Kaze to Ki no Uta Addicted. @noracocteau - Tumblr Blog

I found these images on Twitter, I don’t know where they came from (they were probably published in some kind of magazine), showing what kind of relationship the characters have with Serge and Gilbert. A cute curiosity is that Serge and Gilbert are on different pages, but a heart connects them, showing that they are the best couple!

I’ve found more images on the Internet! The first one is a cover of the magazine “June”, in a 1987 edition. Serge and Gilbert are beautiful in this image, and I don’t remember seeing them together in this pose during the manga.

I don’t know the origin of the second image, it is probably the cover of an artbook or magazine.

The third image is from a magazine, which places more emphasis on “Toward the Terra” (another work by Takemiya Keiko), but has some illustrations by Serge and Gilbert.

The fifth image is of a vinyl record of the Kazeki soundtrack (which, by the way, is very beautiful, I recommend listening on Youtube). The curious thing is that the title is in French, maybe the manga has been translated into another language besides Italian and Spanish.

And the last image is the cover of a notebook that was illustrated by Keiko Takemiya, it is a normal notebook with lined lines to write, it is only customized with the main characters.

Shounen no Na wa Gilbert

Did you know that there is a novel in which Keiko Takemiya tells about the biography of Kazeki? From its creation to production, telling about the work process and the context in which it was made.

You can read a review of this biography at this link here: https://brainvsbook.wordpress.com/2016/07/29/shonen-no-na-wa-gilbert-keiko-takemiya/

You can find out more about Keiko Takemiya’s journey as an artist, where his inspirations came from and how his career began. Quite interesting to read, and inspiring for those who want to work with something creative that is not taken too seriously.

There is also a video where the author talks about this specific book and even draws Gilbert, but it is in Japanese and without subtitles. However, even without understanding the language, it is worth checking out (mainly due to the drawing at the end).

Here is the link for the video: https://brickme.tumblr.com/post/142831071793/watch-takemiya-keiko-draw-gilbert-this-is-from

Thanks for reading, I hope this post was useful ~

Kaze to Ki no Uta’s Old and Rare Pictures

I’ve found those pictures on Instagram, thanks to the user yini_travel for sharing it. They were probably painted in 1981 and published on Magazine “Animage”.

Maybe the painter is 安彦 ( Yasuhiko) and 椋尾 ( Mukuo) who are as old as 竹宫 (Takemiya).

Look at Gilbert, here. He's so small. Look at his body language. There is none of his usual grace. None of his glamour. None of his arrogance. None of his sexuality. There is only paralysing fear, as he realises what's about to happen to him. A child, frozen in fear, completely vulnerable, utterly alone, with no one to hear, no one to help, locked with a demon in a dark room. I believe this might just be the truest depiction of Gilbert there is, the real Gilbert, that exists behind his façade of coping mechanisms, his attitude, his hypersexuality; the panel is like a microcosm of his soul. He was not a "little devil". He was a scared, hurt kid. One of the elements that help make this particular illustration so horrifying, so revolting, is how it clashes with the usual style of the manga. Most of the manga is drawn is its particular dreamy way I love so much, ethereal and idealized, all dramatic poses, allegoric representations, framing flowers, and furniture prettier than I could ever hope to be. But this particular part is awfully realistic in the body language of the characters: The way Auguste is so depravedly, predatorily hunched over Gilbert, the way the poor boy is pressed against the wall in fear, so tiny, so vulnerable. My god, he really was just a child! It's maddening. I didn't want to keep reading, to turn the page. To me, it didn't feel like an illustration, it felt like a photo. It actually made my skin crawl. That Gilbert has the ending he gets, that there is no recovery, or even justice for him, it bothers me so much. Too much. I feel like trash. It bothers me so much that it feels inadequate, considering how much injustice and pain there really is, happening in the real world. But I digress. I'll just congratulate Madam Takemiya on her work again, and leave it at that. Anyway, I couldn't sleep. It wasn't just Kazeki this time, but it sure as hell did its part. So, after a polite amount of tossing and turning, I got back up, and got a bit too into Kazeki again. Anyway, I'm actually feeling a touch of sleepiness, right now. I should be passing out soon, thankfully. I hope I don't remember any dreams I might have.
