感染症とのたたかい

みなさまご無事でしょうか。
だいぶ感染者数も落ち着いてきたように思いますが、このまま終息を迎えられたら嬉しいですね。

おはようございますアトリエ高階の山野にわとりです。

もちろん感染症というのは絶えないもので、宿命的に人類はこれらと戦い続けなきゃならないのでしょう。

それでも、今現在の日本の状況というのは感染症にたいして、歴史上最強なんじゃないかと思うんですよね。

衛生状態が世界最強(いやマジで)。

経済格差の少なさ(世界比)。

識字率の高さ(世界比)。

医療の充実(民間レベルでの高さ)。

その結果の国民の栄養状態の良さ。

島国ゆえに、水際対策は有効です。
が、さりとて何も入れないわけにはいかないというのは弱点にもなりますが。


人類史上、ここまで感染症を抑え込める状態を実現した国はないんじゃあないかな。


現在制作中の、高階先生の自伝的作品なのですが、戦後間もなくの頃、まだ幼かった先生が「ジフテリア」で死にかけたというエピソードがあります。

子供のかかりやすい感染症で、今でこそワクチンなどあり、日本ではまず発生しないのですが、戦後ですと普通に死ねる恐ろしい病気です。
栄養状態が良くないのでかかりやすいし、悪化しやすいのです。ワクチンも当時は普及が十分ではないし。

先生は何とか助かりましたが、本当に病気にとられなくてよかった…。

でもこの病気、今では日本で起こらなさ過ぎて、経験のある医師が居なくてそれはそれで心配なのだそうです。


コロナなどもこのまま終息させて、「やっぱ日本は感染症に強いな~」ってニヤニヤしたいですね。



さて本日のイラストは『蛭子』。

My favorite manga

Considered by some to be the heir to the throne of Dragon Ball in terms of Japanese market penetration, One Piece is certainly a phenomenon. The manga's print run recently outpaced Dragon Ball and the series, at more than 130 episodes, is still going strong. It's easy to see why; One Piece follows a very simple and very successful shonen action formula. It worked in the past for Rurouni Kenshin and Dragon Ball and it's working wonderfully for One Piece. The premise is pretty basic. Luffy D. Monkey, an irrepressible youth, ate the Devil's Fruit, which gave his body extra-strength elasticity. He's searching for the One Piece, a legendary treasure that will make him the King of all Pirates and finally allow him to prove himself to his childhood idol, a selfless pirate by the name of Shanks. Along the way, he collects an army of somewhat freakish rogues, including a tough swordfighter named Zoro who fights with a sword in his mouth, and Nami, a spunky thief. Together they have wacky adventures, beat up the bad guys, and collect treasure. It all sounds pretty harmless, right?

Well, right, it is. One Piece is completely harmless entertainment. The battles can be surprisingly brutal at times, but overall, this is pure shonen action entertainment. It is entirely unpretentious and knows exactly what it wants to be, and excels at that. That having been said, One Piece is not a particularly deep show, although the characters are well developed. The focus seems to be on the crazy villains and the endless string of fights the main characters go through. Luffy and his crew of misfits go from town to town, saving the repressed masses and eliminating evil pirates who stand between them and the One Piece. In some ways, it's very reminiscent of Rurouni Kenshin. Kenshin and Luffy are both laid-back badasses with hearts of gold that surround themselves with surprisingly capable outcasts and defeat circus freak-style enemies in episode after episode. If you like that sort of thing, One Piece delivers. If you don't, One Piece is going to bore the faith out of you.

So, for fans of formulaic action shows, One Piece is a well-animated bit of fluff that sports decent music and some well-done action scenes. Unfortunately, the bizarre character designs are sure to turn a lot of folks off. One Piece is not done in a traditional anime style. It's very unique and it's bound to rub some people the wrong way. Otherwise, if you like your anime rife with fight scenes that last several episodes, declaratory statements (“Ore wa Kaizokuo ni naru da!” or “I will become the Pirate King!” is Luffy's favorite thing to say...), screwball humor and a touch of originality, One Piece will not fail to please.
