An absolutely wonderful tale of Koyasan and the lengths she went to in order to save her younger sister. Koyasan was teased for being too afraid to cross the bridge to play in the graveyard with the other village children and after an argument, her sister ran across the bridge at night to play in the graveyard. The spirits were angry, lonely monsters who stole her sister's soul and only Koyasan could get it back--if she could conquer her fears and defeat three warriors selected by the spirits.

I loved Koyasan's perseverance and logical thinking. Sometimes things are not at all what they first appear to be and conquering her fears, silencing her inner demon, and finding inner strength made Koyasan the perfect hero.

Another great story by Darren Shan!

Ketika salah seorang teman berkata bahwa dia sudah membaca buku ini sewaktu sekolah, aku meenyadari bahwa aku memang ketinggalan jauh akan bacaan-bacaan yang semestinya dibaca saat usia lebih muda. Tapi, berkesempatan membaca buku anak-anak ketika dewasa itu sebuah anugerah.

Sudah lama mendengar kata Darren Shan karena beberapa teman komunitas memfavoritkannya, akhirnya aku bisa membaca buku--yang menurutku--termasuk bacaan anak-anak ini. Dibawakan dengan sudut pandang orang ketiga, Darren Shan menceritakan kisah Koyasan bagai dongeng.

Sampul dengan gadis cilik menggunakan kimono yang terlihat lucu bagai kamuflase yang baik dari kisah ngeri penuh gentar di dalamnya. Aku jadi begitu penasaran dengan karya Darren Shan yang lain. Apakah memang begini tuturan kisahnya? Di balik sisi menyeramkan yang ditonjolkannya, Darren Shan memberikan gambaran kehangatan yang amat bisa menjadi pelajaran bagi siapa saja yang membaca kisah Koyasan ini, terutama anak-anak.

Duh, pengin ulas panjang lebar deh! Huhuhu.

The intention of this book is really for kids. This was gifted to me as an Xmas gift. I thought I'd be slating it. Turned out to be a good story, polished off with a nice little lesson.

Reread: I was 11 when I first read this book at school. It was a book that I still dream about every now and then, still think about and believes me to think that this book is why I love horror and bittersweet endings so much. I never reread books, but this was something I had to do and am sure to read once more in the future.


2022: This is the book that got me into reading in the first place. A book from my childhood I still think about once in a while.

This book is AMAZING. It is very short, but it has made a huge affect on me after I read it. It is very creative and interesting. The characters Darren Shan came up with have very interesting personalities. This is a book definitely a 'worth to read' book.

Predictable end but lovely journey to get there. The world building in such a tiny novella was very good and has a nice element of scariness in it, even with it being a children's book.

Satu lagi buku dari pengarang jenius favoritku, Darren 'O Shaughnessy. Setelah 'terjebak' dalam kegilaan 12 jilid serial pertamanya yang diterbitkan di Indonesia, Serial Petualangan Darren Shan (Darren Shan Saga), nama pena 'Darren Shan' adalah satu hal yang akan membuatku segera mengambil buku tersebut dari rak. Begitu pula Koyasan ini.

鈥淜ebanyakan orang merasa takut suatu waktu dalam hidupnya. Itu tidak berarti mereka pengecut. Pengecut adalah mereka yang tidak melakukan apapun ketika rasa takut mengancam menghancurkan mereka. Kau harus menghadapi rasa takutmu saat keadaan mendesak. Kau mungkin tidak selamat kalau melakukannya, tapi kalau kau mati, kau tidak akan mati sebagai pengecut.鈥� -Koyasan, hlm 24-

Paragraf di atas adalah kalimat kesukaanku dari novel Koyasan. Dikutip dari kata-kata Itako -seorang tetua desa yang dikabarkan memiliki kemampuan 鈥榢husus鈥�- pada Koyasan, sang tokoh utama. Dan menurutku, kutipan itu juga lah, inti dari cerita ini: tentang bagaimana seseorang menghadapi ketakutannya.

Aku malas membuat sinopsis, jadi kukutipkan saja dari cover belakang:

Di Desa Koyasan ada jembatan batu sempit yang menghubungkan desa dengan pekuburan kuno. Semua teman Koyasan senang bermain ke pekuburan itu, termasuk Maiko, adik Koyasan yang masih kecil. Cuma Koyasan yang tidak berani menyeberangi jembatan tersebut.

Suatu malam, jiwa Maiko dicuri arwah-arwah gentayangan di pekuburan kuno itu. Menurut Itako, tetua desa, untuk menolong Maiko, Koyasan harus merebut jiwa Maiko malam ini juga. Karena saat fajar tiba, jiwa Maiko akan menyerpih dan tak terselamatkan鈥�


Bagaimana? Mungkin selintas terdengar seperti cerita hantu Jepang biasa, yang memang sering mengambil latar pekuburan kuno di sana. Tapi sungguh, cerita ini tidak sesederhana itu.

Salah satu hal yang menarik bagiku adalah penggunaan hantu-hantu sebagai metafora untuk ketakutan seseorang. Hal itu digambarkan dengan begitu menarik pada bab saat Koyasan harus mengalahkan tiga hantu sebagai syarat untuk mengambil kembali jiwa Maiko.

Setelah membaca seluruhnya, aku tidak lagi heran mengapa gambar sampul Koyasan ini seperti buku cerita anak-anak. Berbeda dengan Darren Shan saga yang ditujukan untuk remaja -melihat dari ceritanya yang penuh ketragisan dan beberapa adegan sadis-, gaya bahasa dan cerita Koyasan memang lebih ringan dan sepertinya memang untuk segmen anak-anak. Tapi tetap saja, aku lebih suka cover asli Koyasan dibanding edisi Gramedia-nya!

This book tells how koyasan face her fears. An event that befall her family make koyasan must dare to act and save her little sister.

I think the messages of this book are about be brave, tough, smart and responsive to face all your weakness and fears.

Tetszett, mert gyorsan elolvashat贸, olvasm谩nyos, jap谩nos, aranyos t枚rt茅net. Nem tetszett viszont az 谩t铆r谩s 茅s a k枚nyv nagybet疟s mivolta, amib艖l is l谩tszik, hogy ezt els艖sorban a kisebbeknek sz谩nt谩k (legal谩bbis a kiad贸 mindenk茅ppen), val贸sz铆n疟leg ez茅rt is hi谩nyzik a brutalit谩s 茅s egy茅b gusztustalanul v茅rben tocsog贸 belek 茅s egyebek jelenl茅te. Picit komolyabbra ford铆tv谩n a sz贸t, l谩ttam molyon is, hogy sokaknak nem j枚tt be, a h煤gomnak sem tetszett, de az any谩mnak igen. A h煤gom egyetlen 茅rvk茅nt csup谩n azt b铆rta el艖sz枚r felhozni, hogy Darren Shan nem ilyeneket 铆r, 茅s amit 茅n nem tudtam elfogadni, mert szerintem ez att贸l m茅g nem indok, az viszont m谩r lehet az, hogy ez gyeng茅bb, mint m谩s munk谩i. (V茅g眉l csak kisajtoltam bel艖le, hogy nem tetszett a happy end. Ok茅, az t茅nyleg fura volt, hogy le铆rta a j枚v艖t is, de valahogy 铆gy volt kerek is.)

T茅ny, hogy a Kojaszan m谩s, de att贸l m茅g nem rossz. Olyan鈥� aranyos. Ett艖l m茅g persze nem 谩ll铆tom, hogy a Darren Shan rosszabb lenne (term茅szetesen sokkal jobb n谩la :) ), csak nem volt annyira sz枚rny疟, ahogy v谩rtam m谩sok v茅lem茅nye alapj谩n. 脡s akkor most fel is mer眉lt bennem egy k茅rd茅s: szabad-e valakit beskatuly谩zni? Nem hiszem, legal谩bbis 茅n nem 枚r眉ln茅k neki, viszont az茅rt jogos, ha valakit艖l csak egy bizonyos st铆lust szoktunk meg.

Koyasan adalah buku Darren Shan lain yang aku baca setelah seri Demonata. Buku tipis ini berkisah tentang Koyasan yang takut menyeberangi jembatan penghubung desa dengan perkuburan kuno. Suatu malam, jiwa adiknya, Maiko dicuri arwah-arwah di perkuburan itu. Dia harus memilih antara melarikan diri dari misi penyelamatan atau menghadapi ketakutan terbesar dalam hidupnya. Pilihan yang tidak mudah bagi seorang anak kecil.

Alur cerita bergerak cepat dan lancar tanpa ada kesan paksaan. Mungkin karena alur cepat itu, maka muncul beberapa pertanyaan yang tak sempat dijelaskan di buku, seperti asal-usul kemampuan Itako. Tapi, aku tidak menuntut penjelasan lebih lanjut karena buku ini indah apa adanya. Tidak butuh lagi deskripsi panjang yang justru bisa bikin bosan. Segala hal yang butuh penjelasan menjadi misteri yang membawa buku ini menuju tingkat ketegangan tertentu.

Dari 13 buku om Shan yang udah aku baca, ini yang paling serem >.<

Om Shan mengambil setting di Jepang. Sepertinya cerita ini ditulis saat om Shan lagi di sana. Ceritanya pendek dan mungkin karena Om Shan di Jepangnya bentar. Tapi, 12 buku Darren Shan Saga terbit dalam versi manga (yang harganya sesuatu ._.).

Kenapa aku bilang kisah ini serem?

Karena Jepang itu, meski modern tetep memegang adat. Kayak festival misalnya. Dan cerita ini tentang Koyasan yang harus berkeliaran di Kubulan (ya, kata Maiko sang adik sih Kubulan) karena jiwa Maiko diambil oleh arwah yang gentayangan setiap malam di sebrang sungai.

Koyasan tikak pernah berani untuk menyebrang meski teman-temannya sering main di kuburan.

Dan di Indonesia kan ada kuburan. Mana aku bacanya malem melulu dan lebih sering pas lewat tengah malam. Jadi horrornya lebih berasa.

Kalau vampir kan ceritanya di luar negri, jadi horrornya gak berasa. Dan Darren Shan Saga itu gak ada serem-seremnya buatku tapi malah sedih. Secara nyeritain tentang kehidupan meski kehidupan vampir.

Dan endingnya. Aku tidak memasukan endingnya ke manapun. Bukan akhir bahagia, bukan akhir sedih, bukan pula akhir yang digantung.

Darren punya cara sendiri untuk mengakhiri ceritanya.

Dan hal inilah yang semakin membuatku bertekad menjadi penghuni Shanville...

This book was promising; at first but in the end I wasn鈥檛 so impressed with it. If I read correctly this is based off a Mexican folktale. I wish there would have been more background in the book as too how everything originally began. The end was also a little too happy go lucky for my taste and I hate how it fast forwarded time by like 70 some years.

Not a bad book, but not a great one either. This book was written for national book day, and as such lacks the polish of a more thought out, longer work. Shan manages to sufficiently tell a decent tale, but the plot was entirely predictable and felt like I had read it before.

Was interesting to some extent but too short to be a good story, the ending was quite a big let down compared to the rest of the story
