Bearing in mind that #Werewolf is NOT a game that is in any way to my taste, that could affect my enjoyment of #Gnosia considerably.

In some respects, there’s similarities in premise/set up here to both #TheyWere11 and #AstraLostInSpace but I doubting the sustainability of the premise here across a full season.

Fell in love with #theywere11 when I stumble across a copy on #laserdisc, I took a chance & pick it up. It’s a super fun “who done it” plot; looking forward to reading the #manga. Also got my copy of the #castlevaniadominuscollection. That will be fun to revisit.

#MangaMonday 58 “They Were 11” by Moto Hagio

This reads like a seventies space opera, unsurprisingly since it was originally published in 1975.

The story revolves around a group of ten candidates for a space academy doing a final practical exam aboard a drifting space ship, only to realize there are eleven of them. Suspicions run high, but they pass or fail as a group. There’s a hidden connection to the past and a subplot about gender identity. (I imagine the last would be written a little differently today, but I think it holds up fairly well.)

It’s a short story, and in the current digital release (Denpa) it has been paired with its sequel, “Horizon of the East, Eternity of the West,” to fill out a standard size volume.

This is an early work by Hagio, an extremely influential #manga creator and a certified Person of Cultural Merit. A ninety minute #anime adaptation was released in 1986. That even got an English dub and a DVD rerelease, but it is hard to find now.

The voice continues, “On the 53rd day, we will send a ship to pick you up…” Frou says, “53 days!” Tada responds, “Shh!” Panel 4: Shot of the cadets from below. The voice continues, “If you find yourself in a situation that requires urgent attention, press the emergency button. There is no other way to contact us.” Panel 5: Closeup of more controls. “We wish you all the best of luck.” Panel 6: Same shot, now silent. Panel 7: Long shot of the group.

Now what’re we supposed to do when there’s an extra person among us?! Seriously! There’s one too many of us!” Panel 9: Closeup of Gangias saying, “Then should we press the emergency button and fail everyone?”Cover of “They Were 11” by Moto Hagio Watercolor of Tada’s face, surrounded by full body images of ten other cadets.
