La siguiente resea est en Espaol e Ingls traducida con el apoyo de DeepL La versin leda es la licenciada al espaol por Norma Editorial Durante los aos que Asano estuvo en la serializacin de Dead Dead Demons Dededededestruction public otras historias en diferentes revistas en un calendario irregular. Entre ellas la presente que se remonta de 2015 hasta 2018 siendo compilado en un nico volumen con 168 pginas incluyendo portada y contraportada. Desde su comienzo captamos que es una parodia de un viaje del hroe una protagonista menor edad rodeada de compaeros en su mayora animales antropomrficos derrotando al villano de turno con una posterior reflexin. As mismo se capta rpidamente cul es el esquema de la estructura de los captulos en la primera parte de la historia como tambin se comprende el trasfondo cnico previsible considerando al autor. En cada captulo es presentado cierto tema como la narrativa alrededor de la verdad la hipocresa en las relaciones o el amor idealizado los personajes a travs de sus variados puntos de vista discuten sobre el mismo aunque tampoco sea especialmente ahondado seguramente a propsito para reflejar cmo an s abordamos diariamente los mismos dilemas o similares nicamente rozamos la problemtica con tal de decir que ha sido tratada. 440https://i.ur.com/s1vaasf.png Constituye una interesante primera parte porque aparte de ese cinismo sigue teniendo toques de comedia que recuerdan a DDDD especialmente presentes en sus rimbombantes diseos de personaje o la repeticin para construir absurdo. En s misma la estructura es el principal argumento de su temtica acerca del antagonismo del contrario sea porque piensa o es diferente y que mientras haya un otro el ser humano tiende hacia el enfrentamiento en vez de la convivencia. Una construccin que deba ser encausada hacia una conclusin. Y entonces la segunda parte se apoya sobre los vicios recurrentes de Asano. Utilizar el realismo/cinismo como la salida fcil para la narrativa a expensas de reducir a sus personajes a meros vehculos emocionales la protagonista no es ms definida sino encapsulada. An as puedo argumentar que esa segunda parte representa otra vuelta de tuerca a la estructura hasta entonces y puede encajar de todas maneras estara por debajo de trabajos previos no me refiero a los serializados sino a otros One Shots con temticas similares. Entonces podra abordarlo como un trabajo ms dedicado a lo experimental pero slo por aceptacin mi apreciacin no ser menor o mayor slo es una forma de entenderlo. Y s as fuera me hubiese gustado que fuese todava ms particular en vez de haber cado en sus terrenos conocidos debera haber mantenido esa extraez e innovacin de la primera parte. Se nota que es un trabajo fragmentado a travs de varios aos. 440https://i.ur.com/PQ6oKzH.png En su apartado artstico tiene la particularidad de estar a color con un tono cobrizo combinado con sombras lo cul consigue una excelente armona para los que considero sus mejores paneles. Su diseo de personajes est cercano a ese tono moerealista de DDDD lo cul le viene perfecto considerando su pretensin de parodiar una narracin infantil y en cunto a su presentacin en el posicionamiento panel a panel se beneficia de la estructura episdica para construir un buen ritmo de repeticin y referencias. Asano no es indiferente a la experimentacin en formas y narrativas con tal de expresarse o explorar su capacidad de comunicacin/representacin. Considero a Yuushatachi dentro de esa categora sin que haya conseguido algo particularmente diferente o especial a otros One Shots al contrario termina abandonando ese intento de otras cosas para dirigirse a los terrenos familiares de Asano sin adquirir otra capa de inters en cambio pervierte la que haba construido. 440https://i.ur.com/MhAs1Lf.png English During the years Asano was serializing Dead Dead Demons Dededededestruction he published other stories in different magazines on an irregular schedule. Among them is the present work which ran from 2015 to 2018 and was later compiled into a single volume of 168 pages including front and back cover. From the very beginning it becomes clear that this is a parody of the heros journey: a young protagonist accompanied mostly by anthropomorphic animals defeating the villain of the moment and ending with a brief reflection. Just as quickly the structural pattern of the chapters in the first half becomes evident as does the cynical undertone predictable considering the author. Each chapter introduces a particular topic: the narrative surrounding truth hypocrisy in relationships or idealized love. The characters discuss it from multiple points of view yet never in true depth almost certainly on purpose reflecting how even when we confront these dilemmas daily we merely brush against them so we can claim theyve been addressed. 440https://i.ur.com/9AXDjrZ.png It makes for an interesting first half because despite the cynicism it still holds comedic beats reminiscent of DDDD especially present in its flamboyant character designs or its use of repetition to build absurdity. The structure itself serves as the main argument of its theme: antagonism toward the other whether for thinking differently or simply being different. And as long as there is an other humans tend to confrontation rather than coexistence. A construction that needed to lead somewhere. Then the second half leans on Asanos recurring vices using realism/cynicism as the easy narrative escape at the expense of reducing characters to mere emotional devices. The protagonist is no longer developed only encapsulated. Even so one could argue that this second half represents yet another twist on the established structure and that it can still fit but nevertheless remains below previous works. I dont mean the serialized ones but rather his other OneShots dealing with similar themes. So it might be better approached as a work more devoted to experimentation but even if that were the case my appreciation wouldnt be higher or lower merely differently framed. And if it were meant as such I would have preferred it to go even further in that direction. Instead of falling back into familiar territory it should have maintained the strangeness and innovation of its first part. Its very evident this is a fragmented work written over several years. 440https://i.ur.com/JSN1LAh.png Visually it stands out for being in color with a copperlike tone combined with shading achieving excellent harmony in what I consider its best panels. The character design is close to the moerealistic look of DDDD which suits its intention of parodying a childrens narrative. Meanwhile the paneltopanel layout benefits from the episodic structure building a strong rhythm through repetition and callbacks. Asano is never indifferent to formal or narrative experimentation when it comes to expressing himself or exploring his capacity for communication and representation. I consider Yuushatachi part of that category yet one that doesnt achieve anything particularly different or remarkable compared to his other OneShots. On the contrary it abandons its attempt at otherness only to return to Asanos familiar territory without gaining a new layer of interest instead corrupting the one it had initially built. 440https://i.ur.com/uyiVkw0.png
