DALL'AUTRICE DI BANANA FISH! Sei fa ritorno in Giappone per riprendersi la vita che gli è stata rubata, ma può un prodotto dell’ingegneria genetica ribellarsi ai propri creatori? E chi è davvero Rin, il ragazzo che sostiene di essere suo fratello? La trama intessuta da Akimi Yoshida si infittisce…
Akimi Yoshida (Japanese: 吉田秋生, Yoshida Akimi) is a Japanese cartoonist from Tokyo, best known for her manga series Banana Fish. Yoshida studied at the Musashino Art University in Tokyo and made her professional debut in 1977. Despite serialising her works in shōjo manga (girls' comics) magazines, most notably in 'Bessatsu Shōjo Comic' and 'Monthly Flowers', during the 80's she developed a visual style akin to the aesthetics of shōnen manga (boy's comics) of that era, contributing significantly to creating a bridge between these two traditions. This is particularly evident in her international best-seller Banana Fish (1985-1994), a thriller set in New York City blending action and homoerotic romance. Among her other major works are the series Yasha (1996-2002) and Umimachi Diary (2006-2018). Yoshida's comics have received a number of accolades in Japan, including three Shogakukan Manga Awards (1983 and 2001 in the category 'shojo', 2015 in the general category), an Excellence Award for manga at the Japan Media Arts Festival (2007) and the 6th Manga Taishō award (2013).
Un tome passionnant avec pleins de péripéties. On n'a pas le temps de s'ennuyer avec les révélations qui s'enchainent. L'écriture est maitrisée pour les protagonistes qu'on nous dévoile progressivement leurs secrets.
J'ai aimé l'intrigue autour du passé de Sei et sa relation compliqué avec son garde du corps. Les autres personnages ne sont pas en reste, car chacun ont de l'important dans le récit.
La mangaka a su travailler son scénario avec intelligence avec un incroyable évolution de tous les personnages. J'aime beaucoup les thématiques dont elle s'inspire pour traiter son histoire. Vivement la suite.
