie jest wcale takie oczywiste (twarda oprawa sprawdza się idealnie). Bardziej niż fabuła tutaj robotę robi atmosfera i klimat, które przypominają mi trochę powieści Murakamiego, zwłaszcza przedstawienie postaci kobiecych. Spodziewałem się jednak czegoś więcej, dostałem tylko (może aż?) porządną mangę z niesamowicie piękną kreską. Niby polecam, ale jest to tytuł na tyle specyficzny, że zapewne trafi tylko do wąskiego grona czytelników.

[Marina Vidal · Rating 3 out of 5]

Thriller Murakamiano con una femme fatale sobre lo que significa la autoría. El manga está bien, pero me cuestan mucho las historias con femmes fatales y el erotismo en algunas escenas me sobra. De todas formas me parece una historia interesante.

2 stars.

This was much too graphic for my tastes; I had expected one or two slightly mature scenes since I knew it was 18+ but nope. I also just didn’t quite get or even like the story itself. I will agree with others and say it is very reminiscent of something Murakami would write but having that type of story presented in a manga format just did not work for me.

[Jasmine · Rating 5 out of 5]

4.5 stars.

Book:
Core to the book is the question of do readers love the author or their work? The plot is an extreme situation to explore that question. The writing was coded and unpredictable. It wasn't what I expected at all. There were many characters, all who were complex and each got a small moment to shine. Because of these moments I was invested in every character, and it was disappointing when a few minor characters dropped off instead of getting a clean wrap like everyone else. I felt confused at times, but it seemed more due to translation than writing. In the back there's a translation note that interested readers can look up characters...which seems like a tall ask, because I don't even know how I'd do that with kanji. There were many shots of the Utsubora manuscript, and I would have liked to have seen some of those snippets translated.

I did read the GoodOkBad timeline after reading (http://goodokbad.com/utsubora_timelin...), which helped clarify events. I went back myself as soon as I finished it, because there were important parts that were hidden in a single page or panel.

Art:
Beautiful art. Occasionally had to stare a panel to figure out what I was looking at (two tongues). The drawings were frenetic, and I didn't always know exactly what actions were taking place. To me that reflects the state of mind of the characters and is a boon since it's used in moderation.

The characters were fantastic, the art is beautiful, and the plot quite unlike anything I've ever read.

[daemyra, the realm's delight · Rating 4 out of 5]

The left and right eye see slightly different things. The one for which they stay put is your dominant eye. You thought you were seeing the same thing with both, did you? You're not.

Utsubora is an unforgettably sophisticated and sexy femme fatale noir fiction about a novelist whose life begins to unravel after he plagiarizes a work from an unknown author. Nakamura has a magnificent handle of each panel, so much so that a film could conceivably shoot the story using the graphic novel as a story board. I found this technique emotionally impactful when Nakamura would juxtapose a flashback that would be accompanied by dialogue from another scene.

For those who like to keep track, I'd suggest to jot down timeline events so that when you finish you can see where things land. I ravenously read this on a Sunday night. I most likely ended up confused more so than the author probably intended about the series of events.

Be warned, Nakamura intends to confuse the reader, although as some reviewers have noted, the ambiguity can, at times, feel self-indulgent than provide any additional value to the narrative. A minor point, in my opinion, considering the solid follow-through on the story's interesting premise. The ending was powerful, as an ending should be.

This was a very interesting story. I decided to read it because I heard it was like 1Q84, which I greatly adore. I really enjoyed this book. It was so interesting and twisted. I didn’t understand everything that was going on but the story and characters kept me so interested. I really loved this book.

[Aleksandra · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a very unusual (for me) read. Comparing to Classmates and Maiden Railways, this Asumiko Nakamura manga feels different. It’s an adult suspense standalone, the publisher calls the manga “suspenseful, intelligent and sensual”. I agree with these descriptors. However, I did not have a reason to care, I was distanced from the story, the woes of the author who plagiarized a young woman and the consequent tragedies didn’t interest me. Without doubt, the artwork is beautiful, I love Nakamura’s style so much.
I’m happy my library owns this bindup, I will be for sure reading other books by Nakamura, they fascinate me and I want to see what else they have to offer.

[Mona Kabbani · Rating 5 out of 5]

Disorienting, mysterious. I loved this manga so much. The narrative is non-linear, lending to this feeling of unstable ground. You have to put in the work to piece together the truth. But I think I did, and I think it took my breath away. Gorgeous artwork needless to say.

[The Black Geek · Rating 3 out of 5]

Although the story did not pick up until the third chapter, I was pulled in by the mysterious and untimely death of one of the faceless characters. With this said, as the relationships between characters began to unfold, I became lost and, at times, increasingly frustrated. Some characters were fueled by obsession, some love, some by a bit of both....

Nakamura has a tendency to add interesting plot points and not fully develop them. It is not always clear who the villains or victims are in this story, but maybe that is the point. All characters are flawed seeking some type of redemption...

I only recommend this book if you really, really liked that movie 'Inception'(2010)....it will probably give you the same feeling.🧐📚

[#ReadAllTheBooks · Rating 4 out of 5]

This one took me a while to get through, partially because of school but also because it's kind of like Shrek and onions: it has layers. You can read through this in a rather quick and fast manner and still greatly enjoy the story for its beautiful artwork and story, but you'll miss out on a lot. I still don't know that I really caught everything the story was trying to tell me the first go round, so this is definitely one to pick up repeatedly and re-read.

The whole layers and symbolism in the book might make for some frustrating reading occasionally. In many cases Nakamura is so caught up in trying to tell the reader something incredibly deep/profound, that it gets a little irritating. I don't mind having to think and I definitely think that the layers are what keeps this from being a more nondescript read, but sometimes I felt that this came at the cost of a little character development. We're thrust into this world where we don't really know much about our characters and while this is very intentional (as the message here is "what lies beneath... or does anything lie beneath?), I can't help but feel that I wasn't as emotionally invested as I would otherwise have liked to be. I was fascinated with this work, but more as a dispassionate observer.

All in all though, this really is a good work and one I'd recommend to anyone who wants to have a good read that makes you work a little for the immediate payoff and a little more for the complete deal. This will probably end up as one of the type of manga that never really gains any attention and will be a footnote in a manga encyclopedia somewhere, which is a bit of a shame. This really does deserve a little more critical attention. It'll never be a mainstream hit, but fans of slow psychological pieces will be likely to adore it.

"That misaligned dual viewpoint is what allows for a three-dimensional field of vision. That you have two points of view - subjective and objective. It's through sustaining the misaligned pair in tandem that our world becomes real."

Delivered via Royal Mail thank you, Book Depository, this one-volume manga by Asumiko Nakamura explores the visions of a writer being tangled in a crime. One has to be challenged in a non-linear writing style, in its gothic strokes of black and white, and in its sensual experiment of drawing a scene where an intercourse is not done, but still made it amorous.

The first read is a challenging, all the while I thought I was able to solve the mystery, but it left me with questions of WHYs. What is the relationship of the author with the woman? What is the relevance of the phone? Why is the police so attached to the case? Why is the editor so puzzled? The graphic novel gave a hangover, more than a day and compelled me to do a re-read.

The second read made me understand some of the shouts, and of reflections (or you may call it introspection, I guess?) I cannot spoil the reader much, one has to be curious enough to read the book and join the adventure. :)

[Sean O'Hara · Rating 5 out of 5]

Why is it that lame T&A series like Mayo Chiki and Kanokan get licensed by the dozen while artistic and literary manga like this rarely ever make it stateside, and usually go out of print before you even know they're on store shelves? Seriously, the characters in this are more complex, and the story more mature than most novels.

The story centers on Shun Mizorogi, an author once lauded as a literary genius but who's been coasting on his reputation for many years now. But his newest work, Utsubora, promises to be a return to form, both critically and in sales. The only catch is, he didn't write it -- he actually stole a manuscript that was submitted to a literary contest he was judging. His plan begins falling apart when he gets a call from the police to come identify a corpse, which turns out to be the body of the actual author, who committed suicide. While at the morgue, he encounters the author's twin sister and they soon begin a twisted, lie-fueled affair. As he gets more and more caught up in his deception, he has to allay the suspicions of the police, his editor, and a fellow author who lives down the street from him.

Ok, aquí Vamos.

Utsubora es la novela sobre un novelista en el ocaso de su carrera, a quien la policía lo contacta debido al suicidio de una joven mujer que lo tenía entre sus contactos telefónicos. Sólo a él y a Sakura Miki, otra chica que es idéntica a la suicida.

La historia es muy fuerte, profunda y, si no pones atención, confusa. Los detalles que desvelan el misterio son sutiles entre el mar de conflictos, y el final, bueno no es exactamente inesperado, es más bien el curso natural en una historia como está.

SPOILER. Tengo que decirlo: Para ser taaaan zorra me sorprendió que fuera virgen. Después noté que era obvio FIN DEL SPOILER

Si lo recomiendo si te gustan los misterios profundos, pero prepárate que está historia no es para cualquiera. Menores de 18 abstenerse.
