Copernicus no Kokyuu by Asumiko Nakamura

[iphisesque]

could you post a bigger version of your icon ? i'm curious !

it's the first volume cover of copernicus no kokyuu by asumiko nakamura! the art is amazing, i would totally recommend reading it even just for that — it has some very heavy themes, though, so be wary of that.

can i get some manga recs? u always seem to talk about rlly good ones

omg im so bad at giving manga recs so off the cuff. i adore kyoko okazaki's works such as pink, helter skelter, river's edge and tokyo girls bravo, she has such an interesting style and is amazing at building realistic well-rounded female characters, as well as imbuing all her stories with a sense of magic and surrealism despite being very grounded in reality most of the time. not simple by natsume ono is a lovely manga about an abused child's desperate journey into adulthood, and it's one of those stories where the less you know about it going in the better. copernicus no kokyuu by asumiko nakamura has some of the most breathtaking art ive ever seen in a manga not from the 1970s, and it's exactly the type of homosexual ephebe melodrama i so desperately adore. moto hagio's marginal and a cruel god reigns are also homosexual ephebe dramas, the former a postapocalyptic mpreg scenario and the latter a more straightforward and very psychological story about child sexual abuse within the family. such themes are also present in ryoko yamagishi's short stories, of which one MUST read yasha gozen; if you're into horror i can't not recommend kanako inuki and of course kazuo umezu, as well as the nishioka siblings' kami no kodomo. and of course usamaru furuya is the master of underground manga, plastic girl being his most unique work! this is such a limited and abridged list im sure, it's just the first few mangaka that popped up in my mind, but feel free to add more recs in the replies — and if you've already read these or want something more niche you can probably ask ari, he's got SUCH a wealth of knowledge about niche manga that he makes me look like a shonen jump reader in comparison.

Out of all of the days of this summer I got inspired to start reading Copernicus no Kokyuu yesterday when I should’ve been cleaning and packing instead. I also fixed that problem in the worst way possible by taking a break and continuing in the night instead. At least that’s the original Nakamura Asumiko experience for me; back in the day I went through most of her works as bedtime reading that stretched into late night and early morning reading.

As for Copernicus no Kokyuu it’s one of her few works that I’ve only read once before (almost 4 years ago) because I didn’t like it at all. It felt unnecessary tragic and her artsyle wasn’t as refined and pleasing to look at yet.

I’ll give you a horribly misleading impression of the manga when I say that it wasn’t as tragic and cruel as I remembered. There was only one scene that made me truly sick to my stomach (poor Mina), the rest I could handle. Oonagi was still a creep, but he wasn’t as manipulative and controlling as I remembered and Bird’s Nest was still an asshole, but he wasn’t as bad or uncaring and fucked-up as I remembered him to be. Sometimes it really helps when you know what’s driving everyone and what they have and will end up going through. I was also fuzzy enough on the details to experience and pick up on them anew. I had an easier time keeping track of the characters and I remembered the ending wrong which I was pleasantly surprised by. Maybe I was more focused to notice everything that was shown but not said or better mentally prepared to read something dark (when you read something blind at 2AM you’re not always at your sharpest). Either way I’m happy to have given this a second chance, which you’ll end up seeing is a common theme when it comes to me experiencing Nakamura’s works.

It’s still not one of my favourite works of hers, but I can definitely appreciate the story and Bird’s Nest in particular a lot more now (I hope that doesn’t build on my own more recent mental instability...). He was trying to do his best running from one horrible situation to the next while trying to live with the trauma from his past. The art was interesting but very grotesque at times, which kinda adds to the experience, although not in a pleasant way. It’ll be fun to see how Nakamura develops as an artist as I continue to read her following works.

It’s not a manga I necessarily recommend, unless it’s for a very specific audience ready to read something dark and depressing including some tougher subjects (prostitution, rape, incest). If you’re curious to pick it up please note that it’s an adult manga not suitable for younger audiences.

New art dump. Mostly BnHA, but South Park and Copernicus no Kokyuu have cameos.

bro were you the one to talk about this yaoi manga where an ephebe was kind of groomed by an older guy?it wasn't patalliro.i think you mentioned it in a post talking about paternal issues or something and I remember looking it up but then I forgot about it and lost the tab.if it wasn't you my apologies this probably sounds hysterical. I have been going insane for weeks because I need to read it so I thought I'd give it a try

oh im afraid there are MANY such manga i have talked about. could be a cruel god reigns by moto hagio or kaze to ki no uta by keiko takemiya or copernicus no kokyuu by asumiko nakamura or so many more but these are the first ones that come to mind. if you remember any more details i can probably help you with more accuracy, cause i can't remember having made that post but also i make a LOT of posts so who can say. i hope you manage to find it!!

Sit the fuck down haters, you wouldn’t know “disturbing” if it ejaculated on your computer screen.

Sick and tired of people saying this work is “so disturbing and bad and evil and ewww”. Bitch, where did you come from, the Disney channel? KS is TAME, some of the tamest yet intriguing shit I’ve read, and yes this includes psychological yaoi. There are much worse depictions of “evil psycho homosexuals” that you’re complaining about, and worse depictions of the mentally ill. Regarding the representation of BPD, it’s 50/50 “good”/”bad”, so you can’t speak for everyone saying that it’s not a good representation since you are not everyone who has BPD on Tumblr, or the world.

Oh and Sangwoo is Bi, thanks for erasing his sexuality. Yeah he shames YoonBum for being in love with another guy but that’s what assholes do: They attack someone’s insecurities where it hurts most, even if that makes them a hypocrite. It’s almost like, people are complicated creatures that say and do shit that is contrary to what they think, feel, and believe. :O
