Este volumen tiene mucha acción y un ritmo trepidante además de unos escenarios que me dejan embobada de vez en cuando.

To Terra ei ole kaikkein koukuttavinta mangaa, jota olen lukenut, eikä tästä jäänyt paljoa mieleen viimeisen sivun jälkeen. Taide on kuitenkin kaunista ja idea kiinnostava*, jotenkin vain tarinankerronta lienee aikojen saatossa muuttunut.
* Maapallo on ihmisen toiminnasta saastunut elinkelvottomaksi, joten lajin säilyttämiseksi geneettisesti valikoituja lapsia kasvatetaan tekoplaneetalla. Välillä kuitenkin syntyy lapsia, joilla on ESP-kykyjä. He ovat uuden ihmislajin, mun edustajia. Mu-lapsia niin halveksutaan kuin myös pelätään, eikä heidän anneta elää. Lapset käyvät läpi aikuistumisseremonia, jonka aikana heidän ESP-kyvykkyytensä testataan, osa kuitenkin on päässyt pakenemaan ennen testiä ja vuosien saatossa mut ovat onnistuneet kerääntymään pieneksi vastarinnaksi, jolla on selvä tavoite: Palata Terraan, eli maapallolle.

Excellent second tome, plein de tension et graphiquement toujours aussi chouette.

Sci-fi trilogy about a future when Man has mostly left Earth because we've polluted it so badly, and now humanity allows a computer designed to keep them docile and in-line. Many humans develop telepathic powers, and are called Mu rather than human, and were killed for many generations, until a few escaped and began to rescue all the future Mu. This leads to a war, a ultrapowerful Mu who wants to reunite with humanity, and the Mu trying to get back to Earth. The leader of the humans was genetically engineered by the computer to resist telepathy.
It's kinda vague at times, one of my complaints with some fantasy/sci-fi manga, and the characters don't have any really strong character arcs other than their role as plot-movers. Some of the characters' relationships are confused and difficult to follow. Still, it's got some pretty entertaining sequences, including a few characters trying to learn secrets about their pasts, and the conflict is pretty well realized. The art is solid. Overall... dunno... it was all right, not a favorite, but not anything I regret reading.

This one was better than the first one. It's more intense.

Una obra poética que indaga sobre la naturaleza del ser humano. Un shonen de ciencia ficción escrito y dibujado con maestría

Mucho mejor que el primero, menos mal.

Recomiendo aguantar hasta la página 80. Me encantó.

Ce tome 2 plonge dans plusieurs nouveaux questionnements. Vaut-il la peine de poursuivre une guerre contre des ennemis qui semblent lointains? Comment en arrive-t-on à conjuguer le destin de deux peuples qui s'opposent? Y a-t-il une troisième voie hors de la guerre ou de l'extermination? Et si la menace venait de l'intérieur: qui sont vraiment nos alliés, que signifie être Mu, être humain?
Le personnage de Jomy a complètement fait sienne la quête de Soldier Blue, mais il fait face à tous ces questionnements avec sérieux, ce qui l'empêche parfois d'anticiper les menaces soudaines. Ce tome est rempli d'affrontements directs, on est beaucoup moins dans le contexte et l'histoire des personnages, même on se questionne sur les buts et les affiliations réelles de chacun, c'est un volume de combats violents. C'est véritablement le coeur de cette série: le tome se lit d'une traite. La fin ne nous donne aucune aide pour prévoir ce qui s'en vient, on sent que tout est encore possible, et que l'imagination de la mangaka n'est pas limitée et qu'elle se tient loin des clichés. J'ai bien hâte de lire le dernier tome!

An excerpt of my review for the full series:
Its vintage and historical significance alone make To Terra… worth a look, but there’s much more to it than that. This book is a space opera in the grandest sense of the word, but by filtering this manliest of genres through Takemiya’s shojo sensibilities, the result is a fascinating hybrid. Takemiya’s heroes are so wispy that it looks like a strong wind might blow them away, but their slender limbs and softened features do little to deaden how fiercely she communicates their resolve as she serves up every tense scene with an extra dollop of melodrama. To Terra… certainly isn’t hurting for action-packed aerial dogfights, and when it comes time, Takemiya can draw technically flawless spaceships with the best of ‘em. She’s just as likely, though, to let the space scenery linger, with gorgeously rendered double-page spreads or long vertical panels that slash the page into pieces to help set the scene. In the art of To Terra…, atmosphere is key.

February 20, 2011I love Physis. A plot twist that actually surprised me!
The art is lovely, but I don't feel much emotional connection to the story -- there are a few differentiated characters and a cast of thousands, and everything moves really fast. It's not that it doesn't have those notable manga moments of dwelling upon emotional intensity, but it is that they feel rare and have less impact than they usually do.
The text crowds the speech bubbles and is hard to read.

I was a little disappointed.
This volume has more action than the first, but the way it's drawn I could barely tell what was going on. Or who was talking. Those darn telepaths, they never have attribution triangles on their thought bubbles!
It didn't seem as stylish as the first volume, for some reason. Perhaps it's just not excitingly new anymore, since it's a sequel.

This left me very excited for the final volume.

Just like the first I am impressed by the book and look forward to the final volume.
