子爵ヴァルモン〜危険な関係〜 [Shishaku Valmont: Kiken na Kankei] #2

by Tiho Saitou, さいとうちほ

This is a manga adaptation of Les Liaisons dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos.
The plot focuses on the Marquise de Merteuil and the Vicomte de Valmont, rivals who use sex as a weapon of humiliation and degradation, all the while enjoying their cruel games. Their targets are the virtuous Madame de Tourvel and Cécile de Volanges, a young girl who has fallen in love with her music tutor, the Chevalier Danceny. In order to gain their trust, Merteuil and Valmont pretend to help the secret lovers so they can use them later in their own treacherous schemes.

Mangas leídos: ''Le Vicomte de Valmont - Les Liaisons dangereuses'', de Chiho Saitô... Idioma francés, Editor Soleil, 2 tomos. (Retelling, clásico adaptado a manga, erotismo, relaciones varias...)

Me encanta la mangaka Chiho Saitô: sus dibujos son tremendos, brutales, sensuales al punto que me recuerdan a mi ídolo por excelencia... Sus trazos transmiten además esa sensación de contemplar algo bello, delicado... fino. Y salvaje a la vez. Al menos a mi parecer...

Sus historias son modernas y también clásicas. Temas de controversia, poderes, música, ballet y ópera, romanticismo, retellings de historias conocidas y personajes reales...

No puedo evitar que me encante, ni quiero.

En esta ocasión, un manga de 2 tomos que compré en idioma francés..., que nos recordaba la historia de ''Las amistades peligrosas'': del autor Pierre Choderlos de Laclos, que muchos conoceréis..., en la que unas personas juegan a ser manos que mueven las fichas que en este caso se tratan de más personas. Juegos que no deberían jugarse; pero aún se juegan...

Erotismo, sentimientos varios, aprendizaje por todos lados...

Una belleza visual con encajes en trajes encantadores... Melenas y máscaras que ocultan masculinos rostros de facciones ''angelicales''...

Y recordar que el sexo quizás sea un juego que puede salir mal parado... pueden darte por el lado contrario; aunque suene ambiguo...

***El tomo que compré es en idioma francés.

Po zastanowieniu zmieniam ocenę na 5. Pięknie narysowana, świetnie oddająca laclosowskie postaci. I przede wszystkim: miałam te same odczucia towarzyszące czytaniu powieści, którą zwyczajnie uwielbiam.

(1、2巻通して)
原作(ラクロの『危険な関係』)は未読。
読みながらずっとひどいよ〜って思ってた。そして最後は因果応報だなと。
原作が書簡体小説ということで漫画の中でも手紙のやりとりが多い。原作も読んでみようかな。

Review for complete series

Valmot is a decently fine manga, especially considering that it is only two volumes long. That being said, I do not think it is quite the right manga for me. Saitou's art, even for her newer works, is much closer to classic shoujo art, and I appreciate that. Despite the gap between them, I think this would read very well right along with The Rose of Versailles as the art is reasonably similar and they both take place during the French Revolution. So, art wise, if you prefer the older shoujo stye, this one certainly is beautiful to look at.

I cannot fully judge how much credit can be given to Saitou for the plot as it is actually an adaptation of the French classic Dangerous Liaisons by Choderlos de Laclos which I have not read. And that's really the crux of it; as the title suggests, this story is steeped in affairs and pretty much centres around nobles playing court games and trying to get into each other's beds. Was it well written? I can only comment on this manga adaptation and yes, especially given it's short length, I think it was both well written and nicely drawn. It is plain and simply not the kind of plot I care much for, but I can appreciate that it is nonetheless a work well done.

Mi mette un po' in difficoltà questa recensione. Da un lato i disegni di Chiho Saitō sono bellissimi come al solito. Dall'altro la storia è di una tragicità da far paura. Gente che gioca con i sentimenti degli altri senza preoccuparsi delle conseguenze. E ovviamente non può finir bene per nessuno dei cinque personaggi principali. Due muoiono, uno si auto-esilia, l'altra deve scappare per lo scandalo e la terza finisce in convento. SIGH!!!

Però continuerò a leggere le opere di Saitō-sensei.
