Preliminary Spoiler Feb 25, 2010 This is one of those stories you tend to read over and over again just so you could make more sense out of it and no matter how many times you read it, you find something different about it, something you never noticed was right there. That is the beauty of Nijigahara Holograph, and the gift which comes from the genius mind of Inio Asano, the creator of the beautiful manga, Solanin. It's funny how the name, Rainbow Field Holograph, is somewhat of a contrast to the theme of the manga. Where the title gives the reader the feeling that the manga will be full of ... Aug 22, 2008 Recommended Preliminary (15/15 chp) Nijigahara Holograph is a Seinen, Psychological, Mystery, Drama that will take anyone brave enough to read it, on a mind-trip. This is quite the experimental manga, as it delves into a realm that hasn’t been entered before, so you can expect to become lost in the intricate plot. One of the trickiest things to explain, about Nijigahara Holograph, is the story & plot because it is hard enough to comprehend, let alone articulate it in words. The manga is like a montage of the lives of different people, who are all interconnected in some way. There are numerous themes but the ones most prominent are on ... Mar 31, 2018 This analysis will cover specific details about Nijigahara Holograph, meaning: if you have not read the manga, it would be advisable to abstain from reading this review to avoid spoiling vital information. A critical work to be familiar with while reading Nijigahara Holograph is the book of Zhuangzi (considered a foundational text of Daoism), by Master Zhuang. One of the key concepts that is taught through this work is the idea of spontaneity, and how we should eschew from artificial distinctions (i.e. good versus evil, beauty versus ugliness, and usefulness versus uselessness). In creating these dichotomies, we remove ourselves from the natural flow of ... May 31, 2015 Remember when you read great pieces of literature in school and then spent two weeks analysing the different themes, motives and subplots of the work? Well, if there is one manga that deserves to be explored in such detail after the first reading, it is probably this one. Let's get the obvious parts out of the way. This is an Asano manga and, as such, it offers the common elements of coming-of-age drama, existential anxiety and depression, hard-hitting social and psychological realism and the overall ugly side of human nature.
The unique aspect of this particular work is the amount of supernatural and philosophical elements who play a ... Sep 8, 2013 Psychological manga fascinate me. The stories are usually told in a way that makes you have to go back and think about what you just read. Nijigahara Holograph is one of those stories. You can't just skim through this kind of story and take away it's entire meaning. Even if you read this manga several times, parts of it would still not fully make sense. And that's the beauty of it. Not everything in life always makes sense. To give a summary of the plot of Nijigahara Holograph would be an impossible feat, maybe even for the mangaka, Asano Inio (known for several works including Oyasumi ... Dec 31, 2017 Overall Opinion: I got nothing out of it. Story: 2/10. Was there a story? Not sure I noticed it. A bunch of violent things happen TO people or BECAUSE of people. They brood about it. For the first 20 pages, I was so confused I was starting to think that the pages had been connected in the wrong order by mistake. I didn't get much clarity as I progressed to the end. Characters: 3/10. Completely unlikable, can't relate to any, can't understand the motivations of any, most behave in unrealistic ways. 85% of the ... Aug 31, 2015 Asano Inio's works are known for the mature, realistic and character driven stories, that ranges from slice of life to psychological horror stories. Nijigahara Holograph is one of Asano's published works, but where to begin this manga? The story narrated was difficult to follow, and after reading it for a second time, it still wasn't clear what its ultimate purpose was. The story of Nijigahara Holograph revolves around the lives of Suzuki, a troubled boy; Komatsuzaki, an unpredictable bully whose trauma causes him to act in inexplicable way. Arakawa, who is in love with Komatsuzaki. A daughter in coma, a mother who committed suicide. Together with ... Jul 20, 2017 In some cases, a low rating doesn't mean I hate someone's work. There are some aspects to it that I believe could've worked better, and the writing is mostly at fault for failing to execute it well. This is why I have mixed thoughts with literature that tries to be too deep. Literary theorists would ponder for days trying to interpret a work as if it's the map to some unexplored treasure. While that isn't necessarily all that bad, many would exalt it as being intricate and something far more special than a common, straightforward narrative. An impressive feat, if not spent too much on dilly-dallying. After ... Aug 24, 2009 I don't want to rate this because I still don't understand 20% of it but I've finally thrown away my idea that manga is only or people that are obsessed with manga. It has a few themes in common with far too many other stories from the same medium but for some reason was much more enjoyable (if you could call it enjoyable, it is most certainly not pleasant), perhaps because usually this kind of themed story is done in the form of a fantasy or one big metaphor whereas this story uses fantasy and metaphor only to tie things together. Characters that ... Sep 13, 2009 Enigmatic, suggestive, disquieting… They are some of the adjectives with which we can describe to this work of the young mangaka Inio Asano. The plot is constructed in a kaleidoscopic way around several solitary young people whom they load on his backs with the weight of hard experiences of the past. Nijigahara is a common place for the main characters, a place where actions that will change their lives take place, wich is shown with flashbacks and flashforwards This manga is an analysis of the questions of childhood and adolescence, but, insted of giving answers, new riddles are shown, that, next to other situations it caused that ... Aug 6, 2018 Nijigahara holograph (虹 ヶ 原 ホ ロ グ ラ フ) is the second major work of Asano Inio. Written almost simultaneously with What a wonderful world!, this means that the two works are inevitably linked to each other. We are not talking about a similarity of literary genre or in the method of writing, but of that thread that unites all the works of every great author, each of them is a piece of the puzzle of the writer’s thought. Indeed Nijigahara holograph can be considered the twin work of What a wonderful world! but, unlike the latter, it explores the most obscure corners of ... Jul 19, 2014 Eleven years ago Arie Kimura, a young girl bullied by her classmates, fell down a well. As a result of her injuries she has been in a coma ever since. She told a story about a monster that lived in a tunnel along the Nijigahara embankment that would bring the world to an end, which terrified the other children. Arie’s accident is only one small part of an ongoing pattern of fear and violence. It isn’t a pleasant memory for anyone involved. Her friends, classmates, teachers, and family members have continued living their lives, but even more than a decade later they still can’t escape ... Mar 8, 2024 La siguiente reseña está en Español e Inglés (traducida con el apoyo de DeepL)
La versión leída es la traducción al español por Milky Way Ediciones “La muerte de una inocente afectará a sus seres cercanos por el resto de sus vidas” es una sencilla sinopsis del segundo trabajo de Inio Asano. Usualmente descrito como un rompecabezas donde sólo la constante relectura nos brinda algo de claridad en entender qué ocurrió, por qué sucedió y qué terminó implicando para los involucrados. Es una estructura similar a su anterior obra, se diferencia en que no hay narrador único sino que es un grupo cerrado de personajes, cambiando de narrador ... May 10, 2024 I've read a few of Asano's works and was particularly impressed by Oyasumi Punpun, therefore I decided to give Nijigahara Holograph a read after reading the premise on MAL. Finished it in one night as it is a relatively brief manga, and my GOD was I disappointed. The troubling thing about it is that Asano really knows how to structure a manga- the way the panels are laid out, the use of visuals, the narration - he is really REALLY good at it. Thus its disappointing that he would use his talent to write such a miserable and confusing manga. I will start by discussing my ...

The more I read the more I liked it. "Oh, that makes sense!". But I felt he could have done much more with the rape/sexual imagery. He teased a lot of things like the idea of pedophilia but he backed out. It felt to much like a copout every time he would put the boy/woman girl/man in a boner (sexual) situation and then.......
nothing.
I will most like never get most of the themes since most of it will end up unconfirmed but I felt the story was clear enough that i understood what was going on the whole way through reading it all in one ... Apr 17, 2018 If there's one overarching attitude in the world of media that irks me, it's the idea that something being less accessible somehow makes it more artistic. The back cover of the American edition of Nijihara Hologram calls the single-volume work "complex, challenging, and elliptical." Apparently, this is code for "pretentious, nonsensical, and over-complicated." Now, be it far from me to be upset with a work for challenging its audience - I have no problem with having to think while I read - but there's a fine line between a work asking its readers to think and a work being so needlessly confusing you'd need a flowchart ... Jun 22, 2018 Nijigahara Holograph by Inio Asano
Long-Winded Review #2 [Sleep Deprivation Edition] Nijigahara Holograph is an absolute masterpiece. When a story makes you endlessly theorize and try to piece together all the symbolism, timelines, and subplots, you know it's a damn good one. Someone could write a book longer than this manga just analyzing it. It's that literately dense. This book is a puzzle, a maze, a dream, and a mosaic. It takes a lot of skill to put together a story such as this, and Inio Asano absolutely nails it. I'm sure some have criticized it for being confusing, but this is not meant to be ... Dec 3, 2016 Asano is formed with the kanji combination 浅野, where 浅 alone can mean shallow or shameful, and 野, plains, rustic or civil life. Inio is formed out by hiragana, so I don't really know if this is his real name (I searched for it and came up with nothing), but this is as far as my japanese knowledge go (with the internet's help). Interesting enough, 浅 in combination with からぬ assumes a new meaning, of deep (of emotions or connections). Personally, I think his name sums up playfully not only Nijigahara, but all of his work. Well, most important: if you walk in this manga expecting to ... May 2, 2014 "Nijigahara Holograph" really leave lots of lingering questions after reading the first time. The first read will get you a sense of characters recognition and then the second read will most likely help you understand the whole story. You'll need to read it three times to complete the timeline puzzle the author left. The GOOD about this manga:
- Once you've pieced all the scattered scene together, you will understand the story very well which takes about 3 read to to this.
- The characters are very well developed and connecting them is what make the story interesting. The BAD about this manga:
- All characters are sick ... |
