んんんん。。。。あまり好きじゃない。
絵はいいけどストーリが全然つながらない。なぜ最初の話は最初？次の話はなぜ次？この一巻で何も築くなかった。それだけではない。これは能の話だ。色々の能専門用語が現れる。作者がちゃんと説明してくれるんだけど。。。彼女の字が超読みにくいから結局読めない。もうちょっと大きくて丁寧に書いてください。
話もキャラもバラバラだ説話はどこでも見つからないので。。。あまり続きたくない。これは花とゆめに出版して期待したんだけど。。。この1巻を終わってガッカリ。次のはもっといいかな？

對能劇印象只有詭異的音樂和阿基拉原聲帶

This is the sequel of Natural, but it tells about Sakakibara Norito (whose name could be read "Kento"), Saimon's older brother who aspire to become a professional Noh player. An introduction of this series was published as two bonus stories at the end of Natural series (vol. 11).

It opens with a story where Norito was mistaken as a chikan (someone who does sexual harassment) in the train by a woman.

The stories told in this series is about finding one's identity. It explores the thoughts, feelings, the way Norito strive to become a better Noh player, and also the guilt he feels because as a child he wished that Saimon was the one taken by their uncle to live in Aomori to be raised as a shinto priest (and Saimon was indeed the one chosen, thus Norito could continue learning to play Noh).

The language is slightly more difficult than Natural, but it didn't prevent me from buying and (trying) to read it. This is Narita Minako quality, I'm talking about. Not your mega-selling manga, but one deep and enlighting.

Manga yang pas kalo tertarik pada pertunjukan Noh. Ternyata topeng Noh menyusahkan ya... masa ada aktor yang cuma bisa melihat dari lubang hidung di topeng...
