The Manga Revue, 5/14/18

Hey, y’all… apologies for the radio silence last week! I was knee-deep in term papers and final exams, but I submitted my course grades yesterday and am back in the manga-reviewing saddle. As penance for skipping a week, today’s column is super-sized, with review links galore and the low down on Cutie Honey a Go Go!, Seven Seas’ newest Go Nagai offering.

Cutie Honey a Go Go! Original Story by Go Nagai; Story & Art by Shimpei Itoh; Planning Cooperation by Hideaki Anno Translated by Zack Davisson an Adrienne Beck Seven Seas, 400 pp. Rated T, for Teen (Nudity and bloodless violence)

Cutie Honey a Go Go! is not a conventionally good manga. Its plot is riddled with holes, its characters are two-dimensional, and its artwork is an unholy marriage of Nixon-era character designs and Photoshopped backgrounds. Yet for all its obvious limitations, Cutie Honey a Go-Go! is cheeky fun in the manner of an Austin Powers movie; it’s a cartoon of a cartoon, an irreverent send-up of the original source material that simultaneously captures the original manga’s naughty tone while updating the plot and characters for contemporary readers.

The source material is a mixture of Hideaki Anno’s 2004 film and Go Nagai’s original 1973 manga, plucking characters and storylines from both and combining them into something new. Per Anno’s film, the story’s characters are primarily adults, not teenagers, and the Catholic overtones of the original series are muted. Per Nagai’s original Weekly Shonen Champion series, the final act of Cutie Honey unfolds at the Saint Chapel School for Girls, where the transforming android and her human pal Aki Natsuko square off with the lethal beauties of the Panther Claw organization.

Shimpei Itoh’s greatest skill as an adaptor is his comic chops. In Cutie Honey a Go Go!, Aki Natsuko is no longer a blushing school girl with a crush on the titular android; she’s a hard-charging inspector who supervises a bureau of men and faces down danger with the brash confidence of a Harrison Ford character. Most of the manga’s best gags involve Aki and her hapless subordinate Todoroki, who plays Hildy Johnson to her Walter Burns. Itoh also has a flare for introducing the Panther Claw ladies, all of whom look like Betty Paige cosplayers wearing outlandish animal print bathing suits; their entrances are choreographed like musical theater numbers, complete with synchronized minions dancing, prancing, and throwing lethal objects with consummate precision. The sheer exuberance of these sequences helps distract from the clunky artwork and cheesy dialogue, goosing the proceedings with an infectious energy that’s impossible to resist.

As for the fan service, it’s there — Itoh serves up plenty of gratuitous nudity, just as Nagai did in the original. (Cutie Honey’s clothing dissolves to tatters whenever she transforms.) Yet for all the T&A, Cute Honey looks more like a 1962 issue of Playboy magazine rather than a contemporary manga; there’s a pin-up coyness about the cheesecake that renders these images benign. And c’mon… how can you not cheer on a heroine who’s rocking a half pair of assless chaps while saving the world? I rest my case. Recommended.

Must-Read Reviews

Siddarth Gupta pores over last week’s Weekly Shonen Jump Bonus Issue. Over at Hakutaku, Alana posts a thoughtful introduction to Leiji Matsumoto’s Captain Harlock, tracing the character across the creator’s entire oeuvre. And while you’re there, take a minute to appreciate her review of Hello Baby, a one-shot title from Takeshi Obata (Death Note, Platinum End) and Masanori Morita (Rookies, Shiba Inu) that focuses on “wannabe gangster” who “plots to murder a high-ranking yakuza boss.” Further afield, Kelly Chiu explains why every series manga fan should read Fullmetal Alchemist.
