She told a story about a monster that lived in a tunnel along the Nijigahara embankment that would bring the world to an end, which terrified the other children. As a result of her injuries she has been in a coma ever since. I couldn’t get that short segment of Nijigahara Holograph out of my mind, my anticipation only growing stronger the closer the manga’s release date came.Įleven years ago Arie Kimura, a young girl bullied by her classmates, fell down a well. The sequence, taken from near the end of Nijigahara Holograph, was so chilling and unsettling and at the same time so striking and beautiful that it left a huge impression on me. But after seeing an early preview of the manga, I knew that I would need to read it no matter what. I had previously read and greatly enjoyed Asano’s other manga currently available in English- What a Wonderful World! and Solanin, both published by Viz Media-so I was naturally interested in Nijigahara Holograph. Originally published in Japan in 2006, Fantagraphics’ English-language edition is collected in an attractive, large-trim hardcover much like its other manga releases. ![]() ![]() Nijigahara Holograph, the third manga by Inio Asano to have been licensed in English, was one of my most highly anticipated manga releases for 2014. ![]()
