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
