About the author
Katsuhiro Otomo
316 books883 followersKatsuhiro Otomo is a Japanese manga artist, film director, and screenwriter. For his works in Japanese see 大友克洋. He is perhaps best known for being the creator of the manga Akira and its anime adaptation, which are extremely famous and influential. Otomo has also directed several live-action films, such as the recent 2006 feature film adaptation of the Mushishi manga.
Katsuhiro Otomo was born in the former town of Hasama, in Miyagi Prefecture.
As a teenager growing up in the turbulent 1960s, he was surrounded by the demonstrations of both students and workers against the Japanese government. The riots, demonstrations, and overall chaotic conditions of this time would serve as the inspiration for his best known work, Akira. Some would argue that this seminal work is an allegory of 1960s Japan, and that one could easily substitute the year 2019 for 1969 and leave little difference in the basic story.
The animation from this period (especially the works coming out of Tokyo animation studios Mushi Production and Toei Doga, now known as TOEI Animation) were influencing young Otomo. Works like Tetsujin 28-go, Astro Boy, and Hols: Prince of the Sun would help push Otomo toward a career in animation. However, it was the films coming out of America that were driving his rebellious nature. Five Easy Pieces and Easy Rider would serve as inspiration for Shotaro Kaneda and his biker gang in Akira: rebellious youth who took too many drugs and didn't care about authority or the pressures put on them by their parents' generation.
Otomo has recently worked extensively with noted studio Sunrise with the studio animating and producing his most recent projects, the 2004 feature film Steamboy, 2006's Freedom Project and his latest project, SOS! Tokyo Metro Explorers: The Next, released in 2007.
Otomo grew up a fanatic of American blockbusters, which has influenced his cinematic style throughout his huge career. He grew fond of the work of artists like Moebius, and is often regarded as the person who brought a Westernized style into manga. From the late seventies onwards, Otomo created numerous volumes of anthologies and short stories, which usually ran at 23 pages each. Serialization for Fireball was cancelled, though the premise and themes were later to appear in the Sci-Fi Grand Prix award winning Domu and Akira. Otomo later moved onto directing and creating notable anime like the film adaption of Akira, Memories, and Steamboy. His most recent manga have been the scripting of Mother Sarah and the short story Park released in an issue of Pafu last year. He has also directed several live action films, such as World Apartment Horror, Give Us A Gun/Give Us Freedom, and the 2006 feature film adaptation of the Mushishi manga.

Not quite as the gripping start as what Akira had, but there's still some seeds for a good story and character arcs up ahead, so we'll see.

Agrupo aquí la reseña de los 12 números de esta edición de Norma. Sin haber captado todas las referencias y lugares comunes ci-fi que debe tener, para mí lo que más luce en esta historia son los dramas de escala humana (madre coraje, escasez, hambre), que están mejor resueltos que el conflicto político y la guerra "porque sí" de los últimos tomos. "La Ciudad del Futuro" tiene cositas que enamoran, empezando por la propuesta de cómo frenar la hambruna desde una perspectiva colectivista y muy japonesa, pero creo que cierra con mucha prisa. Gráficamente, las splashpages y las páginas dobles son una delicia, con una calidad que está a años luz de cualquier manga moderno.

La trama seduce, al igual que el trazo.
Vamos a seguir avanzando en la historia con el próximo número. #dokushokurabu #clubdelectura #manga #octubre2022

8/10.
Leí este tomo y alguno más hace años gracias a la biblioteca de la universidad. Me encantó en su momento y llevo tiempo queriendo tener la colección completa. Esta relectura me ha gustado tanto como la primera vez. El dibujo es una pasada, la historia es muy interesante y la lectura es superligera. Muy fan de Sarah, protagonista luchadora.

The story is as barren as the surface of the wasteland in it. No emotion, no soul, just a mother, a war, a riot, human greed, POW work camps, run-of-the-mill stuff. I've seen better post-apocalyptic stories.
After planet Earth was devastated by a nuclear holocaust, the few survivors colonized a station in orbit around the planet. Seven years after the exodus, a scientist proposed a bomb to make the planet habitable again. Members of the group Epoch (or 'E') supported the idea and secretly went through with it. The Neo-Conservatives (or'NC') opposed it, leading to civil war and a new exodus to Mother Earth (or 'ME'), even though it would take years for the planet's environments to support life again. The war continues on the planet below. Some reports state that the E are losing.

»»» A posse:
Releitura depois de voltar a ver este livro numa arrumação em casa dos meus pais. É da minha irmã (segundo a dedicatória de há anos), mas depois da leitura não sei se a vou lembrar disso (eheheh!).
»»» A aventura:
Sarah percorre um planeta terra devastado por armas nucleares em busca dos filhos. Separaram-se há anos quando a família evacuava uma das estações orbitais de regresso ao planeta 7 anos depois da devastação.
Tsé-tsé, o vendedor ambulante com quem vai à boleia, pára numa cidade destruída, meio enterrada na terra, controlada por um grupo de militares. Ambos acabam envolvidos numa luta entre os militares e os civis quase escravizados que se rebelam.
A descoberta de ouro nas profundezas inundadas da cidade vem afetar ainda mais o precário equilíbrio social da cidade e Sarah é arrastada, pela sua boa vontade, para a resolução do conflito.
»»» Sentimento final:
Fora de série. Assombroso mesmo passado tantos anos.
Do mundo criado, às vestes, máquinas e veículos tudo está magnificamente concebido e desenhado. A história não fica atrás e a personagem principal é imponente.
»»» Nota final (capa e outras considerações):
--- [Capa] – Fabulosa.
--- [Ilustração] – Muito bom, melhor que alguns dos traços de mangas atuais. Muito pormenor e muitas imagens panorâmicas.
--- [Tamanho] – Esta edição tem o tamanho de um comic americano e não o tamanho pequeno e de bolso de um manga habitual (quer dizer, de um manga dos dias de hoje).

Mother Sarah was the first Manga that I ever read. This comic book by the Akira writer, Katsuhiro Otomo, depicts a post-apocalyptic Earth after a Nuclear War that went wrong. The survivors were forced to make new space ships around the Earth to form a new society and government.
The protagonist of the story, Sarah, is a woman hero who seeks her children that were lost in a Spacecraft. Humanity is divided into two factions, with a civil war on the break.
This graphic novel reminded me of Mad Max, mainly for the desert environment. The heroine, Mad Sarah (pun intended), is a strong and distinct woman that lives and survives among the remains of a devastated Planet.
The manga story is intense in-depth, furthermore, the artwork is formed of few texts in most of the pages. The drawing design is quite appealing, with interesting segments between scenes.
Rating:3.5/5 stars

Amb unes il·lustracions fetes al detall i un personatge principal femení tan fort com l'acer, enceta una sèrie de mangues que penso continuar per l'agilitat amb què es deu llegir i els missatges diversos que llança—l'avarícia condueix a l'egoisme i aquest, a l'enemistat, per exemple. En aquest primer volum, a més, alerta la humanitat de com podria ser un futur on sigui inviable viure al planeta, sigui per una guerra nuclear o per la crisi mediambiental vigent. També reconeix com en Toki, que fa vida de camperol, pretén ascendir de nivell econòmic i classe social mitjançant l'entrenament militar; però els seus valors li ho dificulten. Ara bé, també trobo que la manera de representar en Tse-tse, amb aquests llavis immensos i ulls guenyos, pot ser considerada problemàtica o fins i tot estereotípica.

Este primer tomo es entretenido y de ágil desarrollo. Pero no alcanza a enganchar demasiado, ni deja un "cliffhanger" necesario para dejar con ganas de más. Pero igual le daré la opción al segundo volúmen por el brillante diseño y dibujo (lejos lo mejor) y porque confío en que Otomo apriete el acelerador.

Uns desenhos do outro mundo e uma história apocalíptica simples e eficaz da mãe que procura os seus filhos que saíram de uma estação espacial após o caos entre 2 facões e que regressa à Terra muitos anos após uma guerra nuclear para os procurar.

Mais agressivo do que esperava mas com uma história algo interessante, lê-se muito rápido.

Arranca bastante bien... Y tiene pinta de que se va a poner mejor todavía. Guion y dibujo sinergizan a la perfección, aunque el tomo termina resultando demasiado "introductorio", y es eso lo que impide que alcance cómodamente la cuarta estrellita, que está casi merecida. Por suerte, es una introducción a una historia que promete mucho. Cuando pueda me lanzo a por el #2.

Muy bien esta primera toma de contacto con la serie. La calidad y el detalle del dibujo me tienen impresionante, uno se puede parar tranquilamente 10 minutos a saborear los grandes escenarios y su nivel de detalle. La historia es muy de introducción pero deja claro como estan las cosas en la tierra y lo fuerte e interesante que es el personaje femenino principal.
