【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Beneath a Crimson Sky A Rebel Samurai's Time-Torn Journey【電子書籍】[ Chelsea Katsumi ]

＜ol start="1638"＞ ＜li＞Edo. The scent of cherry blossoms gives way to the stench of blood and ozone as shimmering tears in reality unleash chaos. Roman legionaries march alongside futuristic warriors, and Spanish conquistadors stalk the streets. Feudal Japan faces not invasion, but temporal anarchy.＜/li＞ ＜/ol＞ ＜p＞Akira, a young samurai, finds his father slain by a weapon out of timeーa Roman pilum. His grief fuels his vengeance, ignited by Kitsune, a fox spirit bound to his soul. Kitsune grants Akira the power to manipulate time, a gift that comes at a terrible price. He can accelerate his blade, rewind fate, but each use leaves him colder, mirroring the encroaching temporal frost. Kitsune whispers of the Chronomaestro, a being who orchestrates the rifts, seeking to mend history's flawed branches, regardless of the lives consumed.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Driven by vengeance and a dawning sense of responsibility, Akira joins Hana, a warrior monk whose monastery vanished into a rift, and Kenzo, a wizened onmy?ji plagued by visions of Edo’s annihilation. Their journey takes them through a ravaged landscape, where samurai clash with conquistadors beneath the shadow of Mt. Fuji, and the Shogunate’s desperate grip tightens, fueling dissent.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In a hidden enclave, Akira finds unlikely allies: Sayo, a swordsmith forging blades that cut through time, and Ren, a shamisen player whose melodies soothe the temporal distortions. But trust is a fragile thing in a fractured world, and betrayal lurks in the shadows. Whispers of a "Temporal Savior" surface, prophecies entwined with Akira's destiny. Yet every manipulation of time creates ripples, unforeseen consequences that reshape the future.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Akira discovers the Chronomaestro is not a monster, but a future descendant, driven mad by the devastation of his own time, seeking to prevent it by pruning the past. Faced with this tragic truth, Akira must choose: rewrite history, or forge a new path? In the heart of a swirling temporal vortex, he confronts the Chronomaestro, not with steel, but with the strength of his will, the weight of Edo's fate resting on his young shoulders. His choice will not erase the rifts, but transform them, weaving them into the fabric of Edo, creating a vibrant tapestry of time where samurai, legionaries, and warriors from futures unknown coexist beneath a crimson sky, forever changed.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams Japanese Science Fiction from Origins to Anime【電子書籍】

＜p＞Since the end of the Second World Warーand particularly over the last decadeーJapanese science fiction has strongly influenced global popular culture. Unlike American and British science fiction, its most popular examples have been visualーfrom Gojira (Godzilla) and Astro Boy in the 1950s and 1960s to the anime masterpieces Akira and Ghost in the Shell of the 1980s and 1990sーwhile little attention has been paid to a vibrant tradition of prose science fiction in Japan.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams remedies this neglect with a rich exploration of the genre that connects prose science fiction to contemporary anime. Bringing together Western scholars and leading Japanese critics, this groundbreaking work traces the beginnings, evolution, and future direction of science fiction in Japan, its major schools and authors, cultural origins and relationship to its Western counterparts, the role of the genre in the formation of Japan’s national and political identity, and its unique fan culture.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Covering a remarkable range of textsーfrom the 1930s fantastic detective fiction of Yumeno Ky?saku to the cross-culturally produced and marketed film and video game franchise Final Fantasyーthis book firmly establishes Japanese science fiction as a vital and exciting genre.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contributors: Hiroki Azuma; Hiroko Chiba, DePauw U; Naoki Chiba; William O.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Second It All Changed Clear Spring Crime Series【電子書籍】[ Robert C Frink ]

＜p＞It’s the American south, so you would expect a certain amount of racial tension, but between Chinese and Japanese? Fleeing a bad marriage, Suzy, a young Japanese-American mother thought she was safe as she hid in the sleepy central Florida town of Clear Springs. Then her baby, Akira, is kidnapped. The local, Sheriff’s Office, understaffed and underfunded is making no progress in finding the missing baby. Desperate, Susie teams up with William, a disconnected man trying to put his life back together. With his help, pieces to the puzzle slowly come into focus. Did her ex-husband, dogged by his tyrannical father take the baby, heir to a powerful crime family, back to Japan? Is the mysterious Zylontronic Processing Company a front for something far more sinister? It doesn’t take Suzy long to realize her Yakuza connected ex is not the only thing she needs to worry about. Her frantic search reveals racial hatred, heartbreaking exploitation and terrible anger she never imagined. Suzy’s parents had only hinted at the tension between Chinese and Japanese. If they had elaborated, Suzy might understand how Akira became the key to unlocking a decades old grudge, growing out of 1937 Nanking, involving ‘ukiyo-e yokai’, the beast of the floating world. The journey to find her son, takes her places she never believed could exist right around the corner from the sunny tourist havens of Florida.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Images of Idiocy The Idiot Figure in Modern Fiction and Film【電子書籍】[ Martin Halliwell ]

＜p＞This book traces the concept of idiocy as it has developed in fiction and film in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It focuses particularly on visual images of idiocy and argues that writers as diverse as Gustave Flaubert, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Joseph Conrad, John Steinbeck, Flannery O'Connor and Rohinton Mistry, and filmmakers such as Jean Renoir, Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock, Werner Herzog and John Huston have all been attracted to idiot figures as a way of thinking through issues of language acquisition, intelligence, creativity, disability, religion and social identity. Martin Halliwell provides a lively and detailed discussion of the most significant literary and cinematic uses of idiocy, arguing that scientific conceptions of the term as a classifiable medical condition are much too narrow. With the explosion of interest in idiocy among American and European filmmakers in the 1990s and the growing interest in its often overlooked history, this book offers a timely reassessment of idiocy and its distinctive place at the intersection of science and culture.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Haiku Poems【電子書籍】[ Ashi Akira ]

＜p＞As a form of poetry, haiku has today gained worldwide popularity. But this form widely varies outside Japan. Originally, haiku was written in accordance with certain rules, which are difficult to follow in non-Japanese writing. In Haiku Poems, author AshiAkira shares a collection of nearly five hundred haiku poems written originally in English, calling them “haiku poems” specifically to distinguish them from the originally Japanese form. His goal is to make them as close as possible to the core interest and meaning of Japanese haiku, despite the differences that arise from writing in English. These poems thus follow the five-seven-five syllable rule, albeit loosely, and focus on our connection with nature. In doing so, they serve as a reference to the long history of Japanese poetry, with a unique view on the present. White sails in blue sky, Solemn flyby of seagulls. Sunglasses and smile.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞Once upon a time, one had to read Japanese in order to enjoy manga. Today manga has become a global phenomenon, attracting audiences in North America, Europe, Africa, and Australia. The style has become so popular, in fact, that in the US and UK publishers are appropriating the manga style in a variety of print material, resulting in the birth of harlequin mangas which combine popular romance fiction titles with manga aesthetics. Comic publishers such as Dark Horse and DC Comics are translating Japanese "classics", like ＜em＞Akira＜/em＞, into English. And of course it wasn't long before Shakespeare received the manga treatment. So what is manga?＜br /＞ Manga roughly translates as "whimsical pictures" and its long history can be traced all the way back to picture books of eighteenth century Japan. Today, it comes in two basic forms: anthology magazines (such as ＜em＞Shukan Shonen Jampu＜/em＞) that contain several serials and manga 'books' (tankobon) that collect long-running serials from the anthologies and reprint them in one volume. The anthologies contain several serials, generally appear weekly and are so thick, up to 800 pages, that they are colloquially known as phone books. Sold at newspaper stands and in convenience stores, they often attract crowds of people who gather to read their favorite magazine.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Containing sections addressing the manga industry on an international scale, the different genres, formats and artists, as well the fans themselves, ＜em＞Manga: An Anthology of Global and Cultural Perspectives＜/em＞ is an important collection of essays by an international cast of scholars, experts, and fans, and provides a one-stop resource for all those who want to learn more about manga, as well as for anybody teaching a course on the subject.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
