The original manga "Alice in the Dying Kingdom" is a monthly work that Aso Yulu started serialization in 2011. At the beginning, chasing the comics can be described as twists and turns, because the "Wang-like Sinicization Group" that originally sinicized this comic fell apart, resulting in no translation of the second half of this comic. But someone who is willing to translate really wants to kneel and thank, because this comic is really wonderful, a rare masterpiece. (Re-introduced to translation by station B this year, I really recommend everyone to take a look)
The original 100 episodes [the first episode of 87 episodes + the second episode of Retry 13 episodes] spent a lot of space telling the heart of the protagonist, but this real manga has only 8 episodes, and the plot has been compressed and edited a lot. It has the style of the original, but still Almost the soul of the original. This article focuses on explaining the differences in the plot, so readers who have not watched the show should watch it as appropriate.
1. The setting of the male protagonist and friends
In the manga, Arisu is a salted fish high school student with no dreams, doing nothing to escape reality. Mrs. Zhang is his classmate. Kanbe is a classmate from Arisu Elementary School, and he runs a tavern as his own boss.
The live-action male protagonist is an unemployed vagabond who plays games at home. Mrs. Zhang was a social animal, and Mr. Fang was a bartender in a tavern.
2. The place to enter the dying country
The manga is about sitting at the station in the early morning and seeing fireworks. The live-action version is going into Shibuya's toilet.
3. There is no such mobile phone in the original work
It may be because the comic is a work from 2011, although the month is updated... But the technology released in the drama version in 2020 has far exceeded the serialization period.
4. The game of Club 3 is different
The original Plum Blossom 3 is a lottery game in the temple fair. There are questions on each lottery. According to different fortunes, the difficulty is different. The lottery needs to answer the questions on the lottery. arrow. This game fully demonstrates Arisu's unparalleled observational abilities.
I think it may be that the special effects of the 100 million rockets in the later stage are not easy to do, and the live-action version has been changed to a game.
5. Purple Blowing Koori
Many people don't understand why Zibuki would do it with Zhang Tai instead of the stronger Arisu and Kanbe.
This may be the logical conflict brought about by the drama version changing some comic plots.
In the original work, Zi Buki was not a person who had sex with his boss in order to get promoted, but he did with Zhang Tai. So in fact, Zibuki didn't do this kind of thing for the superior, but to reveal his true feelings. In the real world, it is impossible for a beauty like Zi Bhui to fall in love with a short, ugly, unmotivated and lascivious boy like Zhang Tai.
But if you can understand the phrase " like things gather, people are divided into groups ", you should understand this paragraph very well. In fact, the same is true of us in reality. It is easy for flamboyant people to be friends with flamboyant people, and for introverted people to make friends with introverted people. Drink and drink together, play mahjong and mahjong together, watch anime and watch anime together.
In the comics, Kenbu, Youxi, and Mrs. Zhang are all students. Kenbu is passionate and impulsive, while Youxi is inferior and depressed. Mrs. Zhang can play a perfect role in reconciling the atmosphere. The Land of Dying is more like working in a company. Although Kuangbu is not smart, he has a strong physique and can contribute to strength; Youqi is an expert in wisdom and psychology, but Zhang Tai, on the other hand, seems to have no value in existence other than dragging his legs and being rescued (especially when he is rescued). after foot injury). And Miss Zibuki was also exhausted physically and mentally after several rounds of games. Due to the visa problem, she felt that she might die every day, and her spirit was on the verge of collapse. They thought that they might be abandoned at any time, so the two weak people huddled together to keep warm. Released suppressed emotions on the bed.
6. 5 of Spades - Ghosts catch people
The original work explained the reason why Arisu didn't run down when he saw the "ghost" for the first time. The live-action version is omitted here, making it impossible for the audience to see Ariu's intelligence.
Chiuya is a solitary B and doesn't greet others. Not to mention throwing the stun gun to Yu Ye.
Youqi squatted on the spot when he was about to be discovered by the "ghost", because he gave up on himself and had a low sense of existence, and the horse-faced people didn't see it.
At this moment, Kianbe thought that Arisu was caught by a "ghost". Decided to avenge Arisu. At this time, two players just decided to hunt "ghosts". Kanbe joined in on the action.
Li Guo did not appear in this game. The live-action version has two "ghosts", and the comic has only one. The reason the hunt failed was because the "ghost" had a second gun.
The "ghost" defended the base camp at the end, and Kōbe attacked the "ghost", giving Arisu an opportunity to enter the base camp. Chiuya also used a gun to help stop the "ghost" from chasing Kanebe. It was only after Arisu entered the base camp that he realized that the base camp required two people to press the button at the same time. At this time, Yu Ye appeared at the door, and cooperated with Arisu to clear the 5 of spades.
After the 5th of spades, Zibuki explained his first tram game [2 of Hearts] in the Land of Dying.
7. Hearts 7 - Hide and Seek
The first thing I want to explain is that many people are entangled in how to pass the game perfectly. Some say that the collar is violently removed, some say that they use a mirror to look at the second, and some say that they gouge their eyes... (From the conditions given in the comics, also unlikely)
I understand that audiences always want to show that they are smarter than the writers and writers. Whether it's breaking the rules or exploiting bugs, those methods that sound weird are neither good-looking nor good-looking. To make the simplest analogy, you let him go through a maze at the fastest speed, and he will tell you that you can walk from the outside of the wall, and he didn't write it anyway. You say you can't go outside the wall, and he'll tell you to take a plane and shoot it with a slingshot. Always find a way anyway.
It is not advisable to watch the film from the perspective of God. Offscreen we are always calmer than the protagonist and have more time than the protagonist. Once you know the story doesn't end well, go back and find a way. This is tantamount to a graded exam paper, going back to analyze A and B when it is known that C is wrong.
I understand that everyone wants everything to work out perfectly, but the story also needs the plot to drive it. When the story conforms to the basic logic, don't worry about the perfect way to pass the level. If you have to use the perspective of God to criticize the drama as worthless, then you basically don't need to watch any TV, and every drama in the province will be angry.
Back to the point:
The 7 of Hearts in the original is more dramatic. The matter of Zhang Tai and Zi Bhui having sex became a turning point. At first everyone didn't understand why the sheep should hide in a game where only wolves win. Several people did not want to die, they chased and killed each other. Yuzu accidentally turned into a wolf and hid silently. Zhang Tai confessed that he had done it with Zi Fu. Arisu bids farewell to the virgin one step ahead of time, causing Arizu to make a suspicious voice. The story takes a turn. Mrs. Zhang talked a lot to the two friends, which finally changed their mood. Zhang Tai didn't hold down Zi Bhui (the characters in the drama version are a bit strange), Zi Bhui said at first that he didn't care what kind of friendship game you play, anyway, I want to live, and after listening to the three of them chatting, I said that I can't bear the three lives. To live again, so I also gave up hope of life.
Arisu decided to quit the game and stood where the game started and waited for others to come, but no one showed up.
Then Kanbe talked about the dream of going to Australia to herd sheep, because Arisu wanted to go to Australia...
When the time was about to end, the three partners said goodbye in the headphones one by one. Then there were three explosions in the distance.
The customs clearance reward is lamb [very bad taste].
Seeing this scene, the honest man was directly driven crazy, and his emotions exploded.
Desperately, Aishu didn't have the courage to look at the bodies of his three friends, and set fire to the botanical garden himself with gasoline and a lighter. The three sacrificed by Hearts 7 became the lingering shadow of Arisu (until the last game).
I feel that the live-action version is more blunt because of the lack of daily parts.
8. Plum Blossom 4【Run-away】——The game of the bus
The bus game is a special chapter of the comics. There is no protagonist in this chapter, but all supporting characters. Among them, Jiu-tou Long Huiyi, one of the game's organizers, mixed in, pretending to be a person with inconvenient legs and feet, and said: "You guys go quickly...don't mind me..."
Some people in the comics said that if you want to live in the dying country, you must become ruthless (it seems that you have been educated by the dying country), and there is a gangster brother who also said that he helped him before, but because he had to go back (In order to go back and make a woman happy, the whole article has a more detailed description of this little brother's story, and it is considered flesh and blood), so I can only give up on him. Only one kind girl stayed with him.
Finally, unsurprisingly, others reached the farthest point of the tunnel to find the starting point. The girl who stayed with him was rescued at the end of the bus.
Of course, this also has something to do with them being "inexperienced". At first glance, run-away means running away, but it actually means: winning easily.
9. Waterfront
The No. 2 of the original seaside is Kurokuni. Li Guo is an existence of both good and evil, and has a very important role in the second stage. I feel that the live-action version made him more purely bad.
Arizumi did not participate in ♦4's light bulb switch game. The game is solved safely, and the whole process is strategized, highlighting a simple one, and the other ones who are not smart are panicked... The comics used 7 pages to describe this game. Compared with other plays, it is quite small, which means that the author also knows that the game is simple, not the focus of the description, but mainly to bring out the unique IQ of this woman.
10. Heart 10 - Witch Hunt
There are not many differences between the plot of this article and the comics, but many people see this article and feel that it is not exciting and start to give low scores.
Also, under the wonderful comparison of the previous games, Hearts 10 seems to be a little more paediatric. Even many people have guessed that the witch is Mengmenghua herself when they see the game content. This guessing process is actually a summary of the audience watching similar films over the years. Just like watching Conan, you must know that the culprit is among those three people, and even if you look at the suspect's behavior, you can know the murderer. But the people in the show definitely can't use this method to solve cases/pass the border.
The author's focus in comics is more inclined to write different people with different stories. The protagonists, supporting roles, and even dragon sets have their own stories. What is written is more about people's inner transformation after passing through the dying country.
In Hearts 10, Arisu was tied to a chair and was not released until almost the end. The mystery of the 10 of hearts was solved within a short time after it was released. It also shows that the author also thinks that the difficulty is not much. The reason why the situation becomes complicated is that Li Guo does not want to solve the mystery, but just wants to kill. During the period of the seal of Yuzu, the pen and ink were mainly given to all kinds of supporting characters.
Therefore, this play is not a simple game. The ending of the show is really awkward here. According to the mode of other dramas, the last few episodes should be the wonderful time, but stopped in this chapter that expands the world view and characters.
If you are thinking in your heart: the first season has been made such a ghost, will the second season be good?
Then I can give you a package ticket, as long as the second season doesn't change much, the exciting level of the plot will kill the first season.
11. Special Chapter 4 of Hearts - Questionnaire
[Actually, the special chapters of this comic are all main chapters.] Maybe the author felt that there was a sudden insertion of another story in the middle, which caused the rhythm to be incoherent, so it was named the special chapter.
The content of the game is to put people in the elevator outside the building, and the system will ask questions with two options and give the results of the poll.
Players need to choose whether to support the majority or the minority within 1 minute. If they answer correctly, they will go up one level, and if they answer incorrectly, they will go down one level. They will go up to the top level to clear the game, and if they get down to the bottom level, the game will end.
Personally, I think it may be the beginning of the second season of the drama version. In this article, a more important character [Dodo Hayato] appeared in the later stage, and it is also one of the games that Arisu has participated in. Of course, it is also possible that the screenwriter deleted this chapter, anyway, the plot of the first season ♣Plum Blossom 4 was grafted onto Yuzu.
12. Other
The video of Mengmenghua's shooting was adapted from a transition chapter near the end [Records of the Dying Kingdom], and was filmed by a stranger [Kameshan Haidou] who was completely unknown.
This article leads you to visit the various environments and various players in the Land of Dying. In the end, [Guishan Haidou] was killed, and the camera was picked up by Yuqi. The story is back to the main line.
After the hearts 10 clearance, the second stage will be told by the future of Ghana. The original 4 flower card bosses only reveal silhouettes.
In general, the story is generally based on the original. The second stage of the original game is quite classic. I hope the second season can be restored. Just some unclothed boss...cough....
Some people said after reading that there is no highlight performance in Chiu House, because the highlight performance of Chiu House is all in the second stage.
The original work is actually a group drama, and the games are not all customs clearance. There are many characters in the special chapter, and they are very interesting. I don't know how the second stage will be adapted... [In the original work, Yuxi only cleared two levels in the second stage...]
About the second season
On September 28, Netflix announced that a second season is coming. It is expected to be 2022.
The original author Aso Yulu continued to draw a 13-word orthodox short story "Alice Retry in the Land of Dying" when the first season was broadcast . Just enough for a single book. (In the comics at station B)
