Seventeen years ago, the U.S. military captured the legendary immortal soldiers on the battlefields of Africa, and since then humans have called this creature that looks exactly like itself but does not die "subhuman". Subhumans do not die for any factor, so they can only be distinguished by "dying once". High school student Kei Nagai was accidentally killed by a truck on the way out of school, but was immediately revived. As a result, he became the "third sub-person in Japan" and was offered a high reward ever since. Not wanting to be an experimental animal, he embarked on an adventure to escape all of humanity.
The above is the sci-fi action manga "Yaren", which began in 2012 and was serialized in the manga monthly magazine "good!afternoon" and ended in February this year. Unlike all the manga artists who have had inspirational experiences, the author of this game, Sakurai Kōmon, is a veteran "stinky gamer". His Twitter account is full of thoughts from when he plays the game:
Twitter head and avatar are self-portraits of him
Titans Fall 2
BO4 play flash spray chips
When playing Death Stranding, I have a lot of feelings for my car
He even served as a Canadian self-detonator
Call of Duty, R6S, Battlefield & Death Stranding, a list of typical shooter game for enthusiasts. And he himself is also a military man who has played many real guns and air guns, which makes his "Asian" a wonderful story like the single-player mode of FPS games.
At the same time, it also made one of the selling points of this comic - more rigorous detail than some Hollywood blockbusters:
Accurate close-up of the firearm
The PSV is accurately drawn, or the 1000 model
Detailed description of the bullet change screen
The real-life Lu Zi Special Warfare Group
"Asian Selection Group"
The real-life Metropolitan Police Department Special Assault Force (SAT), R6S hibana and Echo belong
In the classic scene in the manga, the SAT brigade sets out to capture Sato
Of course, just piling up the picture can't impress the audience.
Another selling point of "Asian" is the wonderful diagonal scene - from the middle of the period, the protagonist group with the male protagonist Kei Nagai as the core and the villain Samuel Samuel. T. Owen "Sato" battle of wits.
Sato's trademark spooky smile
From strategizing and fighting with guns and guns to fighting with meat, the climax stage of the plot is quite enjoyable. Although there will be a slight water length in the series, it can be said that there is no urine point in the current breath when the manga has been completed. The battle of the building, which culminates in the mid-term plot, has delicate characters and battle descriptions, the most highlight of which is the scene of the broken hand teleportation:
The Fork Security Company building, which is the target location, is tightly sealed by security guards, making it more difficult for him, who has become a famous terrorist, to enter directly, but Yaren Sato makes full use of his immortal ability: when he dies, he will be resurrected based on the largest piece of meat.
He cut off one of his own hands, mixed it into a fried chicken takeaway, and delivered it to the building.
After the hand and the takeaway were delivered to the building, he jumped into the shredder and was resurrected from the largest "piece of meat", that is, the chopped hand:
In both animated and live-action films, this amazing plot is also used as the climax of the story.
In addition, Sakurai's bento is also not soft.
The clean departure of this little brother also shocked many readers. The "absolutely undead" are only a few protagonists and villains, and ordinary people with flesh and blood are as fragile as explosives and muzzles and water-stained paper. But even so, the battles between Sato and the SAT, Sato's countermeasure squad, and the Izuma Base Self-Defense Force are enough to feel the three-dimensional portrayal of characters in the manga, which is exactly the "grandfather" flavor that is missing in Reiwa's anime works.
A SAT brigade of 50 men, including snipers
500-man in-the-ground garrison
Four professional mercenaries in Sato's countermeasure class
At the same time as writing this article, I also revisited the manga. "Yaren" animation and live-action movies were all the rage a few years ago, but the sensory experience brought by the original manga to readers is far beyond animation and movies, and I hope that students who have watched animation but have not watched manga can go to see this only anime work that can bring "real" shock to people in recent years except for the "Shanha" movie.
