Mujina into the Deep, Vol. 3

MUJINA INTO THE DEEP #3

by Inio Asano

Rooftop culture might seem cool when you’re just watching clips on social media, but trying to live without your human rights is way worse than working a dead-end job. You can’t rent an apartment, go to the clubs, or get any kind of legit employment. The only way to make it as a mujina is to get into the assassin biz, and that all but guarantees you an imminent expiration date. But with badasses like Ubume and Tenka as outlier examples, will Junko end up giving up her rights to get out of the daily grind?

[Ignacio · Rating 4 out of 5]

La historia funciona mejor en el plano corto (los problemas de los personajes y sus dinámicas) que en el panorámico (la suspensión de incredulidad de los mujinas, su encaje en sociedad, la persecución de los crímenes petardea mucho). Pero además del dibujo (que no una narrativa a ratos sin demasiado sentido en el encadenamiento de planos) me gusta mucho cómo Asano trata temas contemporáneos como la fama en el mundo de las redes sociales y la lucha de clases en los tiempos del capitalismo tardío. Además la extravagancia hortera y el mal gusto de ciertos diseños/estampas le da mordiente.

Es tremendo lo de Inio Asano, qué manera de escribir mientras te emboba con el dibujo

Buttiamo giù qualche cliché narrativo.

Averne d Asano riesce i storie come Mujina into the Deep 3. Asano riesce con le sue tavole a mostrarci la crudeltà di un mondo che sembra molto diverso dal nostro ma che in realtà è molto vicino. Ci mostra con forza in questo 3 volume la difficoltà e la pesantezza della parola famiglia e della parola dovere. Tutti i personaggi hanno una ottima caratterizzazione e dimostrano sempre un background importante. Onestamente sto adorando questa serie

Things are starting to get serious. Finding out just a tiny bit of Ubume's past is like a kick to the head. It is very similar to things happening today even. The one thing I do like about this series is what it is exploring between rights and non rights and everything else that it entails. Considering that we are slowly moving in that direction with all the technology coming out. It is like a look into what could be a very possible future for us all.

En este tomo Asano no se tentó el corazón y mató de formas muy sanguinarias a varios personajes. Reitero de las obras más sádicas y violentas de Asano.
