Book 18/24: Inside Mari by Shuzo Oshimi Rating: 3.25/5

I'll warn off the bat that this is an 18+ book with some graphic sexual imagery and dark themes.

I've read another very good manga by Oshimi, Happiness, so when I saw the plot summary for this was "creepy college drop out body swaps with high school girl named Mari" I knew there had to be more to it than that. And there is. It starts off as a deconstruction of body swapping, but grows to explore issues of adolescence, sexuality, and identity in more depth. I don't want to dig into the themes too much, as they unfold as part of the mystery behind the body swapping, but the tonal shift goes from "haha pervy guy has girl body" to things like this:

Oshimi is a talented artist. I love when he illustrates everything without midtones, which comes into play effectively in this story.

The ending fizzles a little, especially in parts of Mari's backstory, but it is still a solid, unsettling, and cutting look at what it means to be a teen girl trying to grow up in a hostile world.

#it's also queer #but if you squint you can dismiss the queerness so i'm not going to push that in the main body of the text here #but the word lesbian is used explicitly #inside mari #oshimi shuzo #shuzo oshimi #reading challenge 2023

Blood on the Tracks - Oshimi Shuzo

#im so unwell i'm going to rant in the tags #no because so many times the protagonist has looked on to the sky and saw his mother or felt the ghost of his mother's influence and even #during both moments of his mother's betrayal both when he was an infant and as a child he was looking on from a hill/mountain?? #but he could never just take in the view it was always his mother. looking up into the sky he sees his mother and his pain and confusion #but by the end of it he is not his mother's son he is himself #looking up at the sky reminds him of his mother but he cannot picture her face because she doesn't have that same #godly grip on his identity and mind. he is living his own life not for the approval the grief nor hatred of his mother #but because life goes on and he is just some guy under the great blue sky. he is not defined by being his mother's son. #anyways phenomenal work what the fuck #oshimi shuzo #blood on the tracks #chi no wadachi #trail of blood #seb out

[noraviolence]

the implication of the conclusion of happiness (by oshimi shuzo) that nora and okazaki lived together eternally until the sun exploded is overwhelming to me
