◎張沛元
The latest work from veteran manga artist Chikae Ide follows her common theme of romance and relationships, but “Poison Love” is quite different than her previous pieces.
(日本)資深漫畫家井出智香惠的最新力作,秉持其一貫的羅曼史與男女關係的主題,但(這部名為)「毒戀」(的漫畫)與其以往的作品大不相同。
First of all, it is based on a true story about a lovestruck woman in an international romance who gets swindled out of 75 million yen ($523,200).
首先,該作品是改編自真實故事,描述一名在跨國戀中被愛情沖昏頭的女子,被人騙走7500萬日幣(52萬3200美元)。
And secondly, the protagonists are Ide herself and a man she believed was Mark Ruffalo, the Hollywood actor who plays the Bruce Banner-Hulk character in the “Avengers” films.
其次,故事主人翁是井出本人,以及與一名她原以為是好萊塢男星馬克‧魯法洛的男子。魯法洛曾在「復仇者聯盟」系列電影中,扮演本名布鲁斯‧班纳的(漫威英雄)浩克。
Ide, 74, says she hopes her latest work, a confession of sorts, will help others avoid being scammed in online international romances.
74歲的井出說,希望她的最新力作或說告白,能協助其他人避免陷入國際網戀騙局。
