Recensioner

La cronaca degli insetti umani è stato interessante da leggere innanzi tutto perché questa edizione mantiene il senso di lettura giapponese: pensavo che mi avrebbe creato confusione a causa della mia abitudine nel leggere al contrario, ma in realtà ci si abitua abbastanza in fretta. Senza contare che altrimenti ci si ritrova a leggere gli eventi in un ordine che non ha il minimo senso.

Interessante è stata anche la scelta della Tezuka Production di mettere un disclaimer all’inizio del libro, avvertendo lu lettère che nell’opera ci sono rappresentazioni di personaggi che, con la nostra sensibilità moderna, percepiremo come razziste. È una bella idea: non si può cambiare il passato, ma, dato che la nostra sensibilità è in continua evoluzione, mi pare un passo nella giusta direzione evidenziare questa variazione. Secondo me, La cronaca degli insetti umani contiene anche del sessismo, ma immagino che evidenziare anche questo fosse chiedere troppo…

Per quanto riguarda il manga, l’ho trovato una lettura difficile da definire perché è uno di quei libri che ti lasciano una sensazione inafferrabile dalla ragione. La cronaca degli insetti umani racconta una storia di azioni turpi, persone viscide e segreti scabrosi: alla fine della lettura mi sono sentita quasi contaminata dal peggio che l’umanità ha da offrire.

Non c’è un personaggio che non sia toccato o che non sia agente del male e i disegni di Osamu Tezuka sono così intensi che in alcuni momenti ho avuto bisogno di mettere giù il libro, prendere un bel respiro e poi continuare la lettura. Vi consiglio vivamente di recuperarlo (in qualche biblioteca, perché è fuori catalogo a quanto so): è un libro che ha ancora tanto da dire in merito alla spietatezza del nostro sistema socio-economico.

Well, I finished the series. It was my first manga and a really fun ride. I really enjoyed it (I know nothing about science or surgery, I just like Black Jack as an antihero type character). I was disappointed when I realized I had read the last story.

After I binged several stories of Black Jack I found myself reading American graphic novels backwards on accident XD

Interesting to get a taste of manga, but the plot was a boring cliche.

Written by the ‘Godfather of Manga’, Osamu Tezuka, Princess Knight, was originally released in serialized stories in the ‘Shōjo Club’ magazine from 1953 to 1956. It was a sensation during its initial release, particularly popular for being the first manga geared towards girls that actually have a solid plot. This series has inspired anime and similar tales. This book of 696 pages is the entire set of Princess Knights stories.

The Princess Knight story involves Princess Sapphire, who was born with both a blue boy heart and a pink girl heart, due to the prank of a mischievous cherub/angel name Tink. Tink is then sent to earth to retrieve the blue boy heart. Princess Sapphire is born as the only child of the king and queen in a kingdom where only males can inherit the crown, so she was raised as both a boy and a girl. Needless to say, adventures ensure from such a beginning.

Given the 1950’s era, Tezuka’s plots introduced relatively then-new challenges to misogynistic practices. Princess Sapphire fought for herself and never waited to be rescued. Honestly, a rather novel idea back then, especially in Japanese manga. Even so, he retained dull principles that the blue boy heart gave her the strength to fence and whenever the blue heart left her body, Sapphire would exclaim, “Oh, I feel weak, as if I lost all my strength.” My eyes roll to the back of my head… Even so, she is depicted as courageous, fighting for her country and for her family (while also pining for the prince in the adjacent kingdom). Tezuka liberally included the usage of God, Venus as God’s daughter, Satan, and of course, Tink, the Cherub. He seemed to have been confusing the Bible with Roman mythology, and Raphael’s Sistine Madonna painting. I must admit I laughed at his random usage of names. Tezuka’s artwork is very pretty and held up well with time. The animals have some early Disney quality, both charming and endearing.

I searched for this book at my library when I suddenly recalled watching the cartoons as a kid. The book is much better with fast paced adventures. YouTube has a dubbed version of the cartoons, which is quite cheesy. I watched only one episode; that was enough.
