Go Nagai’s Dante Shinkyoku (1994-95)

October 3, 2018 By Professor Elizabeth Coggeshall

dante-shinkyoku-cerbero-nagai-go-inferno“Dante Shinkyoku is a manga adaptation of Dante’s Inferno by Go Nagai. Nagai is faithful to the text, as he includes snippets of the original poem (in the vernacular). Though he chooses not to include the entire poem word for word, he shortens main ideas for the sake of comic style dialogue and transitions. He also includes an intro introducing the Guelphs and their struggle.”   –Contributor Savannah Mikus

The full Dante Shinkyoku series (originally released in 1994-1995) is available to read online here (last accessed July 27, 2021). [Please note: the url for accessing the full version of Dante Shinkyoku (through sites like mangaowl.net and mangadex.org) changes frequently, occasionally bringing up content that could be unsuitable for young viewers. Please click with caution.]

Scheduled to debut in April, it’s a five-part story that partly reimagines Dante’s Inferno, except this time starring a middle-aged mom who ‘descends the nine circles of hell to retrieve her forsaken family.’ ”    –Albert Chiang, CBR.
