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。
With the Olympics around the corner， the Japan Defense Forces have their hands full。 So Jissoji enlists Asa and Kasuga’s help to find， identify and deal with the mysterious creature that decimated Asa’s hometown。

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

Our scrappy protagonist， Asa Asadora， has grown up a bit， but is still looking for her missing family （the general consensus seems to be that they're dead）， and is still working together with her erstwhile kidnapper， mr。 Kasuga。They are being roped in by the Japanese government to fly their plane during the upcoming Olympics opening ceremony。 The government will also help them track down a scientist who has been doing research into the kaiju Asa has seen。The plot doesn't move forward a huge lot， Our scrappy protagonist， Asa Asadora， has grown up a bit， but is still looking for her missing family （the general consensus seems to be that they're dead）， and is still working together with her erstwhile kidnapper， mr。 Kasuga。They are being roped in by the Japanese government to fly their plane during the upcoming Olympics opening ceremony。 The government will also help them track down a scientist who has been doing research into the kaiju Asa has seen。The plot doesn't move forward a huge lot， as it didn't in previous volumes， but hot dang！ does that not even matter， the writing of these characters is that delightful。And the art is fantastic， as it ever has been。 The characters' faces are still especially great。I could read this series for the rest of my life。（Thanks to VIZ Media for providing me with an ARC through Edelweiss） 。。。more

The plot may be thickening in this volume， but that seems like it's in the same way that instant pudding thickens in the fridge: because it's just sitting there。 That's not to say that there aren't important pieces of the story; the reveal that Japan does， in fact， have fighter pilots fort he first time since WWII is definitely worth paying attention to， as is the fact that the government （or at least a shady piece of it） is aware of Nikaido's research materials from his mentor， which deal with The plot may be thickening in this volume， but that seems like it's in the same way that instant pudding thickens in the fridge: because it's just sitting there。 That's not to say that there aren't important pieces of the story; the reveal that Japan does， in fact， have fighter pilots fort he first time since WWII is definitely worth paying attention to， as is the fact that the government （or at least a shady piece of it） is aware of Nikaido's research materials from his mentor， which deal with the mysterious creature that surfaced during the typhoon all those years ago。 Unfortunately those moments are almost lost in the story's holding pattern - the government guy is being shady and mysterious， Asa's friends are creating Drama， and the Olympics are coming。 The reappearance of the kaiju towards the end of the book implies that things will be more dynamic in the next volume， which is good。 Urasawa's always worth reading and I still enjoyed this， but it definitely lost a little of its power。 。。。more

This was a great volume and like focuses on Asa and Kasuga being taken to a military base where they tell them that Tokyo is holding Olympics and its imperative they do it and also asks the two of them regarding the Kaiju monster and has them prepare for counter attacks just in case。 Meanwhile Asa is going about her life with her friends and siblings and all the drama in between while the mystery of the monster is building up。 Also great moments between Asa， Kasuga and Kinuyo。Great volume and co This was a great volume and like focuses on Asa and Kasuga being taken to a military base where they tell them that Tokyo is holding Olympics and its imperative they do it and also asks the two of them regarding the Kaiju monster and has them prepare for counter attacks just in case。 Meanwhile Asa is going about her life with her friends and siblings and all the drama in between while the mystery of the monster is building up。 Also great moments between Asa， Kasuga and Kinuyo。Great volume and continues the character work showcasing other characters and like evolving the legend of this Kaiju monster。 I am loving it atm。 Its slow and taking its time to establish this world and legends but the payoff is gonna be good。 Also Asa is so cute here。 。。。more

Asadora is a magical series that is one of my recent favourites。 It's a manga with intrigue， thrills， and warm hearted fun around each bend。 The secrets and tales of a giant monster that's tormenting Japan is really interesting！ I also love the lead and her assembled secondary cast mates。The furthering of the story is what gets me。 I'm constantly being given more information to start forming my own opinion， but not enough to solve the story。 I seriously dig every second I'm reading this book。 Th Asadora is a magical series that is one of my recent favourites。 It's a manga with intrigue， thrills， and warm hearted fun around each bend。 The secrets and tales of a giant monster that's tormenting Japan is really interesting！ I also love the lead and her assembled secondary cast mates。The furthering of the story is what gets me。 I'm constantly being given more information to start forming my own opinion， but not enough to solve the story。 I seriously dig every second I'm reading this book。 The story is fun and makes me wonder how much of Godzilla they are using and what they've come up with on their own。 I have never really liked big monster books， so this one deserves a medal。Some fun parts of this specific book:Japanese MilitaryThe Olympics！More hints about the monsterA few solid jokes to make you grinNew characters with recent developments on the monsterI wouldn't change much。 Obviously I want to know what's going on， but I'll learn that soon enough （as long as I can keep getting my hands on this book）。 I also really like the illustrations， as a side note。 They're fun！Overall， this is an epic tale of epic proportions。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。 Keep 'em coming guys！ 。。。more

Asa and Kasuga are tasked by the Japanese military to attack the mystery creature if and when it returns as the 1964 Tokyo Olympics approach。 Asa persists in her belief that the creature took her family and that they are alive。 The creature approaches。 #AsadoraVol3 #NetGalley

Urasawa sa come stuzzicare il lettore con i misteri。。。 ma ho come l’impressione che in questo volume non sia successo praticamente nulla！
