Not my cup of tea.
Recopilación de historias cortas y experimentales del maestro del ero-guro Suehiro Maruo publicadas originalmente en 1985. Una sucesión de relatos, sin conexión aparente más allá de alguna temática, que revela la inquietante perversidad en la mente del mangaka. Cada historia es aterradora, asquerosa, difícilmente comprensible, grotesca y muy, pero que muy turbia.
Violencia y sexo se mueven como pez en el agua por dos temáticas: la II guerra mundial y la tecnología. De cad ...more

Reading this manga feels like getting lost between realities. Unnerving, scary. It made me feel gross at times, like I was reading something more perverse than porn. Heavy themes of Cronenberg-esque body horror, psychosis and sex. It's always sexual with Suehiro Maruo. And it can never be JUST a pair of tits. They have to be a pair of tits attached to a lady blinded because her head is sliced in half. It has to be a pristine pair of perky tits attached to a rotting corpse.

No, no soy lo peor y he tardado meses en leerme esto. Soy lo peor porque en cuanto empecé la primera historia y vi que en cada una hacía una recomendación sobre cuál es la música perfecta para escuchar mientras se lee cada historia… lo quise hacer bien y en casa. Nunca encontraba el momento y lo fui dejando, y así hasta que me puse la semana pasada.

El título que tiene en español es «Paranoia star». Es excelente encontrar en estas historias una parte genuina de la creatividad del autor (que podría ser incómoda para muchos lectores). Cuando lo hacen los escritores suele perderse el contenido en la incomprensión; en el caso de Maruo no sucede esto, pues ha sabido utilizar las herramientas del manga a su favor, generando un en entorno propicio que desconecta de la realidad al lector sometiéndolo a las entrañas de las perversiones del autor.

Of all the works that I have read so far of Suehiro Maruo, this was certainly my favorite.
wtf did I just read?
Ero-guro or Edgelord: The Manga? YOU DECIDE!
That, in essence, covers the realm in which Suehiro Maruo works. His stock-in-trade is beautiful violence and sexualised despair, presented in a manner that borrows from older German and Japanese art. He presents abhorrent content in a lovingly-rendered format that would, in the hands of a lesser-skilled artist, be probably considered little more than pornography.

Num trabalho marcadamente pessoal, Maruo lida em histórias curtas com obsessões advindas da colisão entre ideologias e tecnologia. Algumas remetem directamente para a obra de P.K. Dick, com andróides a descobrir a sua condição não-humana ou seres humanos a quererem transcender os limites do corpo através de interfaces sangrentos com a máquina. Outra poderosa ideia nesta colecção prende-se com os perigos do militarismo e da crença cega em ideologias fanaticistas. O autor mostra um certo fascínio

I think it’s safe to say that I just didn’t get it. Mistranslation of just too psychological for me, either way I just can’t get behind it. Usually I’d reread something like this to completely appreciate the work and gather more answers but I’ll admit I can go my entire life without the need for anymore war, political, violent and surrealist work by this author. I also think this work has some bias. The art is great though.

Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. This is good. Creepy. Disturbing. Distressing. Symbolic. Real. Brutal. Surreal. Everything that makes a good introspective art on human nature. Just like A clockwork orange, Ichi The killer or blue velvet, it uses these elements of distress to its advantage and makes us think what human nature is capable of and in fact, what we could be capable of, if sanity was detached from us in the favor of... No pun intended.... Paranoia and madness.
Like most anthologies, a few of these feel like filler, but the best are up there with Maruo's strongest-ever work. The two fascist critiques in here (One of Nazi Germany and another of both Imperial Japan and America at once) are some of the best examples of incisive ero-guro art.

Those that enjoy war as a subject and science fiction will appreciate this manga. It was different than the usual horrors and oddities that come with Maruo— in a good way.
No sé qué pensar... Hay historias chulísimas y collage y momentos super interesantes pero el texto reflexivo del medio à la japanaise me dio un poco de cringe
