Suzunari #1

Suzunari!, Vol. 1

Rate this book
Kaede Takamura's teenage life swerves to the brink of insanity when she comes face to face with her twin...or does she? Suzu is practically the mirror-image of Kaede - except for having cat ears and a tail and being far more well-endowed than Kaede thinks any teenager ought to be. But the Takamuras have no qualms about bringing this strange, happy-go-lucky catgirl into their home. With Suzu completely ignorant of the ways of modern society, it's going to be a very long year for poor Kaede.

Shoko Iwamin "Suzunari vol. 1" (Punainen jättiläinen, 2011) aloittaa kaksiosaisen mangasarjan, joka kertoo lukiolaistyttö Kaede Takamurasta ja eräänä päivänä hänen elämäänsä tupsahtavasta kissankorvaisesta "kaksoissisaresta" Suzusta. Vanhemmat suhtautuvat Suzuun alusta pitäen hyvin ymmärtäväisesti, mutta Kaeden täytyy tehdä töitä päästäkseen asian kanssa sinuiksi, olkoonkin että Suzun osoittama kiintymys on hyvin aseistariisuvaa. Mutta mikä Suzu oikein on ja mistä hän tulee?

Suzun ja Kaeden ympärille keskittyvän sarjakuvan sivuhenkilöistä esille voi nostaa peliriippuvuudesta kärsivän opettajan sekä moe-kulttuuriin (katsokaa Wikipediasta, niin minäkin tein) pahemman kerran fiksoituneen luokkakaverin.

Neliruutuisista stripeistä koostuva ja niiden kautta pidemmän tarinakokonaisuuden muodostava sarjakuva ei ole hillittömän hauska tai muutenkaan erityisen mieleenpainuva tapaus näin mangaa kohtalaisen vähän lukevan kolmekymppisen mielestä, mutta ihan sympaattisena välipalanahan tuon saattoi lukea.

"Suzunari" tuskin avautuu täydessä mitassaan aivan pienimmille lukijoille, ja vaikka sarjakuva varsin harmiton tapaus onkin, niin puhdasmielisimmät saattavat pahoittaa mielensä niistä stripeistä, jotka keskittyvät päähenkilöiden eri paria oleviin rinnanympäryksiin.

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I really am! It's super adorable and quirky and weird and it totally works in its 4-koma format. Plus, it's yuri-slanted manga that's not porn, which is always a plus for me (although it's a bit ecchi, thus the 'older teen' warning). I think I'm most like Kaede of all the folks in this series, yikes. Luckily, I got both volumes of this manga at the same time; no wait between books for me!

Its a sweet idea, but the format really made it difficult for me. The panels going downward just made the transitions jarring.

I have enough info based on this book to predict what is going on and feel no real compulsion to read the sequel.

Its cute. The artwork is charming. And the side characters are funny (though not well fleshed out).

This book is painful to read -- it is too cute! My only reason for giving a 2-star is that it has a good appendix describing Japanese culture referenced in the middle of the cuteness. I bought both volumes, so more pain lies ahead.

I do not expect anyone else to give this four stars, but I am a huge sucker for yuri kittygirls. And for 4-koma, really.

Cutest little four-koma comic I have ever read!
