Bah j’ai adoré vraiment hâte de voir ce que ça va donner la suite ! Pouvoir retrouver une trame semblable à celle de the strange house mais avec un style de dessins différents c’est que du bonheur !

I received this book from the publisher on Edelweiss in exchange of an honest review.

This was a lot of fun, the transitions at times could be a bit better, but I am delighted I was able to read this one! Sure, due to the fact that I already know all the plots and such it was a bit more boring than when I read the original.

Review to come in July closer to the release day.

Already read the book so I know I’m in for something great, but I don’t remember the details ups

Les polars d'Uketsu réussissent toujours à me donner des frissons imprévus. Et, pour ma part, c'est encore plus efficace avec les adaptations manga que dans les romans. J'ai lu son autre polar The Strange Houses en roman et en adaptation manga. Dans les mangas, ça va vite, mais on suit les personnages, on connecte avec leur peur et leur curiosité aussi. Dans les romans, l'intégration des dessins m'a semblé trop répétitives, alors que dans les mangas, ça semble tout à fait naturel qu'on y apporte une petite modification et qu'on nous présente le dessin légèrement changé.

The Strange Pictures est encore plus tordu que The Strange House. On y parle aussi d'enfants traumatisés par des gestes terribles, mais on aborde la question sous l'angle de la communication par les dessins. C'est un peu tiré par les cheveux (comme le premier polar), mais c'est impossible à arrêter, tellement on veut comprendre. Uketsu et Aiba Kikô réussissent bien à créer la tension, à amener un sentiment d'urgence. Même si on termine ce tome 1 en se demandant ce que les deux personnages principaux pourraient bien faire de plus... Connaissant Uketsu, on n'a pas fini de renverser la situation pour surprendre le lecteur...

I’ve read Strange Buildings, but I’ve been wanting to read Uketsu’s other books. Seeing that this follows the first book, it helped me to get more info on how he set it up. Seeing as how his third book is all based around houses and buildings made in order to kill someone, I like that the first one, as the title states, follows pictures that tell a hidden story.

I didn’t know that this would be releasing, because had I known, I would have tried to read the book first so I could see how they differ. Which I still plan to do. There was a bit of a cliffhanger ending, so I’m wondering how the second volume will come about.

This was really interesting and I’ll definitely continue.

Thank you to the publisher and Edelweiss for my gifted eARC.

Strange Pictures is a really intriguing thriller/horror story. I absolutely loved my read of this manga, the mystery is so well written and the art style looks so neat. Everything is coming together so nicely, this mystery is definitely one that has me hooked in a really solid way. It was very attention grabbing from the beginning, the set up of the blog entries and the pictures were very well done. I enjoyed reading about the characters piecing things together and when the pictures were solved, though it brought even more questions and mystery it felt so satisfying. Then the ending of the volume...wow. I'm so excited to read more from this manga series, I need answers! Thank you to Edelweiss and the publisher for my complimentary review copy.

I liked this one, even if it didn’t totally hit the level I was hoping for. The art is genuinely good and fits the tone well, but some of the panel transitions felt a little awkward at times, like the flow wasn’t fully locked in.

The story itself is where it really works. It’s interesting, tense, and has that slow pull that makes you want to keep going. And the cliffhanger absolutely did its job. I enjoyed the read overall, but I expected a bit more from it.

Still excited to get to the novel version, especially now that I’ve seen the world in comic form.

[thank you Titan Comics for providing a review copy]

I am a big Uketsu fan and have already read Strange Pictures so I was so excited to experience their clever and unique story through a different medium. And boy, did it not disappoint.

Volume 1. Follows the first mystery in Strange Pictures. The story is exactly the same as Uketsu’s tradition novel but the use of constant images allows the investigation to flow and provide an even speedier read - impressive given the novel is also extraordinarily quick.

The manga is definitely a fun way to experience this murder mystery and I can’t wait to read volumes 2 and 3. It was a great refresher.

[Anna Maria D'Ambrosio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Seppur io sia a conoscenza del fatto che questa storia non nasca come manga ma come “sketch-mystery”, qualcuno dica ad Uketsu che ha delle bellissime idee, ma che non ha decisamente l’arte della narrazione in forma di romanzo. Infatti, il manga - questo primo numero - mi ha convinta decisamente di più rispetto a come era accaduto con il libro pubblicato da Einaudi.
Non ci sono le ripetizioni a prova di scemə, le ingenuità sono minori e, quindi, ci si può godere la storia entrandoci per davvero, e rabbrividire con lei.

[Christian Luigi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Meno interessante de "La strana casa" (il concept dell'horror coi disegni è un po' trito e ritrito, soprattutto dopo Teddy, almeno i disegni delle planimetrie di case erano più originali ed "enigmistici"), l'accoppiata scrittore-mangaka funziona molto bene, l'estetica e il ritmo sono giusti, forse troppo breve il volume, probabilmente per motivi editoriali (vorranno farne più possibili per un lavoro che richiederebbe meno pagine?). Generalmente, consigliato. Ma consiglio di più "La strana casa".

[Kamons · Rating 4 out of 5]

ถ่ายทอดจากนิยายเข้ามาเป็นรูปแบบมังงะได้ดีเลยเห็นภาพชัดเจน ไม่ต้องจินตนาการเยอะ สมมติว่าเราไม่ได้อ่านฉบับนิยายแล้วข้ามมาการ์ตูนก็น่าจะรู้สึกว่าน่าสนใจดี

[Nein · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's fun to read it. Waiting for next volume

[Lee Shain · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don't think it matters how many times I have read this story, it never stops to amaze me

[Marika C. · Rating 5 out of 5]

il primo volume è molto fedele al libro 😎

[L ྀིྀི · Rating 5 out of 5]

Banger en manga aussi

[Jace Beleren · Rating 4 out of 5]

un vrai plaisir de replonger dans cet univers par un autre bout, par contre l'architecte va clairement devenir un tueur en série
sa façon de penser est bluffant e et flippante à la fois 😂

[Alessandro Pensi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Interessante, ma l'impostazione è troppo simile al precedente manga di Uketsu, La strana casa

[Amanda K · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great first volume to set up the rest of Strange Pictures.
