Download or read book Demon City Shinjuku written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and published by Digital Manga, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-09-01 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The time is the first decade of the twenty-first century. The place is Tokyo, Japan – specifically, the ward known as Shinjuku. An 8.5 earthquake shatters Shinjuku, destroying buildings and streets and turning the bustling ward into a haunted ghost town plagued by the paranormal and the bizarre. Scientists and ESP investigators – along with criminals, enterprising yakuza gangs and mutant cyborgs – come to “Demon City”; some to study the effects of the Devil Quake, others to commit heinous acts of savage violence, and still others to live freely in this lawless town on the edge of the abyss. This is the world of Demon City Shinjuku and how it all began. It is now 2030 and President Kozumi Rama of the World Federation is attacked by an otherworldly demon – Reba Ra, an evil sorcerer of immense power. The only person who can stop Ra is yogi Master Agni Rai’s former apprentice, Genichiro Izayoi – but Genichiro is dead. His son, Kyoya Izayoi, a high school student and the inheritor of Izayoi’s killer nenpo martial arts technique, now enters Shinjuku to try to stop Sorcerer Ra from unleashing the ultimate horror in Demon City. The fate of Shinjuku – and the rest of the world – hangs in the balance. The story of Demon City Shinjuku continues in Demon Palace Babylon, included in this special two-volume complete edition. Acclaimed Japanese horror writer Hideyuki Kikuchi (Vampire Hunter D) established the Wicked City universe with his debut novels Demon City Shinjuku and Demon Palace Babylon. Discover the origins of Dr. Mephisto and the Yashakiden: The Demon Princess series in this new English-language omnibus edition!
Download or read book International Noir written by Pettey Homer B. Pettey and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2014-11-11 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following World War II, film noir became the dominant cinematic expression of Cold War angst, influencing new trends in European and Asian filmmaking. International Noir examines film noir's influence on the cinematic traditions of Britain, France, Scandinavia, Japan, Hong Kong, Korea, and India. This book suggests that the film noir style continues to appeal on such a global scale because no other cinematic form has merged style and genre to effect a vision of the disturbing consequences of modernity. International noir has, however, adapted and adopted noir themes and aesthetic elements so that national cinemas can boast an independent and indigenous expression of the genre. Ranging from Japanese silent films and women's films to French, Hong Kong, and Nordic New Waves, this book also calls into question critical assessments of noir in international cinemas. In short, it challenges prevailing film scholarship to renegotiate the concept of noir. Ending with an examination of Hollywood's neo-noir recontextualization of the genre, and post-noir's reinvigorating critique of this aesthetic, International Noir offers Film Studies scholars an in-depth commentary on this influential global cinematic art form, further offering extensive bibliography and filmographies for recommended reading and viewing.
