« Le typhon approche. Il fonce tout droit… sur moi ». Voix de la nature et silence de l’homme, une promesse de concorde dans l’œuvre d’Igarashi Daisuke

The mangaka Igarashi Daisuke presents an illustrated work where confrontation with nature always prevailed. He depicts it simultaneously through daily life scenes and important upheavals, with elements from the fantasy genre and attention to realism. Natural hazards may still look mysterious and inexplicable through their manifestations to the senses. The author feels concerned by this feeling and wishes to sustain this possibility of wonder. Then, his dramatic work tends to appreciate all the sensory ressources of our environment and transcribe them as messages of its perpetual movement. Beyond plastic and narrative opportunities of manga, Igarashi Daisuke strives to support his visual work with numerous references to sounds, in order to develop the rhythm of his stories. Also, this sonorous writing is a second way of suggesting a listening position and a real dialog with natural environments, in order to better understand them.
