"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

Deathnote #4


deathnote 4La storia del ragazzo Light, venuto in possesso del quaderno di un dio della morte e divenuto l’epuratore sociale Kira cui la polizia giapponese e l’investigatore Elle danno la caccia, si fa sempre più intrigante e faticosa. Faticosa è la lettura – ho dovuto dilazionarla in tre riprese nonostante mi prendesse molto – a causa degli intricati dialoghi, delle continue battaglie logiche tra Light e Elle, delle vignette fitte e dense. Intrigante è il dipanarsi della trama, complicata dall’entrata in scena di un altro Kira e di nuove regole che guidano gli dei della morte e i loro quaderni. Come si uccide un dio della morte? Ci si può liberare di un quaderno? E che cosa accade dopo averlo fatto? Come funziona esattamente lo sguardo, il dono che si può acquisire rinunciando a metà della propria vita e che in cambio consente di poter uccidere con il quaderno semplicemente guardando in viso la vittima?
La mitologia moderna messa in piedi da Tsugumi Ohba si fa sempre più complessa e sfaccettata, e i disegni di Takeshi Obata le vanno dietro.

    Sì, è un’idea originale e il manga mi intriga molto, nonostante non sia il genere che prediligo di solito (generalmente, come avrete capito, mi oriento sull’ambientazione “di genere”, fantasy, fantascienza, gotico).
