La siguiente resea est en Espaol e Ingls traducida con el apoyo de DeepL La versin leda es la traduccin al Espaol por IlsonCoaquira del grupo Ragnarok Valkyrie Si eres fantico de las comedias romnticas escolares seguro te has topado con Karakai Jouzu no Takagisan del autor Souichirou Yamamoto su dinmica de chica molestando chico an no siendo el primero de este tropo que se popularizo durante la dcada pasada s es el ms representativo demostrado en su exitosa adaptacin con 3 temporadas y una pelcula. De su misma mano llegara la presente obra cuya dinmica responde al planteamiento de Y si fuera al contrario?. Aqu es el chico Tanaka Ayumu quien provocar sonrojos a Yaotome Urushi la chica. Eso s se distancia de Takagi porque no tiene de principal motivacin a la broma y chanza su principal motivacin es confesarse con honor al superar en una partida en Shogi a su senpai Urushi. Su nombre no carece de significado y se seala durante la historia es similar al nombre del pen en Shogi una pieza carente de habilidades hasta que puede convertirse en una pieza ms poderosa una comparacin exacta al camino elegido por Tanaka. Y de esa manera queda estipulada la dinmica de la mayora de sus captulos durante el enfrentamiento del shogi o en actividades escolares Ayumu y Urushi pasarn el tiempo juntos siempre existiendo un momento en que l dice algo con seriedad desarmando emocionalmente a Urushi quien inevitablemente no podr realizar otra cosa sino sonrojarse aunque de vez en cuando puede devolver esos golpes anmicos a Tanaka. 440https://i.ur.com/zfty4Y6.png La dinmica se presenta pronto y directa para que el lector decida si aceptar que en cunto a desarrollo y evolucin no ver mucho ms que lo presentado. Tampoco carece de otros elementos adicionales para la construccin del escenario ambos personajes tienen sus crculos sociales otros intereses o situaciones familiares que construyen su personalidad. Una estructura que termina beneficiando al enfoque principal porque brinda ms herramientas para plantear nuevas situaciones malentendidos y observaciones con motivo de conseguir esa enternecedora vergenza. Y an siendo avances leves que podra haber sido reducido en una historia que s puede calificarse de extensa y repetitiva en diferentes secciones hay una evolucin en la pareja principal. Se van despojando de excusas y doble sentido para ser ms sinceros en sus sentimientos respecto al otro en las acciones que quieren realizar para estar tiempo juntos fuera del horario escolar presentando esas situaciones familiares del gnero. A su vez la fatiga tambin se mitiga por la existencia de un grupo de amistad secundario que de vez en cuando tiene algn que otro captulo de protagonismo habiendo otra pareja con una divertida dinmica la cul no le habra venido mal tener unos captulos ms las amigas de Urushi sobre todo la divertida Maki quin tambin se divierte molestando a Yaotome y sobre todo Rin quin consigue que varios de sus captulos posteriores se conviertan en divertidas dinmicas a 3 bandas complementando y antagonizando con ambos protagonistas segn el momento. 440https://i.ur.com/n0UkNPo.png Tambin le beneficia tener captulos cortos no pasando de las 10 pginas siendo situaciones dedicadas a un slo gag en una situacin particular. Evidentemente de leerse seguido puede ser ms repetitivo de lo que debera ser de dedicarse un espacio ms amplio de lectura esas costuras son menos notables porque nos quedamos con el recuerdo del sonrojo o una broma particular. De igual manera aprendemos sobre Shogi ms tampoco quiero implicar sea especialmente educativo al respecto son mencionadas tcnicas e ideas adems de dinmicas varias que desconoca podan ser aplicadas sobre el juego. Dada la reducida duracin de sus captulos Souichirou le brinda mayor prioridad a la ilustracin que a los planteamientos enmaquetados de sus paneles se recuesta sobre las reacciones divertidas y ser el experimentado ilustrador que es para captar la atencin del lector y representar el ncleo del momento de la mejor manera posible. Aunque el diseo es muy similar al de Takagi la actitud logra diferenciar a Urushi. El resto de personajes si bien consiguen distinguirse de esa obra afn no llegan a ser especialmente memorables. Aun as esto no desmerece ni rebaja el sobresaliente trabajo de Yamamoto en el diseo e ilustracin de personajes. Responder a la pregunta de revertir la dinmica chica molestando chico de la mano de Souichirou es un acierto. Tenemos otra visin romntica y tierna de ese amor puro escolar para los fanticos del gnero en divertidas bromas situaciones y sobre todo esos enternecedores sonrojos del uno hacia el otro. 440https://i.ur.com/rMp6cGZ.png English If you are a fan of school romantic comedies you have surely come across Karakai Jouzu no Takagisan by Souichirou Yamamoto. Its girl teasing boy dynamicwhile not the first of this trope that became popular during the past decadeis certainly the most representative as demonstrated by its successful adaptation with three seasons and a film. From the same author comes this present work whose dynamic answers the question: What if it were the other way around? Here it is the boy Tanaka Ayumu who causes Yaotome Urushi to blush. That said it distances itself from Takagisan because its main motivation is not teasing or playful banter. Ayumus primary goal is to confess honorably after defeating his senpai Urushi in a game of shogi. His name is not without meaningsomething pointed out within the storyas it resembles the name of the pawn in shogi a piece lacking special abilities until it can be promoted into something more powerful. An exact comparison to the path Tanaka chooses. Thus the dynamic of most chapters is established: during shogi matches or school activities Ayumu and Urushi spend time together and there is always a moment when he says something earnestly emotionally disarming Urushi who inevitably can do nothing but blushthough occasionally she can return those emotional blows to Tanaka. 440https://i.ur.com/CLwDPTr.png The dynamic is presented early and directly allowing the reader to decide whether to accept that in terms of development and evolution there will not be much beyond what is initially offered. However the series does not lack additional elements for worldbuilding. Both characters have social circles other interests and family situations that help shape their personalities. This structure ultimately benefits the central focus as it provides more tools to create new situations misunderstandings and observations aimed at eliciting that endearing embarrassment. Even though the progress may be slightand perhaps could have been condensed in what can be considered a rather long and at times repetitive seriesthere is growth in the main couple. They gradually shed excuses and double meanings to become more honest about their feelings as well as about the actions they wish to take to spend time together outside school hours presenting those familiar genre situations. Fatigue is also alleviated by the presence of a secondary friend group which occasionally takes center stage. There is another couple with a fun dynamic that could have benefited from a few more chapters. Urushis friendsespecially the playful Maki who also enjoys teasing Yaotome and particularly Rincreate entertaining threeway dynamics in later chapters sometimes complementing and at other times antagonizing the protagonists depending on the moment. 440https://i.ur.com/201hqVT.png The short chapter lengthrarely exceeding ten pagesalso works in its favor as most revolve around a single gag in a specific situation. Naturally reading them consecutively can make the repetition more noticeable. When spaced out over time those seams are less evident and what lingers is the memory of a blush or a particular joke. Along the way we also learn a bit about shogithough I would not claim it is especially educational. Techniques and ideas are mentioned as well as certain gameplay dynamics I was unaware could be applied. Given the brevity of the chapters Souichirou places greater emphasis on illustration than on elaborate panel compositions. He leans on expressive humorous reactions and his experience as an illustrator to capture the readers attention and represent the emotional core of each moment as effectively as possible. Although the character design is very similar to that of Takagisan Urushis personality manages to distinguish her. The rest of the cast while different enough from that related work are not particularly memorable. Even so this does not diminish Yamamotos outstanding work in character design and illustration. Answering the question of reversing the girl teasing boy dynamic under Souichirous hand proves to be a success. We are given another romantic and tender perspective on that pure school love for fans of the genrefilled with playful jokes charming situations and above all those heartwarming blushes shared between the two. 440https://i.ur.com/cg23qtZ.png
