can't stop thinking abt takahiro arai's evaluation of jean and javert's dynamic, coupled with the massive bold "LOVE IT!!!" at the bottom

exactly, mr arai.

exactly.

Okay don't come at me for this but I 100% judge any and all Les Mis adaptations almost completely by their design and characterization of Javert.

Like if he's not on point then I'm sorry, I'm done, I can't.

#i love the other characters but still #and also by how much romantic tension there is between him and Jean Valjean #No hes not my favorite character why do you ask? #les mis #les miserables #les amis de l'abc #Javert #jean valjean #valvert #barricade boys #Les Mis manga #les mis arai #takahiro arai #the brick #phillip quast #russel crowe

Also also also and this is not coherent at ALL but I will never be over the contrasts in the manga character design for JVJ and Javert and for Enjolras and Grantaire and how they even parallel BOTH DUOS!

Javert and Enjolras have blue eyes and blond golden hair, reminiscent of the artistic depiction of angels, a shining gaze that can pierce the soul, the light of their ideal moving them.

And JVJ and Grantaire have a lot of black in their design. Black clothes, black hair (tho JVJ's become grey as he gets more trauma :c) and brow eyes that look basically RED in the color illustrations, and they have a sad cynical demeanor even tho they're inspired by someone else and they ultimately defy their own desperation and cynism to die for someone else and for a higher ideal!

And the chapter where Enjolras tells Javert, now a prisoner, that he's willing to die for his belief and Javert looks impassively and the reader GETS that Javert is also willing to die for his, except he doesn't get his wish in that very same chapter.

If Enjolras is the Achilles of the republic and freedom, Javert is an Achilles that chooses to serve the regime that oppresses him. They have the same fervor and the same almost religious faith in ideals that aren't compatible.

And when the imperfect, tormented Patroclus introduces greyness to their worldview, makes them open their eyes to how they were mistaken, they break but differently. Enjolras breaks gently in the moment of his death, shared by Grantaire, in an embrace that unifies love for humans in general and love for a person in particular.

Javert breaks many minor times thanks to Jean Valjean and the result is never pretty. It all accumulates into him understanding that whatever he does, he's making the wrong choice so he condemns himself. Jean Valjean also condemns himself to death, for the happiness of Cosette.

And though they came SO CLOSE, they never fully managed to comprehend each other. They felt compassion at the end, maybe even love, but couldn't understand. There wasn't time.

So

What was your final opinion on the Les mis manga by Arai? Because i just finished it (it was published in Italy) and I think it may be my new favorite adaptation of Les mis

I loved it! Easily one of, if not my absolute favorite Les Mis adaptation. Arai is a giant Les Mis fan and it shows — there's so many details that make it into this manga that I've never seen in any other adaptation, and he took full advantage of the media to really dig into the symbolism. It doesn't hurt that he had a ton of time and space to tell the full story, digressions aside (though even the digressions' themes were woven in throughout).

(reminder to folks that the official English translation now has 3/4 omnibus volumes out, and the last one — which will include the entirety of the barricades and their aftermath — is coming out on December 5th! links to order it here!)

Ok so I started reading Takahiro Arai’s Les Mis manga, and I genuinely love it so much.

All the visual symbolism is incredible. I’ve read up to fan times death so far, and it’s just such a great adaptation!!!

It’s clear the artist has a great appreciation for Hugo’s work.

Did you know that in the Arai manga, when Joly gets shot, Bossuet screams his name and runs to him, but Joly weakly says, "Do not come Bossuet" because he didn't want Bossuet to leave his cover. But it doesn't stop him and Bossuet gets shot and dies anyways. Then Joly, bleeding out but still alive, seems to cry while looking at his friend's dead body? Did you know that? Well you do now.

#If I had to suffer with this knowledge then so did you #les mis #les miserables #joly #bossuet #bini #arai manga #I discovered this when working on my barricade day video and needed to share it #like amazing job at writing their death scene but did you have to hurt me like this??

Reading more of the Les Mis manga drawn by Arai and I need to recover from the fall of the barricade because *gestures to everything* but also congrats to Arai for somehow managing to outgay Victor Hugo himself.

#les mis #les Miserables #exr #valvert #this is specifically about them but there are also a lot of amis ships moments here and there that i appreciated a llt #and im not normally an amis person tho i enjoy them I'm not actively fannish over them #les mis manga #mari reads things #enjolras #grantaire #Javert #Jean Valjean #this manga deserves a more proper comment besides omg my ships so i apologize #at the moment i can't write anything more coherent than this

We've reached Chapter 1.5.5, "Vague Flashes on the Horizon," of Les Mis, and you know what that means?

It's Hot Manga Javert time!

Pages 363–373 of the first English omnibus of Arai's manga introduce Javert and his suspicions of Madeleine (aided, in this case, by a seed planted by Fauchelevant), but it isn't until much, much later, in Volume 7 of the Japanese manga (presumably part of the 4th English omnibus eventually), on pages 6–11, that we see where he came from: "As he grew up, he thought that he was outside the pale of society, and he despaired of ever re-entering it. He observed that society unpardoningly excludes two classes of men,—those who attack it and those who guard it." This page below is where he made the choice whether to attack or to guard the society he was excluded from. (also featured: Javert's dogsona, as associated with him in the manga much in the same way that Valjean is shadowed by a lion)
