Lychee Light Club Usamaru Furuya Books Reviews

It came in perfect condition, and was even a little bigger than I had hoped. <3
If you haven't read the two prequel graphic novels ahead of this tho, I wouldn't buy this book otherwise you will be very confused.
I bought this book for a friend who's into this series and it's a great buy for any ero-guro manga fan (of course, over the age of 18 because of the gore and sexual content). The book was well packaged, shrink wrapped, and came in a timely manner. It's pretty thick and big since it contains the entire oneshot, and there didn't seem to be any problems with how it was printed. I'm really surprised that there was an English translation of this!
WARNING This came from an erotic magazine, I don't recommend purchasing it for someone under 18 not only for the nudity ,but for the gore. Especially the first chapter which kind of made me uncomfortable. Also yes, there is gay sex scenes ,but aside from that this is not yaoi.

I liked the story alright ,but I wished there was more of it ,but sadly I haven't read the prequel yet (but thanks to TV Tropes I know the gist). But the real gem is the artwork since while the traditional way manga is drawn is fine, I really like the more realistic style of Junji Ito and the like. Sure some of it is gory and/or nude ,but even that's drawn pretty well.
this book was wrapped in plastic so when i opened it, so it had a horrible smell from the ink. they must've printed the book then wrapped it right away, they normally wrap manga's with adult content so i kinda expected it to be wrapped. all i need to do was just let the book sit out for a few hours then the smell was gone.
other than that, i enjoyed this book
This is Usamaru Furuya's manga respect to the play of same name, and also to Suehiro Maruo (who also starred in the original play, says the epilogue), if it wasn't desperately familiar with the Kato-like masques that fascist headgear can give, and the exploitation of childhood fantasy.

The story is a one-shot, so I won't spoil much. The sweetness Furuya can be known for is at play in the role of Lychee, a giant robot with a naive, almost "Iron Giant" sensibility and a body fueled by lychee fruit. The horror of Maruo is on display in the more or less cardboard cut-out characters of the underground club; they exist to drive home the thoughts and insecurities of the author(s) (societal critique alert?), not to push the story forward. Like filmmaker Guillermo Del Toro, Furuya seems to love the outsider and the grotesqueness of the unknown; the sympathetic monster is a reflection of the misunderstood side of budding adolescence and group think. Those familiar with Hideshi Hino or Hanakuma know the themes of basic exploitation enough to know what you're getting yourself into.

The story revolves around middle school drama and themes of alienation, fantasization, and of course the fetishization that is included in going to an all boys' school. The ideas presented vary from completely ridiculous to outright shadowing of Hollywood tropes. None of it really detracts from the chaos you came for, though none of it is original either.

Still, it's a classic among ero-guro fans, and I'm glad to have it in English, finally. Furuya's building up his American repertoire nicely with the folks at Vertical, and a (Japanese language) prequel is in the works! Buy this and show Vertical they need to translate that ASAP.
What do you get when you combine elements of the Lord of the Flies and Clockwork Orange, throw in some adolescent Japanese school boys and top it off with fruit? Give up? You get the Lychee Light Club of course! A disturbing and gruesome manga by Usamaru Furuya (Short Cuts and No Longer Human) which tells the sadistic tale of 9 junior high school students and the unimaginable lengths they go through to build a mechanical humanoid for the sole purpose of kidnapping young and beautiful girls. If this already sounds warped and perverse to you . . . keep in mind, this is just the beginning.

Enter Zera; the tyrannical, lipstick wearing, flamboyant leader of LLC. Zera rules his obscure sanctuary overlooking a lychee grove with complete and irrefutable dictatorship. His cynical subjects will do anything to appease their leader even if it means sacrificing a vital organ, torturing other humans or even slaughtering one another. But despite the shared adoration amongst his disciples, Zera knows there is one member of the club who could defy him at any moment. Thus spoke Zera, "among you, there is one who will betray me."

After the awakening of his mechanical creation, Zera christens his machine "Lychee"for the fruit which fuels his body. His sole mission in life is to kidnap beautiful maidens for the members of LLC. (What they do with the girls at that point is up for debate amongst the members but it usually ends in blood.) When Lychee abducts Kanon, an attractive and naïve student, the foundation of the club starts spiraling towards an erratic state of frenzy which will lead to death for anyone playing this sinister game of chess.

Tamiya, former leader of the group, now fully aware of Zera's manipulative and merciless ways, stands opposing his leader in hopes regaining his supremacy and liberating those caught in between. But with the rest of the LLC on Zera's side, it's not going to be easy for Tamiya to ascend on top. And what'll happen to Kanon when she awakens to find herself held captive with Lychee as her watcher? Can machines feel emotions or are they just instruments of humanity?

Lychee Light Club is not for the faintest of hearts and should be read at the reader's discretion. The scenes depicting rape and torture were hard to swallow, but are not as glorified as the death scenes. And trust me people; there is a lot of death in LLC. While the other characters go through an elaborate array of emotions, the main heroine seems to lack any real emotion even when she realizes her current situation. Instead she befriends Lychee, the very creature that kidnapped her, and teaches him hymns to bypass her time of solitude. On another note, the art itself is quite different from most other horror mangas and I mean that in a good way. Some members, including Zera himself, exude a somewhat effeminate quality that makes them look almost bishonen like. Lychee Light Club was a very different experience for me. If other horror mangas about monsters, ghastly ghouls or things that go bump in the night don't terrify you, try reading about pubescent boys with a secret society. You might not look at a lychee the same way again. . .
Lychee Light Club is very weird, and in a few places actually bad, but it's weirdly magnetic. Character is sparce, as well as motivation. However the art is exceptional. No one acts like a person and the only female character is basically a rock in a skirt, but the robots journey to being human is fun to watch.

Let me put it like this. I'm glad i read it, I cant really recommend it. As i said it draws you in pretty effectively and there are certain parts of horror and clever lines but there's just too many flaws. I guess if you turn your brain off it'd be fine though
