Cat's Papers (524) Author Overview ② - Saito Chiho (Saito Chiho)

Picking up from the previous article, "Shinohara Chie's Overview", another female manga writer who appeared in the mainland market in the same period as Shinohara Chie is Saito Chiho, and these two authors should be considered the girl's manga enlightenment for a generation, and they are often compared to each other in every aspect, so I have them next to each other in my bookcase.

Speaking of her, the first thing I want to say is that the name translation, in the end, "Saito Chiho" or "Saito Chiho", with what all, Da Ran, Chang Hong, Dong Li, the tip of a variety of nonsense, and even the Dong Li themselves for a while this moment! That, Saito - Saito , the traditional Chinese characters are really indistinguishable, look too similar. When I was a child, I read the D version of the D version is the Da Ran version = Saito Chiho, so I also habitually called "Saito", and then bought more new books, Chang Hong's books are all "Saito", called "Saito Chiho! "It is also quite familiar.

The reason for this problem is that the author's name さいとう ちほ does not have kanji and can only be translated. But I still don't get it. You said the translation is also phonetic, not a "form translation", and although the two characters look alike, they are pronounced completely differently, so how on earth could they be confused? I remember the name "Saito Ichi" from "Wanderer Kenshin" as "Saito Ichi"... but I think it's also called "Saito Ichi"... anyway, it's just a random name now.

To see how old an author's work is, you have to look at how many of her books have been published in the Dairan edition. ...... After all, the closure of Dairan Publishing House is a clear line of demarcation, and anything Dairan has published is a work that came out before that line, which has resulted in a lot of the Dairan edition's "severed head".

Anything that Dauran has ever produced is from before that line, and that has resulted in many "cut-off" Dauran editions.

Like Shinohara Chie's previous works 1-6, and the short story "Rush to Escape" were all published by Dairan at the very beginning (I'm really glad that the publisher closed down before finishing "The Sky is the Bank of the Red River", or else this long story would have been cut off...), and the D-versions that we watched as kids (which are of better quality) were all reprints of the Dairan version, so I miss the translations and the transliterations. I'm not sure how much I miss the translations, but I'm sure I'm going to miss them.

Chiho Saito Dairan has published just as many books ...... so her early works can simply be differentiated into "works that Dairan published and no other publisher has since picked up" and " works that Dairan published and then a Publishers re-published works "," the former is mostly early short stories, the latter is mostly later painting style matured some, classic some of the long.

Early works Part.A (only Da Ran version):

One, two: Couple Square ? A dream of purple flower love seems to be a pure romantic drama

Three: Angel's Seal ? Angels and Demons Fantasy with wings on the heroine's back?

Four: The Lovers' Foal ? A sculpture of a fated X-cornered love that spans generations, a horse

V: Butterfly Dreams Ballet ? I like it because it's a drawing ballet theme~

Six, Seven: Silver Wolf ? Angel's Smile. Devil's tears These two books are the only two large open book, and the quality of the work is very good, there are colorful pages, the content of the Takarazuka opera "Silver Wolf" and "Turandot" and so on, the plot is weak, the picture is beautiful!

Eight: Saito Chiho masterpiece collection 1-7

The most important of these seven books is the seventh, because it is a round dance series of extra (after the details), in addition to the "Knight Prince" and "Prince of the Empire" is connected, and then think about a dance (waltz), an opera are like the subject matter, forget it, return to the package pile or all collected it, short story collection is so sold out. ╮(╯▽╰)╭?

Early works Part.B (new edition after the closure of Daren) :

After the closure of Daren Publishing House, many of the old works of copyright was "divided", many works out of the new edition.

For example, the three "Toryu Red" books, which were also on special offer, as were the "Little Round Childhood Three" books (which are getting more and more abbreviated...).

Nine: another puppet doll ?

Ten: the beauty of the flower crown

These two are also childhood memories of the super classic! Almost and "small circle 3" a period of time, when I was a child to see Daran translation named "ballet doll" and "flower crown Angel".

Some of the later early short stories were published in D version, but I remember that after the popularity of these two books and the fame of the authors, some of the D version dealers went back to publish.

The most surprising thing is that these two Torys were reprinted this year! Surprisingly reprinted! Certain Tmall stores still have activities, cheaper than I bought 10 years ago, to buy hurry.

Eleven: Green Apple Labyrinth

The original called "deep love Angel", obviously followed the "flower crown Angel" translation, early short, smack.

Twelve: the top lady

There is also a "Dong Li Hong" works, although not Da Ran out of the past, it is said here together.

I remember the first time I watched it, it was called "Blue Tango", but it wasn't translated by Da Ran, so maybe the D-licensee had already moved on from the Taiwanese version and started translating the latest work themselves.

The plot ...... is a bit like Shin X Makoto's "Bully X Man", with elements of hey-do (wu-suit organization?). , take by force, like each other, tango.

It's also more disliked because it's been out of print for years and I haven't come across a book in particularly good condition, so I didn't take it in.

Now it's time to start talking about the works that Cutting Edge has taken over. ...... Cutting Edge's books are characterized by one thing: Super. The first is that it's a very good idea to have a good time with the book. Super. The first is that it's a great book, and the second is that it's a great book.

Now, let's get down to what PointCorp has taken over!

I don't know what the Tip is up to, but it feels like the print run was so small + never reprinted, that it's a rarity on the market. For example, in the used book market, you can see 10 sets of Duran's Maiden Revolution, but not 1 set of the cutting-edge edition.

The Deep White Mulan + White Waltz + Lilac in Love set is one I've never seen anyone have. I don't think I've ever seen the cutting edge "Flower Sound" either.

Thirteen: White Round Dance (White Waltz)

Fourteen: White Mulan Round Dance (Deeply Affectionate White Mulan)

Fifteen: Lilac Nocturne (Love in the Lilacs)

Firmly do not mention the plot, the book report time to say, otherwise it is endless again.

In all of Saito's works, this "Round Dance Series" should be the overall ranking of the top few, but the tip is not reprinted!

And then it reprinted an unbelievable one that I couldn't have guessed 100 times - the 7-book series "The Unexpected Sexuality" ...... The girl in the buying group said "I think it's bundled with "The Dream Game". I think it's a good idea to bundle it with "The Dream Game" and force it to come out!

Sixteen: Girls Revolution + Extra

Although I do not know why, the animation of this year's fire, I even finished watching ......

Seventeen: Finding the Princess (Mistress of the Good) (Anastasia Club Anastasia Club アナスタシア倶楽部)

This is the first time that I've seen this anime, and it's a good one.

This is another familiar (and favorite) story, with "the last Russian royal daughter + Halloween egg" as the key elements.

This time, I checked the Japanese version, and found out that "Girl's Revolution" and "Searching for the Princess" each have a sequel! Someone please introduce it!

Eighteen: Flower Sound

This one really turned the worldview upside down ...... book report time to say.

Because it is a music theme is still a little like, coupled with Saito's gorgeous painting style, beautiful, I remember I have no idea where to put it.

Changhong said: I also want to make a scene, so Changhong out of two short + a long "love story", and two sets of short stories are 36k replaced with 32k.

Nineteen: Masked Lady (Peach Mask) The plot is really not good! I can still remember the general plot, smacked me to death, so Changhong version of my 15 a book out that year...that's what yawns...what can I do if I only have two books to keep!

XX: Thousand Nights Story (Thousand Nights Key)

? As the title suggests, it's a collection of short stories related to "keys" (键), and the main character of this collection is actually a black cat! My favorite black cat! (

Twenty-one: Love Story

This is a collection of short stories related to love, some of which I didn't like, but some of which I did! Plus, there are extras from "Crown of Flowers" and the "Round Dance Series" that make it a must-have!

Changhong and Dairan editions compared back to the book newspaper to shoot again

Finally, it is the turn of Dairan has not been published, that is, the newer works, just Dairan before the already more than 20 works you can believe!

Now Saito's works are mainly Dongli and Changhong more, first Kadokawa these two books said

Twenty-two: the world of S&M

Kadokawa said: I'm going to get together, and so ...... it really got together

With paper and white and hard, but only Two seemingly crappy works ......

It feels like after those three works, Changhong kinda loved Saito, and most of the new works were published by Changhong.

Twenty-three: Black Cat's Love Affair

A short book, Black Cat I praise!

XXIV: Dancing a Beautiful Life

4 books finished, ballet theme I praise!

Twenty-five: Pushkin's Angels + extras

Pushkin theme, had seen the beginning serialized in the "New Trunk", was attracted, the plot is a little ... emm ... still point praise.

Twenty-six: Ice Mori Maiji

Anyway, the figure skating theme is still to praise ah!

XXVII: Reversal of the Dragon and Phoenix

Adapted from a classic Japanese work on the theme of "twins switching genders", Choharu finally revised the spine of the book, which is even more difficult to read ......

The same original book as Naomitsu Yamauchi's "The Deep Palace of Love".

And Yamauchi Naomitsu's work "Deep Palace" is the same original adaptation, so it will be a little bit like.

About the introduction of the original - the posting is very detailed I will not say.

About the plot of the spit - Zhihu wrote too well I think the book report on the time to not write.

It feels like Tohato still hasn't given up on Saito, and has been putting out an occasional book, and the number of books don't feel like much, even the Kaguya biography that's coming out is only 5.

Twenty-eight: type male lover

Listen to the name on ...... why so thin also published?

Twenty-nine: The Viscount's Dangerous Liaisons

Thirty: VS Arsene Robbin

The stage is the bustling Paris of the late century to the beginning of the twentieth century, a gentleman wearing a silk bowler hat wearing a tuxedo and a long cape, who is sometimes an old man and sometimes middle-aged and sometimes a woman, and who has a lot of changes in the face of freedom, wherever he goes to come and go as he pleases, and he is acting in a style of magnificence and boldness, a strange gentleman. He is the famous Arsene Robbin. He is the famous Arsene Robbin.

Thirty-one: Kaguya biography

Serialized, again Kaguya Hime theme ......

I finally know why I'm so tired of writing - not counting, a count shocked - there are more than 30 works! -surprisingly, there are more than 30 works! Exactly twice as many as Kotarou! And this count is about the same, how many shorts does she really have ......

Thinking about it the reason why I collected all of Kotarou's works but didn't have a strong desire to collect Saito's was also because she had so many early shorts that some of them felt rather chicken. And Xiao Yuan debut work "Red Legend" even with the eyes of the present, the style of painting I also like, and soon serialized "Magic Shadow Purple Light" direct long, almost no intermediate transition stage.

Saito early such as "Couple Square", "Purple Flower Love Dream", "Angel's Seal" have seen as a child, and now almost can not remember probably pure love, early painting style is more youthful, and did not come out of the new version of the book is relatively old, if there is no childhood memories to support, there is no need to must be collected. "Deep Angel" and "Peach Mask", "Top Lady" is a personal dislike of the plot do not want to stay. A couple of the new shorts are yet to be judged.

Even so, there are more than 20 titles that I want to keep! Saito is so good at drawing, always choosing something - theater, music, ballet, figure skating, fairy tales or classical adaptations - these are my favorite subjects ah! How can you not take it when the drawing style is so gorgeous and beautiful when it matures, and when there are childhood memories to add to the mix!

After organizing all the double rows, there is still a little bit of empty space in two compartments, two compartments of small circle and two compartments of Saito~

At this time, we need to put a work that has been finished and will not be continued, the author has only collected one work with no other related books for the time being, and the rating of A or above is worthy of a place in the front row of the cabinet. - works to temporarily plug the gap ~

In the hand of the better looking choice of "Falling Words" and "Takadai Family", but I think "Takadai Family" can not stay for a few days, because the "Flower Sound" "White Circle Dance" has not yet been found ...... "Arsene Robin" and Kaguya's Tale follow soon ...... Not enough room still need to come across the third row.

Lastly, Xiao Yuan and Chiho's 3 books of drawings were introduced in mainland China in 2003! Now it seems to be a miracle, thanks to Jilin Fine Arts Publishing House. Advertisements: Some treasure is still in stock!

Because this collection contains the full-color extra 18P (the story of Odagiri and Hiroshi), all those who bought the book should get a copy of it~
