Imagenes: Cobalt-series

Hola a todos, hoy os traigo una imagen que encontre la semana pasada, pero como estaba publicando los resumenes de Marionette, no quise interrumpir. Bien, esta es una ilustracion de esas que Saito hace para las portadas de novelas y tal. Ya habia visto otras de la serie Cobalt pero esta era la primera vez que la veia, y la verdad es que es preciosa. El titulo de esta novela (o lo que sea) es Artemisa...(y algo mas que no se, jajaja).

Hi everyone, today I bring you an image I fould last week, but as I was doing Marionette summary, I didnt want to interrupt them.

The title of the novel is 'Artemis...(something else which I dont get it...).

Sobre Marionette

Mi valoracion general sobre esta obra es muy buena. Ha sido una historia muy entretenida, intrigante con el tema de la doble personalidad, y como siempre diferente. Tan solo voy a decir que me hubiera gustado un poco mas largo el final, un par de paginas mas, para afianzar mas la cosa. Por lo demas, excelente. La añado a mis favoritas junto con Kanon y Waltz wa shiroi dress de (y Bronze no tenshi claro, aunque como no la he 'leido' toda...).

About Marionette...

I have found it enjoyable, interesting with the double personality issue, and as always different from any other. I will only mention that I would have liked an extended ending, a few more pages at least. Besides that, it's excellent. I will add it to my favorites along with Kanon and Walz wa shiroi dress de (and Bronze no tenshi of course, though I havent 'read' it all yet ...)

RESUMEN ESPAÑOL

Comienza la obra, y en una escena Nanami se desmaya y al despertarse esta con Takeru. Yuki entra en la habitacion y le dice a Takeru que él fue quien realmente murio en el incendio y le enseña un papel del medico que lo verifica. Tambien les dice que el unico que estaba en la habitacion ese dia era Jin asi que el fue el autor del crimen. Takeru dice que por eso ahora comprende la razon de que le odie tanto y quiera que desaparezca. Nanami le dice que no quiere que ninguno de los dos desaparezca. Takeru le pregunta a Nanami si aun asi sigue queriendo a Jin. Siguen con la obra, y conforme Nanami va recitando su papel se va dando cuenta de sus confusos sentimientos por Takeru. En la escena final, cuando van a quemar a Juana, un foco cae al escenario y todo se prende fuego. Todo el mundo sale pero Nanami no puede soltarse de las cadenas. Takeru va a salvarla.Y entonces se da cuenta que tambien ama a Takeru. Cuando iban a salir, Takeru da media vuelta y vuelve al teatro. Nanami lo sigue y le pregunta que hace. Takeru le dice que le estan viniendo recuerdos del incendio de hace 9 años, que espere un poco mas. En esto que Takeru se cae al suelo, Nanami dice que parece que hubiera entrado en un espejo. Al momento ve a dos niños Jin y Takeru, hablando, cómo se conocieron, y luego el porqué estaba ese dia Takeru en casa de Jin. Jin queria cambiarse con el, ofrecerle todo lo que no tenia Takeru. Cuando se origina el fuego, a Takeru le afecta el humo mas las heridas que tenia de los golpes que su padre le habia dado y le dice a Jin que no lo mueva o morira. Jin le dice que no puede morir, que le ofrece su vida, que viva en él, en su cuerpo. Ahora se ven a los dos hombres, y Jin le dice a Takeru que esta vez no fallara, que le ofrece su cuerpo, que lo tome. Jin abraza a Takeru, Takeru le dice que no le interesa, que le sigue odiando. Jin le dice que no importa, eso hara mas facil liberarse de él para siempre. El cuerpo es un solo y ellos son dos, uno debe morir. Takeru le dice que no le gusta que le ofrezcan cosas que el roba a la gente, y que por eso prefiere tambien desaparecer él tambien. Nanami les grita que no la dejen sola. Que vuelvan a ella los dos juntos y rompe el espejo. La siguiente escena, 'Jin' sale del teatro con Nanami en brazos. Despues se ve Nanami en el hospital preguntando por Jin y alli esta él, ahora con el pelo corto (se lo tuvo que cortar por que se quemo parte del pelo). Entonces le explica que ninguno ha muerto que ahora viven en él. Luego él le pregunta que a quien amaba mas, y ella responde que a los dos con todo su corazon. Cuando Nanami le pregunta que ahora como le puede llamar, él responde que Masayuki. Luego le dice que esta escribiendo una obra sobre ellos, que se llamara 'Otra marioneta'.

Jin wanted to exchange their lives, he wanted to offer Takeru what he hadnt had before. When the fire began, Takure is kneeling in the ground, he cannot breath and he's also quite hurt by his father's beating and told Jin not to move him or he would die. Jin told him not to die, to take his body, to live in him, in his body. Now the two man show up, Jin tells Takeru this time he wont fail, he offers him his body, to please take it. Jin embraces Takeru and Takeru says he still hates him. Jin says he doesnt mind, that would make easier getting rid of his personality for once and all. The body is just one and they are two, one of them must die. Takeru says he's not interested in something given for free, he's used to stealing people and so he prefer to disappear too. Nanami begs them please not to leave her alone. To come back both of them together and so she breaks the mirror. In the next scene, 'Jin' finally goes outside the theatre with Nanami in his arms. After that, we see Nanami at hospital and then she ask for Jin and there he is, with a new haircut (he had to have his hair cut because of the fire...). Then he tells her non of them has died, they live in him. After that he asks her who she loved most and she replies she loved the two with all her heart. When Nanami asks him how she can call him now, he says Masayuki. Then he tells her he's writting a new play about them, and its title would be 'The other marionette'.

Al dia siguiente, en el tablon esta el cast para la siguiente representacion y Jin ya no esta de bestia. Nanami va a buscarlo y le dice que de que tiene miedo, que no puede esconderse. Asi que pues Jin le dice que tiene razon y le dice a Yuki que para la proxima noche, él volvera a hacer de bestia. Mas tarde Jin vuelve con un nuevo guion, ahora habra dos Bellas en el escenario, una que muestra una cara, y la otra, la sombra, que muestre todo lo contrario. Yukiko y Nanami actuaran a la vez para crear una sola Bella, mas completa. Jin, le pide a Yuki que si el otro Jin vuelve a salir, que le encierre. Empieza la obra y Yukiko nada mas hace ponerse delante de Nanami para que no la puedan ver. Esta, enfadada, decide salir un poco de su papel e improvisar. Cuando termina la escena Jin va a hablar con Yukiko y le dice algo al oido y esta se rie mirando a Nanami. Nanami esta un poco celosa ya que Jin no le ha dicho nada a ella y la ha ignorado. De vuelta en el escenario Yukiko vuelve a hacer de las suyas, tapando a Nanami e incluso recitando los dialogos de Nanami. Cuando ella le pregunta, Yukiko le dice que esta haciendo lo que le ha dicho Jin, que la enfade hasta la desesperacion. Nanami no puede creerse que Jin haya dicho eso, pero luego pensando, llega a la conclusion que ese no es Jin. Va a contarselo a Yuki pero Yuki le dice que esta equivocada, que es Jin, porque al otro no le gusta ni sabe interpretar, asi pues no puede ser el otro el que esta en el escenario. Nanami intenta convencerse. Yuki va a hablar con Jin para preguntarle y cuando se da cuenta quien es e intenta encerrarlo, es Jin quien encierra a Yuki. Luego va a buscar a Nanami y hablando con ella, Nanami se da cuenta realmente que no es Jin. El otro propone arruinar la obra, cuando solo faltan unas pocas escenas. Nanami le dice que hara cualquier cosa para que terminen la obra, y le le dice que debe ser suya, acostarse con el. Ella accede y continuan la obra. Entre escena y escena, Nanami vi al otro Jin hablando con un tecnico y de pronto ve su reflejo en el espejo, y es cuando ve al verdadero Jin. Va a decirselo a Yuki, que ha salido del vestuario, y le cuenta lo que ha visto. Yuki le dice que Jin nunca era consciente de lo que pasaba cuando el otro Jin era presente y Nanami le dice que ahora si que estaba en el reflejo, que podria ser que ahora si se diera cuenta. Nanami quiere intentar traer de vuelta a Jin.
En la ultima escena, mientras Nanami esta recitando, el otro Jin la coge y le pregunta si espera que Jin vuelva. Y tambien le dice que él es el unico que conoce los sentimientos de Jin, y que Jin esta enamorado de Nanami. Aunque es tan tonto que no sabe reconocer los sentimientos y piensa que solo esta enamorado de ella por su talento. Nanami no cree nada de lo que dice el otro Jin. Y tambien se da cuenta que el nuevo guion es un reflejo de la vida de Jin, de su doble personalidad.

ENGLISH SUMMARY

At the end of the play, Nanami asks Jin if he's the 'true' one. So Jin asks her back if she has met the other Jin, to tell her everything that has happened and then takes her to the dressing room. Nanami tells him everything but for the kiss the other Jin gave her.
The next day, they announce the cast for the next performance and Jin wont do the beast role. Nanami looks for him and tells him he's frightened and that he can go on hidding. Jin agrees and tells Yuki he will be beast the following night. Later, he comes back with a new modified script, now there will be two beauties on stage, the original one and her shadows (the very opposite of her). Yukiko and Nanami would act together to create a single Beauty. Jin asks Yuki to take him and lock him somewhere if his other personality shows up. The performance beings and Yukiko enjoys being in front of Nanami so anyone can see her. Nanami, angry, decides to improvise and shows up besides Yukiko. When that scene finishes, Jin talks to Yukiko, he whisperes something in her ear and then she laughs glancing at Nanami. Nanami is a bit jealous because Jin hasnt told anything to her and has just ignored her. Back on stage, Yukiko does the very same as before, being in from of Nanami even saying her dialogues. She's stealing Nanami's role. When she asks Yukiko, she only says she's doing what Jin told her to, to make her angry till desperation. Nanami cant belives Jin has said that, but after thinking a bit, she realizes that he cant be Jin. She goes to tell Yuki but Yuki assures her she's mistaken. If he would be the other Jin, the other Jin cant perform and also he doesnt like it. So the Jin onstage has to be the 'true' Jin. She tries to autoconvince herself. Yuki asks Jin what's going on and tries to lock him up but the other Jin locks Yuki up before he can do anything. Then the other Jin goes to talk to Nanami, and then she does realize it's the other!. The other Jin is decided to ruin the play once more when they're only a few scenes left to finish. Nanami tells her she would do whatever so they can finish the play and he asks her to be his, to spend the night with him. She agrees and the performance goes on. Between scene and scene, she sees Jin talking to a technical and then sees his reflection on the mirror and that's the 'true' Jin. She goes to tell Yuki about it. Yuki tells her that Jin is never conscious when the other Jin shows up and Nanami tells her that the reflection was really Jin, and maybe now he's conscious. Nanami wants to bring back Jin. In the last scene, when Nanami was acting, the other Jin takes her and ask her if she's waiting for Jin to come back. Also tells her that he's the only one who knows about Jin's emotions, that he's in love with her. Though he's fool enough not to realize that feeling, and that he thinks it's only because of her acting skills. Nanami doesnt belive what the other Jin has said. And finally realizes that the new script is like Jin's very life and his double personality.

Revista Marie...

Pues bien, ayer ya pusieron en la web el nuevo numero de la revista y una vez mas no es una ilustracion de la Saito ¬¬. Por lo que se ve (ya van 2 numeros) no vamos a deleitarnos mas con sus magnificas ilustraciones, una verdadera lastima. En fin, aun nos queda Sabrina, o eso espero. Al ser un numero extra seran pocas publicaciones al año, 3 o 4, supongo...Ya veremos cuando sale el siguiente, porque de momento no hay ninguna noticia al respecto.

Yesterday they uploaded the information on the new Marie's magazine to the website and once again the cover is not a Saito' illustration ¬¬. It seems (they're already 2 issues) that we're not going to see any more covers with her illustration, a real pity. Well, we still have some hopes with Sabrina...Though being an extra issue, we would only get a few numbers a year, 3 or 4 I think...We will see when the next issue is released, because there's no any info about it right now.

RESUMEN ESPAÑOL

Este tercer tomo es entero la representacion de "La bella y la bestia". La noche del estreno, la primera sorpresa es que esta la platea vacia, solo hay un par de espectadores. Siguen adelante con los preparativos de ultima hora y cuando faltan apenas 30 minutos para que comience, Kondo (la bestia) se marcha del teatro. Nanami lo ve, y él solo le dice que le diga a Jin que se las apañe. Asi pues Nanami informa a Jin y a Yuki de lo sucedido, y Jin le dice al suplente de la bestia que él hara el papel esta noche y cuando le dice que le diga una parte del guion, el chico se queda atrancado sin saber seguir. Jin se enfada y se aleja. Nanami se va a los camerinos y alli se encuentra a Yukiko (la bella por esa noche) llorando y quejandose que no puede hacer de bella esa noche porque Kondo no esta, no hay casi publico. Asi que Nanami, solo pensando en lo que esto puede suponer para la obra de Jin, decide hacer ella el papel de Bella. Yukiko la deja hacer, ya que esto podria humillarla y asi por fin podria desquitarse con ella. Cuando Yuki le dice a Jin que Nanami va a hacer de Bella, él dice que hara de Bestia. Mientras tanto, un chico, una especie de 'fan' de Nanami, pone un cartel de 'gratis' fuera del teatro y consigue atraer a muchas personas y asi llenar un poco mas el teatro.
Comienza la obra y Nanami y Jin interpretan sus papeles magnificamente bien y el publico los aplaude. En una escena a mitad de la obra, de repente Jin se queda parado, sin seguir su papel y seguido, se da la vuelta y deja el escenario. Nanami le llama pero el ya se ha ido. Una vez que han salido los actores de la siguiente escena, Nanami va a buscar a Jin a su camerino y alli el la coge y cierra la puerta. Se comporta de una manera muy distinta a como es el. Dice que no le importa nada la obra y que mejor dedicarse a algun otro jueguecito adulto, y entonces la besa. Yuki llega y la 'rescata'. Nanami esta confundida por la actitud de Jin, dice que ese no es Jin. Yuki al final termina explicandole que Jin, efectivamente no es el mismo Jin. Jin sufre de doble personalidad, y esta otra personalidad es un donjuan, al que no le importa nada salvo el mismo y que le gusta armar escandalos. Tras pensarlo un poco, Nanami decide volver al escenario con este otro Jin e intentar salvar la obra. Asi pues siguen interpretando, improvisando, pues Jin no sigue el papel de la bestia tal cual esta en el guion. En la escena final, cuando la bestia se esta muriendo, por fin, vuelve a aparecer el 'verdadero' Jin y consiguen terminar la obra bien.

ENGLISH SUMMARY

This 3rd Volume is all about 'The beauty and the beast' play. On the opening night, the first surprise is the theatre is almost empty, there's only a few persons here and there. Everyone goes on with their jobs and when it's about 30 minutes left for the beginning, Kondo (the beast) leaves the theatre. Nanami sees him, and he only tells her to tell Jin everything is on his hands now. Nanami tells Jin and Yuki, so Jin names another boy as 'beast' and asks him to tell him a few of the beast lines, which the boy fails to remember. Jin is very upsets and steps out. Nanami goes to the dressing rooms and finds Yukiko (the beauty for that night) weeping and saying she cant do her role because Kondo is not there and there's no audience. So Nanami, thinking about the problem this would be for Jin's play, decides to play Bella herself that night. Yukiko agrees, that's a chance to humillate her so she would be happy when that happens. When Yuki tells Jin that Nanami will play Bella, he says he will do the beast role. Meanwhile, a guy, a kind of Nanami's "fan", invite a lot of people to the theatre and finally there's a good audience for that night's performance.
When the play beings, Nanami and Jin do a wonderful performance and everybody claps. In a scene, halfway through the play, Jin is stuck and suddenly leaves the stage. Nanami calls him but he's already gone. Once the other actors are on stage, Nanami goes to Jin's dressing room. He takes her in and closes the door. He acts very weird, different from normal Jin's behaviour. He says he doesnt care for the play and that they can enjoy some adults games, and then kisses her. Yuki arrives and 'saves' her. Nanami is confussed due to Jin's strange behaviour and says he's not Jin. Yuki finally explains her the situation, that in reality he's not Jin. Jin suffers from 'double personality', and this personality is a 'gigolo', selfish, arrogant, and loves to cause problems. After thinking about it for a while, Nanami decides to go on performing with him and try to 'save' the play. They go on acting, improvissing, because Jin doesnt follow the beast role as it's in the script. In the final scene, when the beast is dying, finally appears the 'true' Jin and they success to finish the play properly.

Las amistades peligrosas - Dangerous Liaisons

Os acordais que el otro dia os comente un poco que en el proximo numero de Rinka salia una historia nueva de la Saito...aqui vuelvo a poner la imagen.

Pues el otro dia buscando con el nombre japo en el google nada mas hacia salirme imagenes de la peli de Las amistades peligrosas y yo que no sabia a que venia eso. Bien, hoy en el bbs chino habian puesto la traduccion de los kanji primeros y despues por fin he traducido bien el nombre y voilà: vizconde de Valmont, y claro, es el prota de las amistades peligrosas.......Asi que nada, digo yo que la historia sera en algo parecida a la novela/peli. Ya os dire cuando me llegue la revista, que la he encargado. Mientras os dejo link a la wikipedia para que veais el argumento (aqui)

The other day I talked about the new story Saito will publish in the upcoming issue of Rinka. Well, when I was searching for some more information on google with the japanese name, there were only images of the movie 'dangerous liaisons', and I didnt know why. Well today at the chinese bbs, they have translated the kanji and I finally translated right the japanese name and voilà: Viscount Valmont, main character of 'dangerous liaisons'. So the plot must be like the novel/movie, I think...I will tell you when my magazine arrives, I ordered it the other day. Meanwhile you can take a look at wikipedia data on 'dangerous liaisons' (here).

RESUMEN ESPAÑOL

Jin decide hacer la obra de 'la bella y la bestia' y como el guion esta ya viejo, dice que va a modificarlo un poco. Reparte los papeles y a Nanami le toca ser el gato. El papel de Bella recae sobre Yukiko, la actriz que ya hizo de Bella en la ultima actuacion, un año antes. Nanami aunque un poco decepcionada al principio con el papel, intenta hacerlo lo mejor que pueda y para ello empieza a seguir a un gato para observar sus movimientos. Asi cuando Jin llega a casa la encuentra en el cuarto haciendo los mismos movimientos que el gato. Se queda observandola un momento y luego entra y le dice que recite el guion que le da. El guion es la parte de Bella. Ella se sorprende y le dice que para que quiere recitarlo si ella tiene el papel de gato. Pero Jin no escucha y le pide que lea. Nanami empieza a leer y mientras tanto a Jin se le van ocurriendo modificaciones, basadas en la forma de interpretar de Nanami y asi pues va reescribiendo el guion. Se pasan toda la noche recitando y modificando. A la mañana siguiente, en la compañia, Jin da una noticia, va a haber un doble reparto para el papel de Bella, Yukiko y Nanami. Yukiko esta enfadada a mas no poder y el resto de actores muy sorprendidos. Asi pues Nanami empieza a ensayar la parte de Bella. Yukiko empieza a hablar con Kondo (el que hace el papel de Bestia) para boicotear a Nanami, y asi Kondo se niega a actuar con Nanami. El primer ensayo comienza y Yukiko hace su escena tal cual como lo hiciera hacia un año, todo el mundo piensa que es una interpretacion perfecta incluso Nanami, a la que le entran dudas de como va a hacerlo ella, pero Yuki la anima. Cuando Nanami empieza, al poco Jin le dice que pare y baje del escenario para hablar pero ella se enfrenta por primera vez a el, y se niega. Sigue interpretando y todo el mundo se queda un poco asombrado, tanto porque no se parece a la interpretacion de la otra Bella y tambien por la expresividad de sus movimientos y acciones. Hasta que sale Kondo (la bestia) asi de repente y ahi se corta la interpretacion. Kondo empieza a despotricar contra Nanami y su interpretacion y como Jin no dice nada mientras ella arruina todo, la obra y su compañia. Jin da la razon al final pero termina peleandose con Kondo, hasta que Yuki interviene. Yuki acompaña a Jin y a Nanami a casa y los deja. Nanami se pone a llorar sobre Jin porque no sabe como hacer su papel, ya que a nadie le gusto su interpretacion. Jin le dice que no podia felicitarla asi abiertamente delante de todo el mundo porque el debe velar por la compañia. Tambien que la comprende, una chica de 16 años, que acaba de perder a su padre, que no puede sustitir a su padre pero que la deja llorar hasta que quiera. Y asi se quedan abrazados. Al dia siguiente Nanami va corriendo para el teatro porque llega tarde pero por el camino ve a Kondo con el director del otro teatro, el oponente de Jin.

ENGLISH SUMMARY

Jin decides to do 'the beauty and the beast' and as the script is kinda old, to make some changes. He gives the roles to the actors and Nanami must do the cat's role. The beauty role would be done by Yukiko, the same actress as the previous year. Nanami is a bit disapponinted at first, but she decides to do her best and starts chasing a cat and studying its movements. So when Jin arrives home finds her imitating the cat. He stares at her for a moment and then enters and tells her to read a script. It's the role of the Beauty. She is surprised and asks him why does he want her to do it as she has the cat's part. But Jin doesnt pay attention and ask her to read. Then she reads it and meanwhile Jin is thinking in new changes, due to Nanami's performance, and then he re-writes the script. They spends the whole night reading, performing and re-writing. Next morning, at the company, Jin announces that there is going to be a doble cast for the Beauty's role, Nanami and Yukiko. Yukiko is very angry and the rest of actors quite surprised. So Nanami starts playing Beauty. Yukiko talks to Kondo (who has the Beast's role) and then he refuses to act with Nanami. The first rehearsal begins and Yukiko plays her role as perfect as she had done it a year ago and everybody thinks so, even Nanami, who then begins to doubt but Yuki encourages her. When Nanami begins to act, a few moments later, Jin stops her and ask her to leave the stage to talk to him, but she confronts him and goes on performing. Everyone is very surprised about her performing because it's nothing like the other Beauty, and also because of her feelings and how she showes them. Suddenly Kondo appears (the beast) and the performance stops. Kondo begins to say a lot of bad things about Nanami and her performance, and how Jin says nothing while she's ruining the everything, the play and the company. Jin finally agrees but ends in a fight with Kondo till Yuki appears and stops it. Yuki takes Jin and Nanami to Jin's house and leaves. Nanami weeps because she doesnt know how to play her role, because it seems nobody liked her performance before. Then Jin says he couldnt congratulate her on it before, in front of everyone, because he must care for the company. Also says that he understands her, a 16 years old girl, whose father has just died, he says he cannot be her father but that she can weep as long as she wants to. And they remain hugged. The next day, Nanami is running to the theatre, because she's late, and then sees Kondo talking to the other company's director, Jin's opponent.

RESUMEN ESPAÑOL

El sueño de Nanami es ir a Tokio y estudiar en la escuela de danza clasica. Su padre no esta de acuerdo porque piensa que puede estudiar tambien en su ciudad natal. Al comienzo de la historia, Nanami esta ensayando y esperando su turno para una representacion. Espera que su padre venga a verla y recuerda una conversacion con el en la que le dice que por favor le traiga un ramo de violetas si quiere que vaya a Tokio, que si no, ni se moleste e traerle flores. En esto que aparece un chico que se cruza con ella, ambos se quedan mirandose un rato.
Le toca salir a ella. Su familia esta preocupada porque el padre aun no ha llegado a pesar de que le dijo que iria. Ahora se ve el padre entrando en el edificio, llegaba tarde porque no encontraba el ramo de violetas. Al padre le da un ataque al corazon y el chico de antes, que estaba hablando por telefono cerca, va a ayudarlo. El padre intenta hablar y finalmente le dice que por favor le entregue el ramo a su hija. Asi pues el chico va a buscar la sala y ve la representacion de Nanami, que en este momento esta en plena actuacion. El compañero de Nanami tropieza y se cae y ella preocupada se acerca y empieza a hablarle. El compañero pensando que ha estropeado todo sale corriendo del escenario y a ella le dicen que haga lo mismo. Pero ella se resiste, y sigue su interpretacion de la obra, una marioneta, y hace una actuacion tan brillante que salva la obra y hasta el chico (que luego sabremos quien es) se queda asombrado. Cuando termina, va hacia ella, le da el ramo de flores y le dice lo que le ha pasado al padre y que vaya al hospital.
Cuando Nanami llega el padre ya ha muerto, y la madre le dice que sus ultimas palabras fueron 'deja que vaya a Tokio'.

A los 10 dias de la muerte del padre, se presentan en su casa unas personas. Lo primero que ella piensa cuando se lo dicen es en el chico que conocio en el teatro, pero no es el. Sin embargo estas personas le ofrecen una beca para ir a Tokio a estudiar con todo pagado. Ella lo rechaza sin mas, aunque le gustaria, se siente culpable por la muerte de su padre. Piensa que si no hubiera sido por su capricho de ir a estudiar a Tokio su padre seguiria vivo. Una de estas personas, Yuki, al final la convence que es lo que su padre hubiera querido, si no por que le hubiera llevado el ramo de violetas al teatro. Asi pues ella acepta y finalmente va a Tokio.

Nada mas llegan, va a la compañia a ver a Jin, el director, que va a ser su tutor. Y quien es Jin sino el chico que conocio en el teatro!. Nada mas la ve, la presenta a toda la compañia, les dice que es la ultima adquisicion y que va a ser la actriz principal de su obra Marionette II. Ella se queda sorprendida y dice que ella no va a ser actriz sino que va a asistir a la academia de danza. Jin le da un guantazo, y le dice que ella va a ser actriz, ella cuando sale de su asombro, le responde y le pega a el. El que no puede quedarse asi, le vuelve a pegar. Ella no da credito a lo que ha pasado. Jin es un hombre frio y cruel. Le dice un monton de cosas para herirla. Yuki (el chico que la trajo a Tokio, y que es la mano derecha de Jin) aparece y se la lleva para que descanse. Y donde esta alojada sino en casa de Jin!? Cuando escucha que Jin se ha llegado, ella ya tiene decidido que quiere irse. Sale a ventana para escapar y ahi la encuentra Jin, al borde del edificio, congelada. Ella le dice que no se acerque o caera, que esta paralizada y que solo quiere volver a casa. Jin se adelanta y la abraza cuando parecia que ella iba a caer, y accede, le dice que se marcha a casa. Le dice a Yuki que reserve un billete que mañana mismo se va.

Al dia siguiente, cuando van a salir para el aeropuerto, Yuki llega y dice que el vuelo se ha cancelado, y ella, pensandolo un momento, decide quedarse, pero con la condicion de que pueda ir a la escuela de danza. En realidad ella queria quedarse porque Jin, a pesar de como es, le atrae y quiere saber mas de el.

Asi Nanami se presenta otra vez en la compañia, y al faltar una de las actrices, Jin le dice que tome su puesto y recite. Ella empieza y todos se quedan asombrados, Jin le sonrie. Luego le pide que haga unos saltos y giros y ahi es cuando empiezan a discutir, porque ella no los hace tal cual él los quiere, y él le dice que la danza la ha limitado. Ella se niega a creerlo. Mas tarde en la escuela de danza ella se da cuenta de lo que le ha pasado en la interpretacion y decide que no le va a volver a pasar.

Asi pues, vuelve a ir a la compañia de Jin y se ofrece a hacer de mesa en una de las escenas. Jin, aunque reticente al principio, luego accede pero le dice que ni se le ocurra mover un pelo. Una vez mas todos se quedan asombrados de Nanami. En esto que llega un hombre y le dice a Jin, que su oponente, va a hacer una representacion de 'su' Marioneta esta noche. El no puede creerlo, le han robado su obra. Asi que hecho una furia, se va para ir al teatro y destrozarle la representacion. Nadie quiere ir con el, pues antes eran todos actores de ese otro teatro. Nanami es la unica que se acerca y le dice a Jin que ella ira. Jin y Nanami van al teatro y ven la representacion. Jin se deprime y piensa que esta Marioneta es mejor que la suya. Mientras el otro director intenta que Nanami se vaya con el, hasta le da un ramo de flores. Cuando ella intenta devolverselo, en el escenario, el la coge y la sube. Jin va hacia el y le da un puñetazo.
De vuelta al teatro de Jin, este decide cancelar la obra, pero como tenian contratado un año de teatro, decide representar alguna obra vieja y que va a darle una parte a Nanami, la cual se sorprende.

Y FIN, del primer tomo. Al final me ha quedado un 'muy' extenso resumen. Espero que os guste. Y si quereis ver los scans, mirad la ficha, ya sabeis.

ENGLISH SUMMARY

Nanami's dream is to go to Tokyo and study at the classical dance accademy. His father doesnt agree because he thinks she can also study where they live. At the beginning of the story, she's practising and waiting for her turn in the performance. She hopes her father comes and thought of an argument they had, she asked him for a bouquet of violets, if he wants to let her go to Tokyo and if not, not to bring her any flowers. Suddenly a guy appears and they look at each other for a moment.
It's finally her turn. Meanwhile her family is worried because the father hasnt arrived yet, when he said he would go. The father is entering the building when he has a heart attack, and the guy from before, who was near, goes to help him. The father asks him to please give the bouquet to her daughter and he agrees. The guy goes to see the performance. Nanami's partner falls to the ground and she, worried, goes near and talks to him. The partner thinks she has ruined the performance and flees, leaving her all alone. She is also told to leave, but she refuses and goes on performing the marionette, and does such an excellent performance that saves the performance and the guy is ashtonished. When she finishes, the guy approaches her and gives her the bouquet from her father, and tells her what has happened and to go to hospital. When she arrives, her father has already died.

10 days later, she is informed she has some guests. Her first thought is about the guy from the theatre, but it's not him but a couple of men, to inform her that she has been granted to go to Tokyo to study at the dance accademy. Though she would like to accept, she refuses, she feels guilty about her father's death. One of those men, Yuki, talks to her and makes her see that her father would have liked her to go to Tokyo, because if not, why did he bring her violets? So she finally agrees and decides to go to Tokyo.

As soon as they arrive, they go to Jin's company, the director and her future tutor. And who is Jin but the guy she met at the theatre? When he sees her there, he introduces her to all the company and tells them she's going to be an actress. But she confronts him and tells him she's going to study at the dance accademy that she doesnt want to be an actress. He slaps her, she slaps him, and he slaps her again. She cant belives what has happened. Jin is a cold and cruel man. He tells her a lot of things she didnt want to hear. Yuki (the guy who took her to Tokyo, and Jin's right hand) takes her to rest. And where is she living now? at Jin's house. When he arrives and she learns about it, she only wants to leave. She goes out through the window and there is where Jin finds her, near the edge of the building, frozen and about to fall. She tells him not to approach or she would fall. When it seems she's going to really fall, Jin steps and embraces her. And agrees, she would go first thing in the morning. He asks Yuki to book a flight for the next day.

The next day, when they're going to leave for the airport, Yuki arrives and tells them that the flight has been cancelled due to the snow storm, and Nanami, thinking for a moment, decides to stay, but only if she's allowed to go to the dance accademy. In reality, she wanted to stay, because of Jin, she is attracted to him, in spite of his behaviour, and she wants to know more about him.

Nanami goes to Jin's company once again and performs a scene, everyone is amazed, but when she's asked to jump and turn, she cant do it the way Jin wants her to and then he tells her dance has limited her movements. At dance accademy she realizes what has happened to her and decides to do it better next time. So, once again at Jin's company she asks him for a 'table' role, and he agrees but warns her she cant move an inch. Once there, a man comes and informs Jin that his opponent is going to perform 'his' Marionette that very night. He's out of himself, he cant believe it and decides to go and try to ruin the performance. Nobody wants to accompany him because they all were actors from that other company, but then Nanami joins Jin and tells him she would accompany him. Both them leave and go to the other theatre. Jin is depressed because he realizes that Marionette is better than his. Meanwhile the other director tries to lure Nanami into his company and even gives her a bouquet of flowers. When she tries to give it back he takes her to the stage and then Jin goes to him and punches him.
Once at Jin's theatre, he decides to cancell the performance, but the actors remind him that they have booked the theatre for a year, so finally he decides to perform an old play, and that Nanami would be also in. She is surprised.

Imagenes: otra rareza...

Aqui tenemos hoy otra joyita de las que se encuentran en las subastas japonesas. Toda una sorpresa.

As we have many foreing visitors, I think that from now on I will be also writting all messages in English so you can understand, and remember you can always leave messages.

Today we have another 'rare' jewel, that can be found in japanese auctions. It has been a great surprise.
