In this blog post, I’m gonna focus my attention somewhere I don’t normally focus it. I’m not really a fan of the anime/manga genre of animation but I found a monologue poem from a anime/manga series that I really enjoyed versifying.
I wanna tell you about a 15 stanza monologue poem delivered by the main character named Nanami Kento in the popular anime manga series “Jujutsu Kaisen”.
In this monologue poem, Nanami explains his pointless avarice, how he’s not really important to the world, and how it doesnt make sense that his pointless job pays better than other jobs.
This monologue poem is written in 15 tercet stanzas (3 lines) that are each in song format where the 1st and 2nd lines rhyme and the 3rd line does NOT rhyme. This monologue poem has the feel of a rap song.
If I were to perform this monologue, I word emphasize the song format rhyme scheme and speak the lines as if they were rap lyrics. I would also emphasize the speakers love for words that end with the long e sound of the letter “Y”. I would elongate that final long e sounding “Y” syllable in each of those words. With this elongation of syllables and a rap song feel you’re gonna sound alot like the monorhymed verses of the rapper, Busta Rhymes. But that’s cool because we love Busta Rhymes.
Check out the monologue poem BELOW. Please let me know if you want me to versify more monologues from the anime/manga genre. Please LIKE, COMMENT ON and FOLLOW this blog.
