Sąsiedzka opowieść. Tom 4

ご近所物語 [Gokinjō Monogatari] #4

by Ai Yazawa

W tej części opowieści, Tsutomu staje się jeszcze bardziej podobny do swojego idola, głównego wokalisty Manbou, Ken Nakagawy. Popularność, którą zdobył, ma swoje konsekwencje. Jego bliskie relacje z sąsiadką Mikako stają się bardziej złożone, a ich przyjaźń wkrótce zostaje wystawiona na próbę. Tsutomu musi stawić czoła nie tylko uczuciom, ale i oczekiwaniom otoczenia, które coraz bardziej naciska na jego życie osobiste.

About the author

Ai Yazawa (Japanese: 矢沢あい, Yazawa Ai) is a Japanese manga author and illustrator. Her pen name comes from singer Eikichi Yazawa, of whom she is a fan.
Yazawa started her comics career in 1985. She specialises in shojo manga (girls' comics). Most of her works have been serialised in the magazines 'Ribon', 'Cookie' and 'Zipper'.
Yazawa's stories focus on young, often rebellious women and their relationships. The characters are always very stylish, and Yazawa herself is known for her sense of fashion. (She even attended a fashion school for some time after high school.)
Among her most famous manga are Tenshi Nanka Ja Nai (I'm No Angel, 1992–1995), Neighborhood Story (1995-1998), Paradise Kiss (1999-2004), and Nana (2000-2009), the latter awarded a Shogakukan Manga Award in 2003. Some of these works have been adapted into anime and live action movies.

This series is just too good to put down. Last night I stayed up until four in order to finish the series. I don't regret it at all! The whole series was just a classic Yazawa creation. Although it lacked an extremely tragic ending (this is not a spoiler, who knows, it could have been a slightly tragic ending) like in Paradise Kiss, the rest of the stories along the way just make the journey worth while.

I think this is one of the best and essential volumes of the manga as it transitions to Mikako’s life decisions on the next volume. Can’t wait to finish this novel! (>.<) (and also not to, because what should I read next? Paradise Kiss, probably)

なかなか好きなスタイルの漫画が見つからないけどご近所物語のイラストはいつも通りかわいかった。イラストが好きじゃ無いと読みたい気分にならないなぁー。😅　今まで読んだご近所物語の中でこのボリュームが一番好きかも。ツトムが寝ている美果子を触ろうとしたシーンはヤバかった。日本語でgaslightって言う言葉あるか知らないけど、リサまで美果子に「山口が怒るのは当然だよ」と美果子のことを責めていたのでショックだった。2023年のアメリカではツトムはcancelledされますね。

this gotta be the most ANNOYING book out of this series bc im starting to see a pattern. this series is dancing around in circles to tell the story bc i felt like i read the same book again bc outside of the stuff with mikako's parents, everything felt RECYCLED.

كوميديا آي يازاوا مبهجة دائما! والأجمل ان قاعدة اقرأ المانجا وأحاول اربطها بالمتبقي في ذاكرتي من بارادايس كيس، ياريتني قرأتهم بالترتيب.

Seems less character development and i think the beginning of more insight into mikako’s mind as she progresses in her first relationship.
