Sommaire
A combination horror story and re-telling of the mythologies of the American South, "Me and the Devil Blues" features RJ, a man who sells his soul to the devil in exchange for the devil teaching him to play the blues. The story features many elements familiar to American readers but not much featured in Japanese comics, including the practice of lynching and the sharp racial divisions in the south around the time of the story.

Ore to Akuma no Blues review
It's after the civil war, the black people of America had been emancipated from their treatment as slaves, officially that is. But in the South, where this story takes place, racial discrimination is alive, healthy and well. RJ, an African-American farmer, has lived with his wife, sister and brother-in-law for years; living as a farmer never really suited him, his passion was for music: the Blues. But unfortunately, he couldn't play a tune to save his life. Well, until he heard about a myth...
Excellent, the story is excellent. Twists that will leave you reeling, characters with strong personalities and eye-candy illustrations: it was like watching a movie, an extremely good one that you will never find in a million years (human ones not dog ones). The characters were mouthwatering-ly complex, their emotions were understandable and logical. There was no pointless waterworks happening, everything had a time and place, everything was just as it should be and I was at peace with the world as I read in blissful joy. |
