Summary
A deadly typhoon， a mysterious creature and a girl who won’t quit。
In 2020， a large creature rampages through Tokyo， destroying everything in its path。
In 1959， Asa Asada， a spunky young girl from a huge family in Nagoya， is kidnapped for ransom—and not a soul notices。 When a typhoon hits Nagoya， Asa and her kidnapper must work together to survive。 But there’s more to her kidnapper and this storm than meets the eye。
Asa and Kasuga see the tail of a giant creature rise from the water。 In a jungle， explorers discover massive claw marks in a tree trunk。 And years later in 1964， a mysterious military man appears asking all the wrong questions。

So far， this is much gentler than what I'm used to from a Naoki Urasawa read， but there are hints of tension to come。 （There's also the nostalgia I'm used to。） Right now， I'm looking for the main story， but just getting background。 Given how well Urasawa writes and draws， that's not a serious problem。 So far， this is much gentler than what I'm used to from a Naoki Urasawa read， but there are hints of tension to come。 （There's also the nostalgia I'm used to。） Right now， I'm looking for the main story， but just getting background。 Given how well Urasawa writes and draws， that's not a serious problem。 。。。more

Urasawa's so friggin' good！ His art， his character's facial expressions， and， oh my， his plotting and pacing。 There's thrilling plane aerobatics in this volume， and a landing that was so realistic and suspenseful， I felt like I was watching a movie！ And Asa Asada， our heroine （is that an outdated term？ Our protagonist）， is so compelling， cool and determined and strong， she's destined to go down as one of the strong positive characters， that happens to be female， in comics。 In fact， the instances Urasawa's so friggin' good！ His art， his character's facial expressions， and， oh my， his plotting and pacing。 There's thrilling plane aerobatics in this volume， and a landing that was so realistic and suspenseful， I felt like I was watching a movie！ And Asa Asada， our heroine （is that an outdated term？ Our protagonist）， is so compelling， cool and determined and strong， she's destined to go down as one of the strong positive characters， that happens to be female， in comics。 In fact， the instances of a looming reptilian tail or a cutaway to a far-off discovery happens， I was jolted into remembering this series isn't just about Asa， there's some kaiju action that's the catalyst for her story， now and at a future point we saw in the opening pages of the first volume。 She's such a likable， compelling character， she makes you forget all about the monster plot， showing how masterfully Urasawa is leading us along in his story。 After reading his Pluto series， and now these two volumes， I'm convinced I need to read his other works。 He's a Master。 。。。more

I'm really enjoying this series so far！ We get lots of action in this volume， lots of exciting moments， and some mysterious goings on as well。 I'm not saying anything， it'd all be too spoilery， and this is one of those stories where you need to let it all wash over you。 Asa's moment of triumph at the end of the 1959 part of the story， good heavens！ I could feel it with her。 The combination of Urasawa's story and his artwork is just so perfect， they compliment each other so well。 This is such a f I'm really enjoying this series so far！ We get lots of action in this volume， lots of exciting moments， and some mysterious goings on as well。 I'm not saying anything， it'd all be too spoilery， and this is one of those stories where you need to let it all wash over you。 Asa's moment of triumph at the end of the 1959 part of the story， good heavens！ I could feel it with her。 The combination of Urasawa's story and his artwork is just so perfect， they compliment each other so well。 This is such a feel-good story， even though bad things have happened， that I can't help but love it。 I hope Volume 3 will be available soon！ 。。。more

The first volume of Naoki Urasawa’s latest manga Asadora！ delivered a wonderful character-driven piece of historical fiction set in the backdrop of Typhoon Vera。 However， the actual hook of the story occurs in the last two pages， in which Asa Asada and the aging former pilot fly through the aftermath of the typhoon and discover the footprint of what looks like a Kaiju。 Based on this reveal， Urasawa sets up an element of both science-fiction and mystery。Please click here for my full review。 The first volume of Naoki Urasawa’s latest manga Asadora！ delivered a wonderful character-driven piece of historical fiction set in the backdrop of Typhoon Vera。 However， the actual hook of the story occurs in the last two pages， in which Asa Asada and the aging former pilot fly through the aftermath of the typhoon and discover the footprint of what looks like a Kaiju。 Based on this reveal， Urasawa sets up an element of both science-fiction and mystery。Please click here for my full review。 。。。more

This volume wraps up the aftermath of the typhoon， but not before we see it leave its lasting mark on Asa Asadora。 While she and the old pilot are looking for the rest of the Asadora family， they witness a strange sight: a giant tail or tentacle rising from the log-strewn sea， right near where a giant reptilian footprint marks the spot where Asa's house used to stand。 Neither Asa nor the old man can quite believe what they're seeing， and quickly the sight of three familiar survivors and the old This volume wraps up the aftermath of the typhoon， but not before we see it leave its lasting mark on Asa Asadora。 While she and the old pilot are looking for the rest of the Asadora family， they witness a strange sight: a giant tail or tentacle rising from the log-strewn sea， right near where a giant reptilian footprint marks the spot where Asa's house used to stand。 Neither Asa nor the old man can quite believe what they're seeing， and quickly the sight of three familiar survivors and the old man's worsening injury claim their interest， and the strange object becomes nothing but a weird memory of a bizarre time。。。I've got to hand it to Naoki Urasawa - this is just as fascinating as the first volume。 Asa's growth as a character， as she learns to function in a crisis in ways that impress everyone around her， make her more than just a Strong Female Character; she's a kid having to grow up way too fast， but somehow finding joy in it。 The bookending of the volume， with the same researcher and image of giant claw marks in a jungle， remind us that there's more to this story than just a coming-of-age narrative， but Asa really is the heart of things - possibly in more than one way。 The pacing is expertly done， the fidelity to the time period is impressive， and there's still that undercurrent of the unknown that carries everything along。 We're in for a long ride here， but I don't doubt that it will be worth it。 。。。more

Asadora is my newest guilty pleasure！ I absolutely adore this manga series about a young girl， Asa， and her search for her family and potentially a giant monster。 It's fun， an easy read and quite the light read too。 I highly recommend picking this up if you're looking for a fun， fast moving， and slightly mysterious book that won't bring you down or make you feel grey。There's so many good parts to this book， so let's just write up a quick summary of my notes:1。 Mysterious intro in the jungle2。 Gi Asadora is my newest guilty pleasure！ I absolutely adore this manga series about a young girl， Asa， and her search for her family and potentially a giant monster。 It's fun， an easy read and quite the light read too。 I highly recommend picking this up if you're looking for a fun， fast moving， and slightly mysterious book that won't bring you down or make you feel grey。There's so many good parts to this book， so let's just write up a quick summary of my notes:1。 Mysterious intro in the jungle2。 Giant monster！ In the flesh！3。 "Hero of the Skies" - This is a great tag line for the book， by the wa。4。 Shota is super sweet。5。 "Rotten egg like you" is the best insult I've heard all week。6。 Flash forward and cliffhangers。Overall， I love this series！ I think it's off to a great start and I'm still super intrigued about where it's going to go。Five out of five stars。Thank you to NetGalley and Viz for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review。 。。。more

This is the second book in the series。 If you have read the first， then it will sort of make sense。 If you haven't read the first it will make even less sense。This is a slow moving story。 The only things we k now are that Asadora's family home is destroyed by what people think is a tsunami， but she is able to see the monster that did it， from her vantage point in the airplane that she flies to save people whose houses were destroyed。But， no one believes her， until someone goes looking for the mo This is the second book in the series。 If you have read the first， then it will sort of make sense。 If you haven't read the first it will make even less sense。This is a slow moving story。 The only things we k now are that Asadora's family home is destroyed by what people think is a tsunami， but she is able to see the monster that did it， from her vantage point in the airplane that she flies to save people whose houses were destroyed。But， no one believes her， until someone goes looking for the monster， 10 years later。And that was where we were at with the first book， and now， she is flying an airplane， and someone else has seen the monster。So， we must wait for the next book to find out where this is all going。Thanks to Edelweiss for making this book available for an honest review。 。。。more

Asa and Kasuga continue to drop food from the airplane to survivors of the "typhoon"。 During one of their runs， a huge tail appears out of the debris and almost swats the airplane out of the sky。 They agree that they were hallucinating。 Kasuga passes out from a gunshot wound and Asa must fly the plane。 She tricks the plane's owner to give her the plane。 Time passes and Asa is 17。 She is an excellent pilot。 Kasuga's former army instructor appears with a picture of the tail。 Asa tries to discover Asa and Kasuga continue to drop food from the airplane to survivors of the "typhoon"。 During one of their runs， a huge tail appears out of the debris and almost swats the airplane out of the sky。 They agree that they were hallucinating。 Kasuga passes out from a gunshot wound and Asa must fly the plane。 She tricks the plane's owner to give her the plane。 Time passes and Asa is 17。 She is an excellent pilot。 Kasuga's former army instructor appears with a picture of the tail。 Asa tries to discover what the creature is。 #AsadoraVol2 #NetGalley 。。。more

Frankly I'm biased when it comes to literally anything Urasawa has done （I have a tattoo even）， but this volume had everything I love about his story-telling， including a couple parts that made me say "oh my god" out loud。 Frankly I'm biased when it comes to literally anything Urasawa has done （I have a tattoo even）， but this volume had everything I love about his story-telling， including a couple parts that made me say "oh my god" out loud。 。。。more
