Yuzo Takada

一種のエロ本である。
男子たるもの自動車や飛行機には必ず一度はあこがれを持つし、操縦してみたいと思う。あこがれの職業につくあこがれの女性操縦士（ジョシパイ）。セクシーさはないが、男性の欲情をコミックスとして具現化した名作である。ディザスタリカバリ/アクシデントハンドリングというのもいい。読んでいて感情が燃えてくる。ただし1巻のすばらしさは特筆なのだが、続巻は比較してしまうと盛り上がりに掛けると言わざるを得ない。… (plus d'informations)

This is an adorable series from the author of 3x3 Eyes. It features Meiji era supernatural hijinks. I love the matte covers and the quality of the art. Like a lot of historical series, though the people are all cartoonish, the backgrounds are detailed and realistic. I love seeing the blend of traditional Japanese culture with the new Western influences; lots of characters wear those cool period combos of traditional Japanese men's clothing with top hats or bowlers or flat caps.

The plot concerns the titular Shizume, a budding scientist and doctor who is possessed by supernatural creatures. Monster duels, phony faith healers, suspicious epidemics, wacky inventions, policemen in period uniform (ooh!), and the usual Meiji social upheaval abound.

This is much goofier and more supernatural than Rurouni Kenshin, but I think many RK fans would appreciate it nonetheless.… (plus d'informations)
