Paper Talk Special: YOSHIHARA Rieko's interview (1989)

“Riki is an almost full-grown black panther”

YOSHIHARA Rieko has written in a wide variety of genres, from high-school stories to fantasy and science fiction. If there is one thing her characters, like Aki and Kacchan or Iason and Riki, have in common, it’s their impressive charisma. We had the opportunity to ask her more about Ai no kusabi in this interview.

Profile

Pen name’s origin: My birth name. My family name changed when I got married, so I thought “nobody would know it’s me!”.

Date of birth: October 4th, 1954

Blood type: B

Place of birth and residence: born in Fukuoka Prefecture, living in Kumamoto Prefecture

What made you send your manuscript to the magazine: It had been a long night…

1. What made you start writing Ai no kusabi?

I didn’t really… want to write about “pure love” in a science fiction setting (ah ah ah), because I wanted to write about an “encounter” than would not just be casual, the bonds it would create and the various feelings they would draw along.

2. Which character can you empathize with the most?

Probably Riki, as one could expect. Because, even though he has a sharp tongue and is quite mature, his way of thinking is fundamentally straight. Him running around struggling yet unable to act, because he’s caught between two feelings of different natures, makes him seductive, I like it.

3. What is your favourite scene? And what is a line you like?

My favourite, hmm… It would have to be the scene where Katze cries while stifling his voice. But I also cannot put aside the scene where Riki is kept waiting in vain in the rain by Guy… As for the lines, those would be “there’s no way I’m letting him die alone” or “you may be able to look the other way despite everything, but I… wouldn’t be worth more than trash if I did. I couldn’t go on living.”

4. Could you tell us about the creation process of the characters, like Riki and Iason? (size, weight, blood type, date of birth, etc.)

I had their personality roughly figured out, so I didn’t think about their finer characteristics, but…

Riki: Because he’s a slum mongrel, I pictured him as an almost full-grown black panther. Not frail, but slender and lithe. As for his appearance, his intelligence shines through the strength of his obstinate spirit, that’s all.

Iason: Since he’s an absolutely perfect member of the elite and the Black Market’s king, he should definitely be like the God of the Sun Apollo, but raised in the depths of the sea (or something). He’s shrewd and good-looking, incredibly proud, and wouldn’t collapse under any circumstances. Regarding his height, all things considered, he’s a head taller that Riki.

Guy: In my first draft, he was a tolerant and broad-minded herbivorous felid… that was my intention, but I wonder where and how things went wrong.

Raoul: His looks, intellect and handsomeness are on par with Iason’s. He has a sense of humour and, even more than Iason, nerves of steel.

Katze: Went from being raised in the slums to being a Furniture in Eos to being a broker on the black market. Putting aside the protagonists, he’s the one with the most dramatic life, so that’s probably why I gave him a tragic handicap, like being a scarface or being a man without manhood…

Kirie: Representing slum dwellers in their late teens, he’s overconfident and reckless. He has a very limited worldview, so he’s the most fragile yet also the most dangerous character.

5. Concerning the way you chose the characters’ names, you previously said you were “drawn to the “dragon” kanji”, were you fixated on something like that for Ai no kusabi?

This time I wanted to give them names that would fit their character, so… I gave Riki a name conveying “power” (riki is one of the few ways to read the kanji meaning “power”), I named Iason after a hero from Greek mythology, and Guy after the goddess of the Earth, Gaia, for his ability to embrace everything. But when you list them, they’re not consistent. All things considered, you could say they’re just far-fetched choices, ah ah ah…

6. Writing Ai no kusabi, what did you enjoy? What did you find difficult?

For the most of it, the story was ever changing with the characters’ feelings, so until I had reached the ending, I had fun worrying (somehow) while writing. Difficult things that would bring wrinkles to my forehead, I tend not to think too much about them.

7. A number of different types of Pet Rings appear in readers’ four-case mangas, but how do you picture them yourself?

No, well, when it comes to Riki’s, its basic image was something like Sun Wukong’s circlet. Looking at it like this makes Journey to the West quite salacious too… don’t you think?

8. Could you tell us your thoughts about the cassette adaptation?

I thought “Are you sure we can really do that?”… but when it became real, well, I mean, ah ah ah, what could I say? As you know, this work involves many human relationships, some violent lines, and it’s quite heavy on that. “How can we make all that fit in 60 minutes?” I wondered… When I heard the tape for the first time, it dawned on me that letters and voices are truly two completely different things, obviously. I wrote it, so it’s weird for me to say that, but I thought “can I really make Mr SEKI and Mr SHIOZAWA say those things?”… on the other hand, when I wondered what faces they made then, Tokyo felt so far away… So those were my thoughts. But everyone used their beautiful voice to give impassioned performances, so I’m very happy!

9. And lastly, what is June to you?

A breather between child rearing and house chores, a teatime friend… or something like that. (October 1989)

Hey guys!

Just a little ℹ️nfopost.

Quite a long time ago I noticed that in my Tumblr the section of personal messages disappeared. I figured it was temporary, but the problem is permanent. I can't send or receive messages, I can't even reply to comments on posts.

I also noticed that my blog and posts went off the grid. I haven't been showing up in tag search for a long time.

Broadly speaking, something is happening either with my blog or with Tumblr, so if you want to contact me, massage me on Instagram.

Stay in touch🙋‍♀️

Upd 27.3

I noticed that someone sent me messages on Instagram in May. I saw it just now, because via vpn inst works very slowly. But as soon as I tried to read the messages, they disappeared.

If suddenly someone thinks that I ignore you on purpose, then believe me, this is not so. I am always glad to any questions. But something is going wrong with my social media, apparently due to political issues.

Therefore, I apologize for my inaccessibility🙇‍♀️

Send you love and peace 💮

Ребятушки, всем привет!

Небольшой ℹ️нформативный пост.

Довольно давно заметила, что в Тумблере у меня исчез раздел личных сообщений. Решила, что это временное явление, но проблема оказалась постоянной. Я не могу отправлять сообщения и принимать их, не могу даже ответить на комментарии к постам.

Также обратила внимание, что мой блог и посты исчезли со всех радаров. В поиске по тегам я уже давно не высвечиваюсь.

В общем, что-то происходит либо с моим блогом, либо с Тумблером, поэтому, если захотите со мной связаться, пишите в Инстаграм.

Не теряйте!🙋‍♀️

Upd 27.3

Заметила, что мне кто-то писал сообщения в инст в мае. Увидела их только сейчас, так как через впн инст очень плохо работает. Но как только я попыталась прочитать сообщения - они исчезли.

Если вдруг кто думает, что я вас умышленно игнорирую, то поверьте это не так. Я всегда рада любым вопросам. Но что-то идёт не так с моими сетями, видимо из-за политических событий.

Потому приношу свои извинения за свою недоступность🙇‍♀️

Всем любви и добра 💮

There were a few pages in between the first and second pages (And among other pages), after a while I was too lazy and didn't have the motivation to continue... 🥲

* Some english words I used just from google translate, I don't know if it's correct (and some frames I haven't added dialogue yet). And the last page is not finished yet 🥲
