Pavane for a Dead Girl (亡き少女の為のパヴァーヌ, Naki Shōjo no Tame no Pavane ) is a manga series illustrated and written by Koge Donbo. The manga started serialization in the Japanese shōnen manga magazine Comic Blade on July 30, 2008, published by Mag Garden. Plot [ edit | edit source ] Takenomaru Sagami is a violinist prodigy with a contract to fulfill. When he was 11 years old, Takenomaru contracted smallpox and became critically ill. Constantly feeling unwanted and hated throughout his life, he looked towards death as an escape. In his weak condition, he discovered hope in life from world-famous violinist and soldier Lieutenant Sagami, who encouraged him to learn the violin once he recovered from his illness. He told him music had nothing to do with race, which Takenomaru was used to seeing criticism for because of his foreign blood. Not long after finding his hope and purpose, Takenomaru stood before the entrance of death and made a contract with "an angel" in order to continue living. In exchange for being allowed to live and two other certain gifts he must sacrifice others by collecting the twelve Tears of Maria. Out of his resentment for the world, he agrees readily. Seven years later, at the music school where his foster father (Sagami) teaches, he pursues twelve girls to attain the jewels that represent each girl’s feelings for him. He gives them each a brooch that changes color by the intensity feelings they have for him. Once they fall in love with him, the girls must face their death in order for Takenomaru to collect the Tear of Maria hidden in the girls’ hearts. Nanao Kaga. Pavane for a Dead Girl [ edit | edit source ] Nanano Kaga is a naive girl who, against her father's wishes and future arranged marriage, joins the music school in pursuit of Takenomaru, whom she once heard playing the violin and ended up moved by his performance. In the beginning, she calls him "Takenomaru-sama," but changes it to "Takenomaru-san" after she finds out he is younger than her (putting her anywhere between 19 and 21 years of age). She is the first to fall in love with him and is then stabbed by Takenomaru in a church building so that he may gather the first Tear of Maria from her. Tag Archives: Pavane for a Dead Girl. My this is late. Sorry everyone, I had to take care of a loopy boyfriend on Monday, Tuesday was just non-stop for me and last night I just forgot. (He had a medical procedure done that involved anesthesia. It was sort of fantastic to see him all wobbly and slurring his words. Best of all, he forgot a sock at the doctor’s office. Never mind the fact that he didn’t take his socks off during the procedure.) Friday: I started my day off with the Moto Hagio spotlight panel. (Horrendously under-attended, might I add.) Before I launch into an explanation of the panel, however, let me explain this: Moto Hagio is pretty much why I was at Comic-Con this year. I am not kidding. I was SO DEVASTATED to hear that she was coming and I wasn’t. And then I realized I could get a professional badge! Oh joyous day! I adore older manga and I was quite looking forward to seeing one of the Magnificent Forty Niners and a great mangaka talk about her career. That being said, the spotlight panel was everything I could have ever hoped for! Hagio-sensei launched into a short overview of her career, starting with her short stories and then with The Poe Clan , which was her first longer narrative about boys who are stuck as teenagers after being turned into vampires. The Poe Clan ‘s first collected volume sold out on the first day, which allowed her to continue working on Heart of Thomas , which was considered unpopular by editors at the time. After that, she began working on They Were Eleven and Marginal , both scifi manga influenced by her love of Western scifi, a genre she read passionately as a child. My favorite part of the panel, however, had to be Hagio-sensei’s discussion of the various issues surround her stories. Many of them were very personal, including her mother’s strong dislike of manga and criticism of her career. She also spoke about her interest in psychology and child abuse and how this lead to short stories such as Iguana Girl and Hanshin as well as longer narratives such as A Cruel God Reigns in Heaven. For her to share such personal details about her career takes a lot of courage, but it made everyone in the audience feel ten times closer to her than someone who feels the need to talk only about their stories and not the personal influences behind them. It made the panel much more interesting than any canned answer from a Hollywood exec in Hall H. (I will never venture there as long as I live, I think.) Hagio-sensei was presented an Inkpot Award at the start of the panel and I believe she more than earned it by the time the panel was over when she generously donated all the manga she spoke about to Comic-Con for posterity. For more about Moto Hagio, check out Shaenon Garrity’s excellent interview. A little while later, Yen Press had their industry panel, which was the only straight industry panel I was able to attend. (I skipped Bandai and FUNimation because I had heard most of their announcements at Anime Expo. Other panels I missed because I had to attend a wedding in Los Angeles on Saturday.) There, Yen Press announced new licenses including The Betrayal Knows My Name by Hotaru Odagiri, High School of the Dead by Daisuke Sato and Shoji Sato, Aron’s Absurd Armada by MiSun Kim and The Bride’s Stories by Kaoru Mori. They also licensed another arc of Higurashi When They Cry , but I don’t seem to have the exact title in my notes. I am looking forward to The Bride’s Stories ( Otoyome-Gatari ) the most because I once pitched it (as a long shot) to TOKYOPOP. I was afraid the title would never come stateside due to the nature of the main couple (she is 18 or 20 and he is about 13, despite the fact that nothing happens between them and the manga is set over 100 years ago.) Yen Press also gave us more information about the online edition of Yen Plus, their manga magazine that was recently taken out of print circulation. The viewer is not flash-based, which gives readers the ability to view it on their iPhone or iPad, and is region-free, which means readers around the world will be able to legally view the magazine’s contents. The month-to-month paypal payments cost $2.99 and also get you access to the previous month’s copy, in case you missed it. Not a bad deal! My exhibit hall antics on Friday consisted of me and Gia Manry of Anime News Network storming around the exhibit hall looking for hard-to-find manga publishers after a nice chat with freelance translator William Flanagan. We met up with Ed Chavez of Vertical Inc. and met Felipe Smith, the creator of MBQ and Peepo Choo . Also, to our delight, Viz Kids had announced the licensing of an original Mameshiba graphic novel and there were Mameshiba toys for sale at the Toynami booth. There’s nothing like grown women plotting how to steal all the awesome Mameshiba products Toynami had on display, but not for sale. (Later on in the day, we met up with more grown women excited about the Mameshiba toys and we had a *moment* together. Good times.) I am overjoyed to hear that now I will be able to gorge myself on adorable dog/bean toys that make people uncomfortable with random trivia. Somewhere in there, I also managed to get Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu signed by Junko Mizuno. In the evening, Jason Thompson held his Future of Manga panel. While there was plenty of interesting factoids about manga magazine circulation and such in Jason’s presentation, I feel like he got a little side-tracked by the past and the present of manga.

  • Curated by Yuko Shiraishi
    Utopia Dystopia Revisited curated by Yuko Shiraishi 19 September - 2 November 2019 Annely Juda Fine Art 23 Dering Street, 3rd floor London W1S 1AW T: +44 20 7629 7578 F: +44 20 7491 2139 E: [email protected] Utopia/Dystopia Revisited by Yuko Shiraishi In John Carey’s The Faber Book of Utopias published in 2000, he explains that Utopia means ‘nowhere’ or ‘no-place’. Utopia has tended to be taken to mean a good place, but strictly speaking imaginary good places and imaginary bad places are all Utopias or ‘nowheres’. I have always been interested in the subject of Utopia and Dystopia, but the key inspiration for this exhibition has been the work of Ivan Leonidov, which I discovered through reading Akiko Honda’s Astroarchitecture: Ivan Leonidov and Unrealized Architectural Projects in the USSR between 1920s-1950s (2014). Leonidov has been unkindly treated by history. Apart from a small number of sketches and paintings, little of his work survives. Nor does anything remain by way of notes or commen- taries he may have written. He is therefore presented here as a forgotten presence, an archi- tect who never existed, an intriguing ghost from the past. By inviting him into this exhibition, my hope has been to re-open a window onto the meaning of Utopia / Dystopia such as Leonidov experienced in Russia and the Soviet Union. During the 1920s, Leonidov argued, as a member of the Constructivist movement, that archi- tecture had to adopt alternative perspectives through which to view the world. He explored new forms of media such as film and photography in the development of a methodology that Honda has called Astroarchitecture.

  • Tsuneo Goda Wins the Inkpot Award at Comic-Con International 2011
    August 4, 2011 Press Release Tsuneo Goda wins the Inkpot Award at Comic-Con International 2011 dwarf inc. TYO Inc. The Representative Director and main creator of dwarf inc. (Headquarters: Nerima-ku, Tokyo; TYO Group; http://www.dwarf.co.jp/), Tsuneo Goda picked up the Inkpot Award at Comic-Con International 2011 (official website: http://www.comic-con.org/; hereinafter referred to as "Comicon") held in San Diego, US, in late July. The Inkpot Award was established in 1974 by Comicon. Selecting from official Comicon guests who have made a large contribution to the world of pop culture such as manga, animation and science fiction, it is awarded to people who have left behind a particularly remarkable body of work. Japanese recipients of this award include Osamu Tezuka (1980); Rumiko Takahashi (1994); Naoko Takeuchi (1998); Hayao Miyazaki (2009); and Moto Hagio (2010). As well as Mr. Goda, Steven Spielberg also won an Inkpot Award this year. It could be said that Mr. Goda's award is an acknowledgment of his excellent past work on Domo-kun overseas as well as the originality of his character modeling and video works. Domo-kun started to gain success overseas after winning an award at an overseas festival in 2005, and its TV program has been broadcast in over 170 countries and regions to date including the United Kingdom, France, Germany and South Korea. It was selected as a Halloween mascot for the US major supermarket, "Target", in 2008, and was used as a limited period campaign character for the American Seven-Eleven in the following year.
