Lihat sinopsis

Walaupun hanya bisa menyewa sebuah apartemen sempit, akhirnya kehidupan bebas Choi Woo Hyuk dimulai.

Namun, saat dia berniat membagikan kue tteok pada tetangga sebelahnya, ia melihat seekor naga sedang bermain game.

Ternyata, tetangga barunya adalah seekor naga!

Setelah laaaama terkena readers-block, webtoon ini sukses bikin mood bacaku yang menghilang kembali. Ceritanya yang simpel tapi full imajinasi (dan tidak seperti manga yang kebanyakan hitam-putih, karena ini asalnya dari media Webtoon, gravel ini  full color hingga lebih mudah dicerna dan dinikmati), ditambah karakter-karakternya yang super konyol... ehm.. KONYOL (dengan huruf kapital semua!!), sukses bikin ngakak-ngakak sendiri. Nggak naga-naganya, nggak manusianya... ya ampyuuun...

Tapi meskipun komikal dan cenderung slapstick, ternyata tetap masih banyak cerita-cerita realistis yg diangkat. Dari perjuangan sebagai pekerja muda yang baru masuk persaingan industri, sampai suka dukanya jadi mangaka dan penulis novel. Ditambah masalah keluarga dan perjodohan, naah, lengkap dah. Ada juga suka dukanya jadi naga yang harus sembunyi di dunia manusia #EH *itu mah bukan cerita realistis!!*

Kesimpulannya.... nagaaaa juga manusiaaaa, punya rasa punya hati... jangan samakan dengan.... imugi.... #EH #EH #EH *kok malah nyanyi gak karuan ki piye??* :D

Ah sudahlah...  tadi kulihat di naver, ternyata Webtoon ini ada season 2-nya. Kapan ya dibukukan lagi...

Notes:
Aku hepi banget dan surprise waktu lihat Penerbit Haru menerbitkan Webtoon. Semoga ke depannya Penerbit Haru ini makin sering melirik Webtoon untuk jadi andalannya, bukan hanya yg komedi ringan seperti yang ini atau Blood Type, tapi juga yang genre action seperti Noblesse, City of Dead Sorcerer dan Tower of God. Buat alternatif bacaan selain shonen manga lah.

Seeeep... sabar menanti nih *sambil main game bareng Woo Hyuk dan Yong*.

Seichii Kirisima, seorang penulis yang tertolak di semua perusahaan berusaha keras untuk membahagiakan keluarganya. Miki, istrinya terus menuntutnya untuk bekerja keras tanpa memahami permasalahannya.
Dengan semua kekalutan itu, Jun, putra mereka meninggal karena jatuh dari balkon sementara Seichii berada di kamar tanpa mengetahui Miki meninggalkan Jun sendiri. Ketika semua orang menekan dan menyalahkannya, Seichii merasa sangat ketakutan dan terus diteror dengan kemarahannya. Saat itu itulah kegelapan menyelimuti Seichii, pria yang sesungguhnya hanya menginginkan sebuah keluarga kecil yang bahagia dan berharap bisa memulai dari awal lagi.

Suatu malam saat sedang melihat update di akun goodreads, aku tertarik melihat cover manga ini. Ilustrasi seorang monster(?) sedang merobek dan mengintip melalui dinding kertas. Apalagi saat seorang teman menuliskan review singkatnya sebagai "Cerita dan gambarnya bagus. Suka sama komik ini." Sungguh menggelitik naluri kekepoanku. Maka kucarilah versi scanlation-nya di situs manga langgananku dan mulai membaca.

Kesalahaaaan besaaar......

Hari Komik dan Animasi Nasional

Meskipun tidak banyak yang tahu dan memperingati, tanggal 12 Maret ini sebenarnya telah didaulat menjadi Hari Komik dan Animasi Nasional. Bermula dari tanggal 12 Februari 1998 saat diselenggarakannya Pekan Komik dan Animasi Nasional di Galeri Nasional, Jakarta, Dirjen Kebudayaan Depdiknas saat itu, Ibu Edi Sedyawati berserta beberapa komikus dan animator senior mengusulkan supaya komik dan animasi lokal punya momen yang bisa diperingati setiap tahunnya sebagai gerakan nasional. Setelah berdiskusi, tanggal 12 Februari kemudian dicanangkan sebagai Hari Komik Nasional. Selain itu, tanggal12 Februari juga diperingati sebagai Hari Geliat Animasi Nasional.

Jadi, Selamat Hari Komik dan Animasi Nasional. Semoga komik Indonesia makin jaya, makin banyak ragamnya dan tidak kalah dengan Comic, Manga, Manhwa maupun Manhua dari luar negeri. Kalau bukan kita yang mencintai komik dalam negeri, siapa lagi?

Jadi ceritanya aku sedang membacasebuah novel bergenre Romans Sejarah untuk posbar BBI bulan ini. Nah, kalau membicarakan sejarah Indonesia, tentu saja akan sedikit-sedikit bersinggungan dengan tokoh Gubernur Jendral Jaan Pieterzoon Coen. Ia adalah tokoh yang berhasil mengalahkan pasukan Inggris dan kemudian Mataram di Jayakarta dan memindahkan pasukan Kompeni (Compagnie / VOC) ke sana dan menamainya menjadi Batavieren (Batavia), tokoh yang pertama kali menjayakan VOC di bumi Hindia Belanda hingga bercokol selama tiga setengah abad kemudian. Saat membaca hal ini di novel tersebut, tiba-tiba saja aku teringat sebuah komik Indonesia jadul yang juga membahas tokoh ini dalam nuansa komikal, berhadapan dengan dua orang legenda betawi sableng yang selalu membuatnya repot tergopoh-gopoh dan dipermalukan. Itulah kedua jagoan kita Sawungkampret dan Naip bin Jali.

Wonderstruck.

won·der·struck  ˈwəndərˌstrək/  adjective  1. (of a person) experiencing a sudden feeling of awed delight or wonder.

Judul yang sangat sesuai untuk novel ini, karena memang itulah perasaan yang aku dapati saat membacanya. Tiba-tiba terserang rasa senang yang bukan kepalang, hingga tak terasa 600-an halaman buku ini diselesaikan dalam beberapa jam saja. Bukan karena tiba-tiba aku punya talenta superhero ala Flash atau kemampuan baca super cepatnya Dr. Reid, tapi memang novel ini separuhnya berbentuk tulisan (yang font-nya cukup lebar sehingga mudah dinikmati mata lelahku -- kayaknya ukuran kacamata sudah perlu di tes ulang ini #malahcurhat), dan separuhnya lagi diberikan dalam bentuk ilustrasi ala wordless novel.

Horeee... review kali ini menampilkan sebuah komik jepang (manga) yang belum diterbitkan. Heeh bagaimana mungkin??!?

Seperti biasa, manga-manga di Jepang lazimnya diterbitkan bukan per tankubon (volume) namun per chapter, yang dimuat secara berkala dalam majalah kumpulan komik. Nah, seri yang satu ini biasa dimuat di Hakusensha's shōjo manga magazine LaLa, dan chapter terakhirnya -chapter 85- diterbitkan akhir Oktober yang lalu (aku, tentu saja, selalu membaca edisi scanlation-nya, yang beredar luas biasanya hanya dua hari setelah tanggal terbit majalah). Tankubon-nya diterbitkan oleh Hana to Yume Comics, seri 17 telah terbit Agustus lalu dan seri terakhirnya ini dijadwalkan terbit akhir 2013.

Anya's Ghost

Anya's Ghost ini menceritakan tentang Anya, murid SMU keturunan Rusia di Amerika (yang nama lengkapnya sulit sekali untuk dilafalkan oleh guru-gurunya), yang selalu merasa kurang populer, tak punya teman, sulit dipahami & memahami ibunya dan selalu diganggu adik kecilnya. Yah, masalah-masalah biasa untuk seorang remaja. Suatu ketika Anya terperosok dalam sebuah lubang di taman kota dan di sana ia menemukan seorang 'bff' yang sedikit luar biasa, sesosok hantu yang tulang-belulangnya teronggok dalam lubang itu selama lebih dari 90 tahun. Dengan bantuan si hantu ini, Anya jadi lebih pandai (dicontekin sama si hantu), jadi bintang konyol di pelajaran olahraga (padahal gara2 kesandung hantu), berkenalan sama cowok paling populer di sekolah (dibisikin si hantu), bahkan diajak pergi ke pesta bersama-sama (setelah didandanin sama si hantu juga).

Tapi ternyata popularitas bukanlah jawaban segalanya, Apalagi kemudian si hantu sedikit demi sedikit berubah dari sahabat jadi 'sahabat' ala film single white female. Hyyyiiii...........

***

Tema cerita dan konflik-konfliknya standar anak abegeh, plus adanya culture shock Rusia-Amerika --yang kemungkinan sesuai dengan keadaan pengarangnya yang juga turunan Rusia yang besar di Amerika-- yang dialami oleh Anya dan ibunya. Sang ibu masih sedikit banyak berpegangan pada nilai-nilai leluhurnya sedangkan Anya merasa tradisi seperti itu malah semakin menjauhkannya dari keadaan remaja 'normal' di sekelilingnya. Tapi itu semua diilustrasikan dengan simpel tapi lumayan bagus di gn ini. Layout panel-panelnya sangat teratur memudahkan pembacaan.

Sayang sekali edisi terjemahan Indonesianya ini hanya menterjemahkan isi pop-up ballon-nya saja dan sangat malas membersihkan dan menuliskan kembali sfx-nya (benar-benar masih lebih bagus scanlation gratisan manga/manhua di berbagai situs di internet). Demikian pula terjemahannya yang dibuat gaya Jakarta sekali, dengan pemakaian Lu, Gue dan bahkan umpatan makian yang terdengar (terbaca) sangat tidak enak di telinga (mata). Melihat sekian banyak Lit. Awards yang diterima, sebenarnya saya jadi ingin sekali membaca graphic novel ini dalam bahasa aslinya, untuk membandingkan apa yang sebenarnya diungkapkan dengan versi translasinya ini. Apakah bahasa yang digunakan dalam novel ini memang sekasar itu, sampai harus ditranslasikan "Anj**g Lu!" di salah satu panelnya?

Noblesse (노블레스) is an online manhwa written by Son Jae Ho and illustrated by Lee Gwang Su. It is a story about a powerful Noblesse, Cadis Etrama Di Raizel, who slept for 820 years and woke up one day in South Korea in an abandoned building. With the help of his faithful servant Frankenstein he enrolls in Ye Ran high school where he befriends Ikhan,Shinwoo and Yuna. The series follows the group's often dangerous adventures against a secret organization while uncovering Rai's past.

This is the first webtoon I ever read, and unexpectedly addictive. Really like the colorful graphics and how the illustration go back and forward between full color and greyish tones to set the mood of the story. I like the simple graphic lines. And I also (suprisedly!) like the simple rectangle-landscape-format panellings. The story itself was started a little slow in season 1, but then picked up pace. The endings (season 1-5) were always good and promised to have a lot of steam for the next season to come.

=============

Season 1 (Awakening/Human World/Union)

In this first installment, we meet Cadis Etrama di Raizel - or Rai as the girls would called him-, a noblesse that found himself awaken after slumbering for 820 years. While wondering this new modern world he encounters his faithful servant, Frankenstein - now a principal in an elite private high school in Seoul - and thus befriend with some -not so- regular highschooller, Shinwoo the extraordinare jog, Ikhan the hacker, and Yoonah the pretty. In the mean time, a secret organization called The Union sent some of their men to retrieve Rai casket, not knowing what it trully been held. This organization was the same one that entagled with noblesse fate centuries ago and for a looooong time has been experimenting to make enhanced super humans. When some of these experiments broke loose and threaten human lives, Rai dan Frankenstein must stood up and protect the civilization as their noblesse oblige, eventhough that would mean to uncover their own secrets peaceful live.

Like I said before, this manhwa was reeaaaaaaly addictive since the first panel. The side stories of how Rai adjust himself to new technology (cellphone, videogame, automatic door,etc) was amusing, and that Rai and ramen stuff was really-really-really ludicrous, awkwardly-silly but funny, made me lol everytime, so were those manuals Frankenstein wrote for him. (he despreatly need manual for food other that ramen!!). But then again, the main story about him, his past and present life, and the organization was equally exciting. Above them all, the red string of all the characters here was about trust, friendship and loyalty that goes beyond indiscrimination of what you are or how strong you are, but more about who you really are (and Rai was the symbol of it) and I think this is the most advantageous point compares to the other seinen manga/manhwa out there.

btw: This season does not explain what is Noble/Noblesse aniway? Frank truly hasn't elaborated it clearly.... secretive, hasn't he?

=============

Season 2 (Visitor/DA-5/Dr.Aris)

Second season, more nobelesse visitor came lurking at Rai and Frank and more enhanced men from the organization came after them. Again, the ending -especially for Takeo and Tao- was very nice, the same with M-21 in the previous season. The repetition of mind-erasing process to the 'innocent humans' was a little boring, at this point of the story, I wonder how many times more do they have to endure that kind process if they keep around the noblesse.

=============

Season 3 (Nobility/Lukedonia/Static)

In this third season, Rai and Frank must go to Lukedonia and confront their past and clear Rai's name of conduct of betrayal that have been done by the Five Clan Leaders. Eventhough Frankenstein clearly said that only him would go with Ray, but of course who could stop Takeo 'n friend from infiltrating their plane. Little do they know, Frank actually plans to blew it up and jump down with his Master. Like that wasn't enough, Rai's Mansion now is considered forbad and guarded by special forces.

The plot was totally absorbing, made me hold my breath again and again. No repetitives ideas like in the previous season 2, a lot facts and backgrounds were given, the story was progressing rapidly, a bunch of interesting new characters, the fight scenes were awesome(!!!!) and of course, -like always- a very nice ending. The end speech by the late Lord, about humanity, how human became human because they are always changing, moving forward..., not static like the noblesse, was very moving. Almost made me overlooked my desire to become noblesse myself. #eeaahh
If something were lacking, that was the usual ice breaker: the witty-silly conversation and Rai's calmed ignorance face-expressions, which in this season didn't have much due to the seriousness of the story line.

Notes 1: Ooohhh... so now we knew what 'Noblesse' mean. Fascinating.
Notes 2: Wait..., if he -the peacock, that is- was human, how... who....what did.... oh whatever! He's immensely amazing anyway. *blushing* ^^V
Note 3: I read the last few chapters twice, but I still do not understand what happened when the old Lord died. Who betrayed who and why and how? Annoying cliff-hanger!!

=============

Season 4 (KSA/Cerberus/Elders)

So Rai and all RK-5 (btw, luuuuuuuv when Rai's blushing coz Frank tell him about the RKs and what RK means) back on our known earth after dipsy-daisy on Lukedonia. While the union's problem still at lenght, another threat came from the country instead. Two KSA agent lurking at school tried to scouting potential future agents. Even if Principal Lee aka Frankenstein aka The Peacock ^_^ try his best to protect the kids, he ends up jeopardizing all of them when the agents turns out to be enhanced humans. The danger became more hazardious when 12th elder sent his personnal bodyguards -Cerberus- to investigates the death of Dr. Aris and the rest of DA-5. So began the battle between the RKs, KSA agents and, 12th elder and 13th elder....

Not bad, but compared with 3rd season, I liked #3 more. But here opens more secrets about the treachery within the noble clan leaders long time ago, the one that made Rai disappeard for 820 years.

=============

Season 5

Whoaa... Best. Season. Yet!!!

 [spoiler eventhough through reading it my heart can't stop pounding and fear that writer-nim will have the heart to make another "Dumbledore's death moments". TG it was a happy ending - if u know what I mean.]

The story progress quite quickly, an now the enemy now have faces and open agenda to coup with. Great development with the RKs (plus bonus how Tao manipulate Rael to help them fight *ROTFL - I think Tao hang around Frankenstein too much, slyness is contageous - ROTFL* ). Love Rajak and Rael and Karias (when he call the Lord Noonim, epic response :D) Love the KSA agents Ahn and Na's characters. Love the fighting scenes. Love the ending. Do NOT love the waiting for season 6!

For all the RKs characters, I always had soft spot for M-21. I thought he was the most complex personnel, and in this season, his relationship with everybody was tested by the appareance of M-24. I felt so sorry for him and really-really-really despise Dr. Crombel for it.
I wish you the best ajusshi -- no Oppa, I'll call you Oppa. ^_^

I wonder what happened to Rai and Frankenstein long-long-long time ago. How could he be so loyal to him... well, I know -despite his ignorance face- Rai is a very good person with a verrrryy big heart and unbelieveable power, but to have someone like Frankenstein unwavered for hundreeedssss of years must had a lot more in its foundation. Hope writer-nim will elaborate more in the next season.

Well, I guess the Hallyu fever does not stop with cars, electronics and K-Pop. After so many k-dramas  came flooding supersede the Jap's dorama, now the scope of literatures also open doors for us to peek inside Korean life and arts. Start with the celebrity picturesque book to movie/drama tie in novels and all their fan fiction stories filling up bookstores' shelves, now Man Hwa — korean graphic novels — also slowly piercing Japanesse Manga. Bride of Water God by Yun Mi Kyung, published by Elexmedia is one of the example (and oftenly mistaken to be mangas). The Color Trilogy  and Red Bycycle by Kim Dong Hwa are the most recent gn published by Gramedia Pustaka Utama, and targeted more broaden readers, as the beautiful detail graphics and more subtle stories. I just found another one — not been translated/published in Indonesia yet, but I hope maybe... soon.... — that story and graphics really intrigued me. The title was Annarasumanara. It was a mini series, just 3 thick books, but I trully enjoy reading them.

***

There are rumors going around town. They say that if you go to the old carnival, you'd see a dashing young man wearing a magician's hat — a man who has the power to make people disappear from the face of the earth. But before he does any magic, he will look you in the eye, stare at your soul with his grey eyes and ask,

"Do you believe in magic?"

Yoon Ah, a smart girl in her class, struggles to feed herself and her sister everyday. All she wants is to grow up faster so she can escape poverty and the reality of her miserable life. When she meets the rumored magician in the abandoned carnival, her life changes forever.

***

The story was really about two high-schoolers and a magician which try to learn the meaning to be a responsible adult in life. Yun Ah was a poor girl that had to took care herself and her little sister after her father took flight leaving behind a considerable amount of debt. She had no time for nonsense, always study hard, work hard, so she could go to the best univ and get a decent job in the future and never had to be a pauper ever again. Na Il Deung, while sharing her idealistic view of life, had the opposite social status. He came from rich powerful family, never had to work himself, got the best teachers and tutors money could buy. But both of them got their foundation shaken when they met each other and met with a magician —   real magician — name R. R was once like them; smart, best student in high school, ready to face life and adulthood. But something chaged his mind. Now, conciously or not, he tried to change Yun Ah mind and also Il Deung's. He reminded them that there are other things that equaly as important, friendship, family, having fun and laughter and love and trust, big dreams, and..... magic.

At first I had doubt of how the story will developed for each character, well, you had to admitted that they were not the most original characters after all. But along the line I love how the it played with the reality, was he a real magician or is he not, were they just a magic trick or a real magic, was it going to be a surreal or just plain old everyday world. And all of these were being clashed with everyday's real problems. such as poverty and hunger, debt collectors and exhibitionism, midterm test and students' rank. I also like the twist near the end, where R past time life came to haunt him once more, and forced Yun Ah and Il Deung to make choices. That being said, I really fancy how the graphics told the storyline. They were oftenly repetitive, so it sunk little by little and amplified the meaning. It did not have detail and beautiful like Bride of Water God or had vivid colors like Red Bycycle, it was mostly black and white with contemporarly mixed pictures and splash colors, odd but unexpectedly lovely. The used of the panels were very free style and not affraid to use whole area and double pages to convey the meaning.  The image of the characters also differ from time to time to elucidated their feelings (like the looong neck Il Deung -the way he see himself versus the handsome Il Deung -the real image of him in everyone's eyes). So, by and by, it was a nice story with peculiar graphic novel, but in every good way possible, and I'm glad I read it. Hope to find more from the same writer in the future.

   

Ah yes, and  Annarasumanara actually does not have any meaning. It was a made up word that commonly used in webtoon and manhwa community in equated to Abracadabra or something like that. Weird.... isn't it?!
