神の雫 #5

by Tadashi Agi (Scenarist), Shū Okimoto (Drawings)

Cette fois, Shizuku est bel et bien sur le point de trouver le premier des 12 vins « divins » ! Mais pour cela il a besoin de l’aide de Kaori, une artiste peintre qui l’aurait jadis goûté avant de devenir amnésique. Shizuku n’en percera le secret qu’après avoir exhumé le triste passé de la jeune femme. Et c’est en buvant un bourgogne qu’elle laisse finalement éclater son émotion… Pendant ce temps, son rival Tomine suit sa propre piste et se rend dans un sanctuaire Shinto isolé en pleine nature…

Un excellent manga, très détaillé d’une grande qualité artistique mais d’un niveau beaucoup trop élevé pour des élèves de collège.

Wine wine wine

And more wine. To Shizuku's journey to finding his father's treasure. He help Kaori to find her lost memory thru wine. As his battle against the prince of wine started, he was able to come up to an idea as to what the first apostle is. Will he be able to correctly guess? Or will Issei Tomine win this round again?

Will these two ever get to the first Apostle? It’s been five volumes, sheesh.

2024/12/24 Notes:

The mini-arc about a woman with amnesia was great! It didn't progress the way I thought it would. There's a nice touch of realism and acceptance that I found very satisfying tie up for that arc.

Vol6 should have the showdown for the 1st Apostle. A flawed wine with amazing taste!

Enjoying the way Kanzaki has grown during the battle of wines. He spent the majority of his life rebelling against the things that his father had him experience and learn. Not understanding how much of that weird upbringing had shaped him into who he is and who he will become. It's an interesting note that you don't have to be in a moment with a living person to share experiences. Kanzaki's deep dive into learning about wine and competing for his father's will has shaken up his life, and he's grown as a person and closer to his deceased father.

Five volumes in and we reach the First Apostle! I binged this one overnight because I wanted to know which of Issei and Shizuku would win, and was not disappointed with the execution. Lots of those wonderful full-page spreads in which tasting wine is a full-sensory hallucination which really are my favourite part of this series.

[Johnathan · Rating 5 out of 5]

The woman's past being linked to wine and recovering her memory is a wonderful story. Her secret lover waking up over the wine makes it even better. I can't help but hate that the story of the accident was linked to cheating and that is how Shizuku might find the first apostle.

[Ares · Rating 5 out of 5]

They are closing in on the first Apostle but the interesting part was the story of this volume. It was bittersweet. This series deals with a lot of sensitive and sad topics and this one was a prime example for that.

So ridiculous, I love it.
