Summary

This volume is the tenth installment of Daisuke Moriyama's science-fiction battle manga World Embryo (Japanese title: ワールドエンブリオ), whose Japanese edition bears the subtitle "Sensen," and was published by Shonen Gahosha in May 2013. The story takes place in a modern Japan surrounded by lies: Riku Amami, a cold sixteen-year-old high school student accustomed to lying, receives an email from Sister Amane, who was supposed to have died in a fire two years earlier. Following the photo of an abandoned hospital, he heads there and is drawn into a world beyond the everyday. There he meets Yohei Takebe and Rena Arisugawa, who wield weapons called Blade Banners against monsters known as Coffin Guardians, and picks up a mysterious cocoon from which hatches Nana, a girl identical to Amane as a child. The Coffin Guardians spread through cellphone signals and devour human memories, and the secret organization F.L.A.G. fights against them. As the infection spreads and various factions contend, Riku Amami, a boy who once protected himself only through lies, is gradually pushed to the center of battle and choice. This volume continues the attacks, defenses, and conspiracies of the preceding installments; the subtitle Sensen hints at declaration of war and infection advancing in tandem. The plot remains within the middle-to-later main storyline of the original thirteen-volume work, and readers need to have read the previous volumes to follow it smoothly.

Editor's review

如果你是从《摩登大法師》(即《圣枪修女》)认识森山大辅的读者,这套《救世之茧》会给你一种熟悉又更沉稳的味道:同样是少年被卷入超自然战争,但这次的对手更阴冷——怪物借手机信号传播,人一旦听到那段诡异的电流杂音就可能再也回不来。作品的看点不在单纯的打斗,而在于“谎言”与“记忆”:主角天海陆以说谎人的身份登场,却被迫在真假难辨的世界里建立信任;看似幼童的奈奈,则承载着身世与记忆的重重谜团。第10册已进入全十三册的后半程,人物关系与敌我阵线开始收束,前期埋下的伏笔陆续被点名,读起来颇有加速感。需要提醒的是,繁体中文版由长鸿代理,早期分册出版零散、流传有限,本册属于较难一见的中间卷,更适合已经入坑、想补齐书架的系列读者。

Reading tips

  1. 阅读前先回忆或快速翻看第9册结尾,理清 F.L.A.G. 与各柩姬阵营的当前立场。
  2. 留意“记忆”“棺守化”相关对白,这类信息在后半程剧情中往往是关键伏笔。
  3. 可配合日文版第10册副标题“宣染”理解本卷的攻防节奏,但不必强行剧透后文。
  4. 读完后记录尚未解开的谜题清单,再继续第11册,阅读体验会更连贯。

FAQ

这本是整套《救世之茧》还是其中一册? 这是《救世之茧》全十三册中的第10册,日文副标题为“宣染”,并非整套书。全套由森山大辅创作,日文版由少年画报社出版,繁体中文版由长鸿出版社代理。
第10册里大概讲了什么? 本册承接前文的攻防与阴谋,标题“宣染”指向宣战与感染同时推进的局面。具体分镜与章节内容因版本流传有限未能逐一核实,建议在读完前九册后衔接阅读。
没读过前面几册能直接看第10册吗? 不建议。本作围绕天海陆、奈奈、蕾娜与棺守之间的长线谜团展开,第10册已处于后半程,人物关系和阵营信息高度依赖前文,直接开读容易看不懂。

About the author

Daisuke Moriyama Author

Daisuke Moriyama is an author known mainly for manga creation. Public information about him is limited, and neither his dates of birth and death nor his nationality are clearly recorded. The library holds 13 of his works, the vast majority belonging to the World Embryo series, including volumes 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and 13. This series is therefore his most prominently represented work in the Chinese-language book market. His books are often classified under manga and cartoons, fantasy novels, premium fiction and children's literature. The subject matter tends toward serialized manga with fantastical elements, with the narrative unfolding gradually around the series' setting; the volume-by-volume publication also suits readers following the story book by book. Because verifiable information on his career, awards and mentors is very scarce, this introduction can only offer an objective description based on the works and categories in the library, without speculating about his personal experience. Readers who wish to learn about him should still take the works themselves as the main clue.
