Dark Horse Comics releases a graphic novel about one of the most valuable pop-culture in all of Japan is Vocaloid’s Hatsune Miku.
This time, the graphic novel is more different than the other sequels from every bookstore that you can find. Hatsune Miku: Acute tells is actually based on the original song by KurousaP/ Whiteflame from Youtube and NicoNico videos, and it was illustrated by Shiori Asahina.
To be fair, this graphic novel tells a tragic love story with two girls who fell in love with a boy with a tragic life of his parents’ death. However, it became a love triangle right after Luka kissed Kaito when he was a college student. The story is more like a love story but it’s also more like a yandere story where Miku was being betrayed by Luka after she kissed Kaito. Well, the rest of it didn’t make any sense, because I’m not really a fan of love stories. I find it really absurd for me to know all these things in the first place. But the thing is that Vocaloids have one thing is to sing their songs which were programmed by some Japanese composers. Kaito was an orphan because his father committed suicide after losing his job at some company and killed his wife because of that. He was lonely until he with young Luka and Miku at the orphanage. They both treated Kaito like family because he wants to have a better life without their parents. His problems began to grow after he kissed Luka and Miku from time to time, he actually felt guilty because somehow he actually betrayed the one who truly loved. Miku was being obsessed with her revenge on Luka because she broke her promise to Miku, then she actually began to stab Kaito along with herself for such a foolish decision to be together. And at the end, both of them are still alive lying at the hospital just for them to open their minds.
I find it absurd with the love triangle story, but after reading that manga based out of a song from the Japanese composers, I think that it’s a decent story to read. However, the thing about Vocaloids is that most of them are programmed to make songs and sing it together, and Japanese programmers make more videos of them singing over a decade. It’s really dramatic after reading this manga, even if it tells a story based on a song, but the story is nothing but BS, and the art was very decent to tell the story of the two girls and an orphan, I do want to know who is Shiori Asahina and her illustrations. If you’re a fan of Hatsune Miku and the other Vocaloids, I would suggest reading this manga because somehow you’ll find any difference to the song and the story.
