Ho sempre visto con curiosità i lavori della Sensei Nitta però non ho mai avuto modo nè di comprarli e nè di leggerli. (Immagino però di aver scelto l'opera sbagliata per iniziare).
Lo stile non mi piace ma ho notato che nelle sue storie cerca sempre di essere originale, ed è una cosa che apprezzo parecchio.
Per esempio n questa serie i protagonisti fanno i doppiatori, un lavoro che in Giappone è molto più considerato che qui in Italia. I doppiatori vengono considerati quasi alla stregua di idol, cantano, fanno spettacoli teatrali.
Tornando al nostro protagonista, lui è un pivellino nel campo, sta cercando di entrare nel mondo del doppiaggio facendo due lavori. Sembra essere un tipo troppo arrendevole e presto sembra che stia per abbandonare per sempre la strada dei suoi sogni finché non capisce che è arrivata l'ora di fare sul serio. Riesce anche a prendere una parte da protagonista finché puff ci ritroviamo davanti un altro personaggio proprio.
Nella scena finale le parti tra Joichi e Kazama si invertono bruscamente. Mentre del secondo sembra essere una svolta accompagnata da molteplici campanelli, quella di joichi è abbastanza inaspettata, tanto da sembrare OC.
Ma essendo finito il volume, non c'è stato modo di approfondire questo risvolto psicologico, e soprattutto non lo sparò mai se non prendo in mano le scan visto che il secondo (e ultimo volume) non è mai stato editato in Italia.
KappaLab ha lasciato diversi buchi nelle nostre librerie.... *bestemmia*
Non li perdonerò mai per non aver finito la stampa di Gate 4, mai!

Le doy 3 estrellas porque el dibujo es espectacular, me ha sorprendido el detalle, Nitta ha cuidado hasta lo más ínfimo. y qué decir de esos estilismos xD, ahora, la historia queda muy en el aire.

Nitta Youka sticks to her formula of a reserved uke and energetic "puppy-dog" seme in Sound of My Voice. Jouichi is an aspiring voice actor who discovers that an old classmate Kazama is already a rising star in his own right. While Jouichi is both intimidated and drawn to the cool Kazama, Kazama feels much more threatened by his childhood friend.
For those familiar with Nitta's work, Sound of My Voice is quite different from Haru wo Daiteita. It's a little "quieter" slower and more mature. The cast of characters is also much larger.
I'm enjoying learning about the voice acting industry and I'm especially enjoying the dynamic between side characters Kurokawa and Hodaka. There seems to be much more realism to both the depictions of the industry and the depth of the characters themselves, which is always a good thing. What Sound of My Voice is missing though is a lot of tension. I'm hoping this will change as the series progresses.
Overall a good read but lacking a bit of the punch I've come to expect from this mangaka.

To me, this manga belongs to the category in which the supporting characters are much more interesting than the protagonist ones.
Two reasons to read this manga: Miki Shinichirou and Morikawa Toshiyuki-alike in manga and the voice actor universe. Even before the drama CD was out, my brain refused to acknowledge anyone but Mikishin as in Hosaka's place (and along with that Morimori in Kurokawa's), though only God knows from which Nitta-sensei pulled his characters out.
As for the setting in this manga, it helps the readers to know more about the working world of Japanese voice actors, about those genius actor working only with their voices alone behind animated characters to bring them out alive as characters. It's such an eye-opener to the world full of intrigued persona of not knowing where to separate lines between work and real life, the challenges and the daily occurrences in the voice actor world.

I'm still learning to read these types of graphic novels from right to left, but I'm having problems remembering the names / faces. I'm struggling, also to make sense of the many "thought" and asides that happen.
I found this story particularly difficult to follow, the flow often not making sense.
In fairness, I've given it three stars as the artwork was good. And the main problem might just be my newness to the genre, but I don't see me continuing with this series.

I love the artwork and I find the world of voice acting interesting. But I’m not connecting with Joichi’s character. He starts off all wide-eye and innocent, insecure and straight. Then suddenly he’s jumping Kazama in bed. A total roll reversal. It’ll be interesting to see how this story continues.

reading this in pieces in the kindle edition.
Love the artwork and love all the complex interactions between all the voice actors.
