Zetman 1

Zetman #1

by Masakazu Katsura

Una extraña marca circular en el dorso de la mano de Jin coincide con la que tiene un misterioso de grandes poderes llamado ZET. Jin tiene agilidad y fuerza sobrehumanas, que utiliza para hacer justicia, pero que a veces no puede controlar cuando se enfada... Y un oscuro pasado: su padre adoptivo, cuyas aventuras iremos descubriendo, murió a manos de un monstruo. Con cierto regusto a las más interesantes historias de Batman, éste manga que homenajea a un gran cómic: éxito seguro.

A really strong start to the manga. Would recommend if you like superheroes, horror and gore.

Rating: 3.75/5

[Erika Worley · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a really, really amazing series, even if you only read for a few volumes. It's really gritty while also having a lot of beauty in design, scale, and character. Though it can be hard to tell at first, aside from the opening prologue scene, Zetman is the story of two "superheroes" and how they evolve into themselves. It also takes a hard look at where our morals come from, or how we choose to let them change and in turn shape us.

Leggere Zetman è come infilarsi dentro una storia di supereroi adulta e violenta, dove il confine tra bene e male non ha lente colorate ma è grigio, duro e pieno di spine. Invece delle classiche pose stereotipate, qui trovi Jin, un ragazzo che non è un normale umano ma un “Z.E.T.”, creato per combattere mostri terribili chiamati player, frutto di esperimenti che sono sfuggiti al controllo di un’organizzazione potente e oscura.

Il primo volume ti tira dentro con atmosfere cupe e combattimenti crudi, senza edulcorare nulla, e con un protagonista che non indossa una maschera scintillante ma combatte con tutto quello che ha dentro. L’azione è intensa, quasi cinematografica, e il tratto di Katsura è dettagliato e dinamico, perfetto per chi ama i manga di supereroi con un tocco realistico e drammatico.

Se da un lato ti aspettavi il classico eroismo “tutto bianco e nero”, qui ti trovi invece davanti a un mondo dove ogni vittoria ha un prezzo e dove anche chi indossa i panni del giustiziere lotta con dubbi, ferite e ombre interiori. Zetman è quindi una lettura ideale per chi ama i supereroi con un’anima complessa, tanta azione e quel tocco di oscurità che li fa sentire veri e intensi.

Reseña de todo el manga:
¿Qué nos hace humanos? ¿Qué es la justicia? Creo que la serie gira en torno a estas dos preguntas, manteniendo en paralelo a dos personajes, cada uno basado en una de estas preguntas, hasta cruzarles al final. El más humano no es humano y el más justo no es justo. Quién representa la oscuridad es el más puro, acabando como el malo muy a lo Batman, sin merecerlo, y quién representa a la luz acaba enloqueciendo, muy a lo Harvey Dent.
Me gusta mucho el antagonista principal, me recuerda mucho a Furuta, de Tokyo Ghoul. Un personaje turbio, calculador, manipulador y con una obsesión malsana por el caos, pero al que puedes encontrar cierto punto en sus motivaciones, pues no puede más que odiar a Amagi Corp. pero no puede congeniar con Evol ni convivir con los humanos. Al final lo que queda es provocar que caiga alguno de los tres. Muy buena obra, entretenida, madura y no creo que se haga lenta ni larga. Aunque criticado, creo que el final es acertado, aunque entiendo que haya gente que se quede con ganas de más.
El dibujo es muy bonito.

Borefest. The story has too few good things going for it. The serial killer has potential, but is likely supernatural, so that becomes a negative aspect. The main character is an innocent boy in a tragic setting that is going to destroy his already messed-up childhood. The mystery behind his existence and abilities seem to be the central elements moving the story forward in the beginning. All of these are not enough to keep me from drowsing off when I'm reading this mess.

The streets are plagued by a serial killer who cuts his victims in two in broad daylight. A boy named Jin with extraordinary agility is wanted by an interested party. He lives on the streets, helping the homeless. One of the older homeless men named Gorou is schooling the boy. Jin acquires information at a rapid pace, though he is not a fan of learning. A man possessed by a supernatural creature kills Gorou, leaving Jin alone. Thankfully, a streetwalker he helped takes him in. I don't care what happens next.

Genial. Historia con mucha acción. Un estilo de dibujo propio, detallado y dinámico. Me hace recordar a otras obras como Devilman, vol. 1 de la que parece haber tomado inspiración.

[RJ · Rating 3 out of 5]

I can't say a ton happens in this first volume. Set up for superhero sci-fi action to come, I assume. The story of a mysterious young homeless boy, it's a pretty standard story that I'll probably pick back up eventually.

what a strong intro, the art is very clean, n the mystery of jin has really intrigued me

[Hafeji A.D · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good artwork and story. But bit boring and things getting mid at the end. Might change later in the series.

[Sal Coraccio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reviewing an English version which come in at about 250 pages - it is a graphic novel/manga. One of the better series in the sci-fi/biogen genre; storyline and character depth (for the most part), great action, violent and graphic, sex and nudity is where it should be and fan service isn't overly gratuitous (mostly of the low-camera angle variety). Reading the second installment now and hoping the community has supplied the remaining 16 or so....

[Jol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Very cool. Took a bit to get into it, the first few chapters weren't that interesting and I almost stopped reading it. But once his powers begin to develop the plot moves at a much quicker pace and gets dark very quickly. The art was something that really kept me reading it through the slower parts and some of the creatures that appear are really incredibly drawn. The character development was well done.

[Nícolas · Rating 4 out of 5]

A história é familiar (ao que tudo indica): mutações genéticas que saem do controle. Este primeiro volume exibe vários núcleos de personagens aleatórios. Um bom começo, mas a história só engata mesmo no segundo volume.

[Magali · Rating 4 out of 5]

J'adore les dessins de Katsura *_*
L'histoire a l'air bien sympathique. En tout cas le 1er tome ouvre bien le bal :)
Ca change de ses shojo :)

Edición argentina, primera impresión. Si no me equivoco, más de diez años después se reeditó ya con el logo de Ivrea rojo.

I primi volumi sono discreti... poi si perdere e diventa serie adolescenziale.
