アルスラーン戦記 [Arslan Senki] #16

by Hiromu Arakawa, Yoshiki Tanaka (original creator)

THE SCOURGES OF GILAN

King Andragoras arrives at Peshawar, reclaiming his army and authority from Arslan. To rub more salt in the wound, Andragoras banishes Arslan to the south, declaring he can only return once he’s amassed an army of 50,000 soldiers. Arslan and his crew set out on this seemingly impossible mission, and their first destination is the beautiful, bustling port city of Gilan. However, things are not as sunny in Gilan as they appear. Arslan’s group of eight finds itself in a struggle to defend Gilan…from an army of pirates. And someone lurking in the shadows wants the pirates to win…

4.75 ⭐️
Highlights this volume is Alfarids swooning for Narsus, Farangis sticking up for Alfarid, the tension between Elam and Alfarid, pirate battles, Zot clan mercenaries, and Daryun’s forearms. Arslan is gathering his new army.

I just need to see a glimpse of Narsus' artwork. No way in hell it's so bad that they're using it as a tort*re device 😭😭😭

Cómo lo echaba de menos! A pasado más de un año desde que se publicó el tomo anterior! A pesar de eso en cuanto abro por la primera página no necesito ni resumen ni nada, en seguida recuerdo lo que estaba pasando.
Aquí empieza un nuevo arco, Arslan y su grupo están en la costa de Pars. En este tomo hay luchas contra piratas, engaños, estrategias y politiqueos en cada página. Un gustazo de lectura.

うん。前読んだのね。

雑誌で読んだかな？最後まで覚えなかった。ツガードのさばきは結構よいシーンだったので覚えるはずだったがちょっと驚いて満足感じた。やっぱり、アルスラーンは死の罰を避けたんだ。彼は優しいが正義の勘は鋭い。死より奴隷の人生は良い罰。一つは、死は簡単過ぎるし早い過ぎる。この人は人間の価値が知らない。感情なし人を打ったりし裏切りし売ったりし。ただ殺したら簡単過ぎる。また、一つの理由は与えられたの悪行を自分に受けたら前の犠牲者ノ気持ちを分かるよになるかもしれないし救うわれるかもしれない。最後の理由はアルスラーンは自分で考えた裁きだ。ナルサスから受けたんだではないが素晴らしいだったし、ナルサスの古い友達にまったチャンスあげたんだ。やっぱりいい人よね。結構学んだね。

Un tome encore une fois plein d'actions et de rebondissements pour notre prince Arslan. J'ai eu pour la première fois peur que Arslan et sa compagnie se fasse avoir. On retrouve un petit focus de fait sur Narsus et son ami d'enfance. Bref, un tome sympathique qui fait avancer la quête de recherche d'homme d'Arslan. Hâte de lire la suite en espérant qu'il y ait plus de l'intrigue principale.

In diesem Band geht es hauptsächlich um das Ränkeschmieden. Klar gibt es auch wieder Kämpfe, aber größtenteils wird hier die Macht gezeigt und versucht diese für sich zu gewinnen. Dabei finde ich sehr interessant wie Arslan, geleitet von Narsus, hier vor geht. Es kommen ja noch einige bände und es interessiert mich ob sich jetzt eher Teile wiederholen oder ob es doch neue Wege gibt.

I really, really enjoyed this volume. The trickery of planning a trap for someone that was once a friend is pretty ballsy. And i love that Arslan's falcon was put to use, again.

So many great moments.

I'm still thinking about the last chapter in this volume. Arslan character development is beautiful to see and I love him a lot.
