Jinbe

Rate this book
Jinbē is the story of the relationship between Jinpei and his stepdaughter, Miku. Miku's mother died after being married to Jinpei for a little over a year, when Miku was 13 years old, and Jinpei has been raising Miku alone since then. The series has a very delicate touch with the romantic issues. Adachi dealt with a similar situation, a brother and sister who are not related by blood, in his earlier series Miyuki.

About the author

Mitsuru Adachi

694 books220 followers
Mitsuru Adachi (あだち充 in Japanese) is a Japanese manga artist. After graduating from Gunma Prefectural Maebashi Commercial High School in 1969, Adachi worked as an assistant for Isami Ishii. He made his manga debut in 1970 with Kieta Bakuon, based on a manga originally created by Satoru Ozawa. Kieta was published in Deluxe Shōnen Sunday (a manga magazine published by Shogakukan).

Adachi is well known for romantic comedy and sports manga (especially baseball) such as Touch, H2, Slow Step, and Miyuki. He has been described as a writer of "delightful dialogue", a genius at portraying everyday life, "the greatest pure storyteller", and "a master manga artist". He is one of the few manga artists to write for shōnen, shōjo, and seinen manga magazines, and be popular in all three.

His works have been carried in manga magazines such as Weekly Shōnen Sunday, Ciao, Shōjo Comic, Big Comic, and Petit Comic, and most of his works are published through Shogakukan and Gakken. He was one of the flagship authors in the new Monthly Shōnen Sunday magazine which began publication in June 2009. Only two short story collections, Short Program and Short Program 2 (both through Viz Media), have been released in North America, though Viz is scheduled to begin publishing Cross Game in October 2010.

He modeled the spelling of あだち (rather than 安達) for his family name after the example of his older brother, manga artist Tsutomu Adachi. In addition, it has been suggested that the accurate portrayal of sibling rivalry in Touch may come from Adachi's experiences while growing up with his older brother. Adachi did the character designs for the OVA anime series Nozomi Witches, so he is sometimes incorrectly given credit for creating the original series.

Oneshot Mitsuru Adachi yang kesannya berbeda dibanding karya beliau pada umumnya, karena tokoh utamanya om-om paruh baya..... walau setelah dibaca, nuansa deja vu masih sering terasa sih.

--- Jinbe ---
Plot: ...Engg, bukan cangkir semua orang lol XD.
Penokohan: D-dewasa sekali...
Gambar: Ok.

Sudah lama tidak menulis review^^.
Jinbe komik oneshot dari Adachi sensei. Sinopsisnya baca langsung di atas ya. Komik ini sudah saya dengar sebelumnya dari Ever dan Guguk karena saya doyan age gap //bukan.

Overall, saya... emm... sedikit... hmm... (〃∀〃);;; 💦
Kurasa seperti kata ayah kandung Miku, hubungan Miku dan Jinbe perlu dilihat oleh orang yang berpikiran terbuka (dia tidak bilang seperti ini, tapi menurutku inti yang bisa kusimpulkan seperti ini XD).

Menurut saya Miku... dewasa sekali ya. Biasanya saya juga sering membaca tokoh anak yang dewasa. Tapi, rasanya ada yang mengganjal dari Miku. Saya merasa cinta Miku dan Jinbe rasanya agak... apa ya? Platonik? Serasa berada di ambang yang tidak pasti? Atau... hmm... Tapi berkat ayah kandung Miku, paling tidak hubungannya bisa sedikit lebih pasti. Mungkin.

Anyw, saya suka age gap, tapi ada sesuatu yang terasa kurang juga. Bukannya saya tidak suka kisah yang tentram (dan beberapa kejadian di komik ini agak jauh dari kata tentram XD). Tapi... Hmmm..... *kembali berpikir* Padahal perasaan Miku sudah jelas dari awal. Kenapa saya begini ya?! Duh!

[7.1/10]

Tema yg nggak biasa diambil Adachi Mitsuru, tapi berhasil diantarkan dengan woles, santai dan penuh humor khasnya beliau.

Rinnovo la mia predilezione per Mitsuru Adachi, che ho apprezzato negli anime (Prendi il mondo e vai, Questa allegra gioventù) e amato follemente con Rough, tuttora il mio manga preferito.
In questo volume unico, che ha atteso il suo turno sul comodino per anni, ritrovo il familiare tratto di Adachi, la sottile ironia, i delicati sentimenti, la pace della quotidianità. È anche la mia prima lettura jap terminata nel 2023.

Judul kedua yang ku baca karya Adachi Mitsuru setelah Q&A. Disini baru kerasa banget story telling beliau yang slow pace sangat enak untuk dibaca sambil nyantai. Detil adegannya itu lho beneran jadi ciri khas beliau kalo bikin komik apapun itu, yang kayaknya skg udah jarang diterapin di komik lain..

Seperti biasa. Khas Adachi-sensei dalam membuat manga
Meskipun temanya tidak biasa, namun dengan ringan dan alur yang menarik, semuanya bisa disajikan dengan baik.
Ending one-shot ini pun sangat baik. Silakan pembaca pikirkan, yang jelas itulah yang terbaik.

Le propos sous entendu dans ce manga me pose le même problème que celui dans "Le Bossu" de Paul Féval.

อ่านในปี 2022 ก็เลยรู้สึกเฉยๆมั้ง เพราะตัวละครก็ห่างกันเพื่อที่จะเริ่มต้นใหม่
ทำไงได้ล่ะ ความรู้สึกหมันเกิดโดยที่ไม่ได้มีใครบังคับนี่

Hmmm...this is an interesting story. You can catch glimpses of Miku's feelings through various comments she makes throughout the story. It is certainly a delicate topic, even though they aren't related by blood, since Jinpei has been raising Miku since she was 12. I think Adachi did a good job maintaining propriety throughout the story, rather than giving into to include lurid content as some lesser storytellers would have.

A good story overall, but a delicate topic for many.

เรื่องเดี่ยวจบในเล่มว่าด้วยความสัมพันธ์ระหว่างพ่อเลี้ยงกับลูกติดของภรรยา ไม่ชอบเรื่องนี้นักด้วยมันชักนำเราให้รู้สึกอึดอัดกับการดำเนินเรื่อง (ถ้าผู้เขียนต้องการให้เป็นแบบนั้น หมายความว่าเขาทำสำเร็จ) แต่ก็ยังรู้สึกชอบภาพรวมของมัน ตอนจบมันเปิดโอกาสให้อะไร ๆ สามารถเกิดขึ้นได้ในอนาคต เราชอบตรงนี้มาก

Some of Adachi’s best storytelling, slightly marred by n abrupt & unclear ending.
