Summary

Asa Asada, una niña que se afana por llegar al hospital para asistir a su madre en el parto de uno de sus numerosos hermanos。 El tifón cada vez está más cerca y Asa corre todo lo que puede, llegando a adelantar a su amigo, futuro candidato a atleta en los juegos olímpicos。

¡Y todo esto mientras se cala y el viento juega en su contra! Jamás llega a su destino porque, a pesar de su fuerte carácter, es una persona muy amable。 Eso ocasiona que se pare a evitar un robo, y que el ladrón, un misterioso y malhumorado anciano, le acabe secuestrando al confundirla con una niña de familia rica。 Nada más alejado de la realidad。

WARNING SPOILER! This book was really nice they are getting closer to finding out about the monster they are also planing on finding the creature during the Olympics。

A bit slow in the early chapters imo and thought I was beginning to lose interest, but maybe because I was reading before bed (sleepy) so I wasn't 100% in the zone。 But regardless I enjoyed Vol4 the chapters went on, the last 2 in particular were great。 Cliffhanger ahhh A bit slow in the early chapters imo and thought I was beginning to lose interest, but maybe because I was reading before bed (sleepy) so I wasn't 100% in the zone。 But regardless I enjoyed Vol4 the chapters went on, the last 2 in particular were great。 Cliffhanger ahhh 。。。more

More bizarre fun, Asadora gets a secret mission along with other things。

The ratio of tease to concrete events is a little off, making this outing feel a little too much like treading water。 That's a common problem for Urasawa in these big stories of his, and I expect there will be a few more along the way here。 That's not to say that it's a waste of time: Urasawa's art, dialogue, and grasp on his characters are all masterful, and the book remains engaging on a page by page basis。 And the payoffs when they come generally reward a reader's patience。 The ratio of tease to concrete events is a little off, making this outing feel a little too much like treading water。 That's a common problem for Urasawa in these big stories of his, and I expect there will be a few more along the way here。 That's not to say that it's a waste of time: Urasawa's art, dialogue, and grasp on his characters are all masterful, and the book remains engaging on a page by page basis。 And the payoffs when they come generally reward a reader's patience。 。。。more

Thank you to NetGalley and Viz for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。Naoki Urasawa's skill shines in Asadora!, and volume 3 continued to slowly peel back layers of the mystery that has been building over the previous two volumes。 Characterization is Urasawa's strong point, and I'm excited to see where the story takes readers。Translation: John WerryTouch-up Art and Lettering: Steve Dutro Thank you to NetGalley and Viz for a free advanced copy in exchange for an honest review。Naoki Urasawa's skill shines in Asadora!, and volume 3 continued to slowly peel back layers of the mystery that has been building over the previous two volumes。 Characterization is Urasawa's strong point, and I'm excited to see where the story takes readers。Translation: John WerryTouch-up Art and Lettering: Steve Dutro 。。。more

A great installment in this lovely alternate history kaiju drama。 Likable characters and the ongoing mystery have me ready to devour the next volume as soon as possible!

The compelling story unfolds。 Apart from the main plot we get glimpses of the other characters adventures and personalities。 Even though it's just the third volume the characters are well fleshed out。 The compelling story unfolds。 Apart from the main plot we get glimpses of the other characters adventures and personalities。 Even though it's just the third volume the characters are well fleshed out。 。。。more

I liked the 2nd the best of them all, but this was a good continuation of the story。

Gotta save those Olympic opening ceremonies from disruption from the big baddy。 Asa continues developing into a stronger character who simply won't give up searching for her family and won't let anyone downplay what she knows about the creature。 Great series。 Gotta save those Olympic opening ceremonies from disruption from the big baddy。 Asa continues developing into a stronger character who simply won't give up searching for her family and won't let anyone downplay what she knows about the creature。 Great series。 。。。more

per me è il miglior volume della serie, per il momento!sta migliorando sempre di più。 un po’ mi dispiace perché il personaggio che apprezzavo è diventato un personaggio amore-odio, però il mio amore per kinuyo-san sta crescendo sempre di più!

Lee Kimball

A bit slower progression of the storyline but the art still wows me and the characters feel very real。 A few new people are introduced。 I’m not a huge fan of the girl group subplot because it feels kinda random, but I suppose it fleshes out Ada’s character more。 (However, The Peanuts, the girl group referenced in the text, is pretty great。 Check ‘em out on YouTube!)

Looking for answers in all the right places。Like other volumes this one has its share of fantastic character interactions, some action, and at least a little history lesson as Asa's fate is tied into the path of a young researcher trying to make sense of his old mentors research on the mysterious entity which changed Asa's life forever。 Basically being a slice of life story set in the year 1964 we see a window into a different time (and to those of that did not grow up in the area a different cu Looking for answers in all the right places。Like other volumes this one has its share of fantastic character interactions, some action, and at least a little history lesson as Asa's fate is tied into the path of a young researcher trying to make sense of his old mentors research on the mysterious entity which changed Asa's life forever。 Basically being a slice of life story set in the year 1964 we see a window into a different time (and to those of that did not grow up in the area a different culture) with a potential threat looming in the background of everyday characters' lives whether they know it or not。 However this volume had more of a here is some new people who will help figure things out in the end or will help deal with any potential threat to come more then actual progress toward discovering what is lurking in the waters off the coastlines。 Being a part of the entire story I wouldn't skip over this volume for you never know what Naoki Urasawa might have foreshadowed in any given volume。 Especially if it seems more slice of life then Kaiju Hunter。 :) 。。。more

Joseph Whitt

This one is great。 Really feels like Urasawa is channeling 80’s Spielberg while also making something that is uniquely him。 In general just happy that Urasawa continues to kick ass after 30 years of manga-making。 Looking forward to more。

As the story continues to unfold we see each character within Asadora become more complex and well rounded (just at the third volume alone)。 I’m loving this fantastic story because it’s the perfect blend of mystery, coming-of-age, and fantasy。 It is also extensively researched, I can definitely see elements of Stranger Things and Kaiju films within this story。 Looking forward to when the fourth English volume releases!

I love Asa and her siblings so much

So far this series has been great。 I noticed Volume 2 kinda of slowed down and didn’t do justice to the way Volume 1 ended and then kinda just ended the same way。 Volume 3 was much of the same, going back and forth while still good, not adding much new, until the very end…which sets up a VERY promising Volume 4

Standard fluff in the best way。

Mark Schlatter

I’m still interested, but this is definitely slower than what I expect from Naoki Urasawa。

See my thoughts at volumes 1-2, but I actually had the least reservations about this volume, and for now I'll continue reading! I'm also enjoying how the 1964 Olympics are incorporated into the storyline, and now there is some more reflection about WWII too。____Source of the book: Lawrence Public Library See my thoughts at volumes 1-2, but I actually had the least reservations about this volume, and for now I'll continue reading!

I'm loving the direction this story is taking! When I started this series, I was expecting a plucky young heroine/ found family story, and this is that, but with a kaiju subplot that grows more intense as we go along。 The sightings of the monster continue, and this has the Japanese government worried, as the opening ceremonies of the Olympics are about to begin in Tokyo。 It's important to show a peaceful face to the world after WWII, and having military fighter jets going after a possible kaiju I'm loving the direction this story is taking! When I started this series, I was expecting a plucky young heroine/ found family story, and this is that, but with a kaiju subplot that grows more intense as we go along。 The sightings of the monster continue, and this has the Japanese government worried, as the opening ceremonies of the Olympics are about to begin in Tokyo。 It's important to show a peaceful face to the world after WWII, and having military fighter jets going after a possible kaiju will not look good, so Col。 Jissoji secretly enlists the help of Asa and Kasuga to scout the monster for them, to get closer and try to get more information about it。 The pair also get a bodyguard, A-kura, to watch over them and alert them in case they're needed。 When he picks Asa up from school one day, he takes her to a seedy area of town to meet up with Kasuga and Jissoji, and confront Keichi Nakaido, a researcher who had worked with the deceased Professor Yodogawa, who had been researching the monster。 Nakaido took the Professor's research when the university decided to have it destroyed, and the military wants to know what's in it。 It gets all kinds of shady and intriguing, and after that cliffhanger, I need Volume 4!In more regular happenings, we check in with Shoto, who didn't make the Olympic team, but is still working toward that dream, Asa's friends from school bring the drama over the talent agency thing, and Asa's younger siblings get in a fight with some other kids because of the youngest's belief that he saw the monster when he was a newborn。 Urasawa's art remains fabulous and beautiful, with so much emotion- the characters' expressions speak volumes! The story is pacey, with a good blend of supernatural what's-going-on and everyday life, and I love how well the characters are fleshed out, including secondary characters。 Another great series by Urasawa!#AsadoraVol3 #NetGalley 。。。more

During the initial two volumes of Naoki Urasawa’s manga Asadora!, the author is playing the long game when it comes the mystery of the giant monster (or kaiju) — its tail is the only thing that’s been revealed, as witnessed by Asa and Mr。 Kasuga。 However, most of the storytelling is about how the two protagonists live their lives after the atrocities of Typhoon Vera in 1959。 The story now takes place in 1964, and the Summer Olympics are approaching。。。Please click here for my full review。 During the initial two volumes of Naoki Urasawa’s manga Asadora!, the author is playing the long game when it comes the mystery of the giant monster (or kaiju) — its tail is the only thing that’s been revealed, as witnessed by Asa and Mr。 Kasuga。 However, most of the storytelling is about how the two protagonists live their lives after the atrocities of Typhoon Vera in 1959。 The story now takes place in 1964, and the Summer Olympics are approaching。。。Please click here for my full review。 。。。more

With mountains of manga and light novels waiting for me after a long summer away from home, Asadora is easily the one I just had to dive into first。 I love the pacing, the art, and the characters。 The slow burn as the kaiju is revealed bit by bit definitely keeps me wanting more, and helpfully, there is so much more going on。

Urasawa is one of my two favorite manga artists, precisely for stories like Asadora。 This feels exactly like a slice of life coming of age story, except for the huge kaiju that begins and ends every volume and may have killed the protagonist's parents。 I love Urasawa's ability to build fully fleshed out characters with needs and desires that draw them into inevitable moral conflicts, his ability to draw emotions (his people have riiiiiich inner lives), and his ability to just throw in something Urasawa is one of my two favorite manga artists, precisely for stories like Asadora。 This feels exactly like a slice of life coming of age story, except for the huge kaiju that begins and ends every volume and may have killed the protagonist's parents。 I love Urasawa's ability to build fully fleshed out characters with needs and desires that draw them into inevitable moral conflicts, his ability to draw emotions (his people have riiiiiich inner lives), and his ability to just throw in something utterly insane and fantastic into every story。 As Asadora grows up, I'm really interested to see where this narrative goes。 **Thanks to the artist, publisher, and Netgalley for a free copy in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
