Ayako
by Osamu TezukaLong considered as one of Osamu Tezuka&’s most political narratives, Ayako is also considered to be one of his most challenging as it defies the conventions of his manga by utilizing a completely original cast and relying solely on historical drama to drive the plot. Ayako, pulls no punches, and does not allow for gimmicks as science-fiction or fantasy may. Instead Tezuka weaves together a tale which its core simply focuses on a single family, a family that could be considered a metaphor for a rapidly developing superpower.Overflowing with imagery of the cold war seen through Japan&’s eyes, Ayako is firmly set in realism taking inspiration from a number of historical events that occurred over the American occupation and the cultural-revolution which soon followed. Believed to be Tezuka&’s answer to the gekiga (dramatic comics) movement of the 60&’s, Ayako should be considered one of the better early examples of a seinen (young adult) narrative to be published.Initially set in the aftermath of World War II, Ayako focuses its attention on the Tenge clan, a once powerful family of landowners living in a rural community in northern Japan. From the moment readers are introduced to the extended family, it is apparent that the war and American occupation have begun to erode the fabric that binds them all together. The increasing influence of political, economic and social change begins to tear into the many Tenge siblings, while a strange marriage agreement creates resentment between the eldest son and his sire. And when the family seems to have completely fallen apart, they decide to turn their collective rage on what they believe to be the source of their troubles—the newest member of the Tenge family, the youngest sister Ayako.

His voice + her lyrics = Battle of the Bands magic. But getting a band together means Azar has a lot of talking to do and new friends to make.

Azul profundo (Matices #Volumen 1)
by Martinez Vila, AlbaLa vida adolescente es un caos. Fiestas, exámenes, campamentos. Y dos ojos azules que arrasan hasta con las creencias más arraigadas... El primer amor es siempre una aventura. Hey, vosotros. Antes de leer nada, tened en cuenta dos cosas. Tomáoslo como una advertencia de contenido sensible o una señal roja del tamaño de vuestra cabeza para que salgáis corriendo. Como queráis. Una, me llamo Alan Morgan y, aunque tengo sangre escocesa, soy inglés de pura cepa. Tengo un certificado que lo demuestra. Mis amigos son los mayores capullos del mundo y pasamos la vida jugando a la Play. Los adoro, obvio. Me pirran las tortitas, la pizza con piña y el WoW. Soy alérgico a las nueces y a cierto pijo de ojos azules con el que no paro de cruzarme. Dos, lo que ocurre en la historia es una estupidez. ¿A quién se le ocurre hablar de un campamento de verano para críos? ¿Eh? La originalidad, escasa. Y mucho más si añadimos que yo creía ser hetero, pero al final resultó que... no del todo. O, mejor dicho, nada de nada. (La culpa de todo la tuvo el susodicho pijo de ojos azules). El caso es que todo lo que vais a leer es una gilipollez. Tío, que menciono a Simba de El Rey León en los pies de página. En serio, cerrad el libro ahora que podéis. Id al campo a coger amapolas, salid con los amigos a algún bar y olvidaos de mí. Tal y como dijo un hombre mucho más sabio que yo: «corred, insensatos».
