A seguito della traduzione in giapponese di A Song of Ice and Fire, fortunata serie di libri scritta da George R. R. Martin da cui è tratta la serie TV Game of Thrones, la casa editrice Hakayawa ha commissionato all’artista Noriko Meguro la realizzazione di una serie di copertine originali ispirate alla saga. A differenza dei responabili casting della HBO l’autrice ha preso alla lettera le indicazioni fornite dall’autore nei vari volumi, realizzando dei disegni estremamente fedeli alle caratteristiche estetiche descritte: colore degli occhi e dei capelli, forma del viso, pelle e corporatura.
Una scelta particolarmente felice, specie se si considera che alcuni punti cardine della storia si reggono sull’ereditarietà dei caratteri somatici, che non potrà non essere apprezzata dai fan che hanno storto il naso alla vista delle parrucche variopinte (Melisandre), chiome ossigenate (Cersei, Daenerys) e fisionomie stravolte (Jon Snow, Salladhor Saan, Asha Greyjoy) presenti nella serie TV.

Jon Snow
Even at age fourteen, Jon is said to have more Stark-like features than any of his half-brothers. Jon has a lean build, with dark brown hair and grey eyes so dark they border on black. He is graceful and quick. Tyrion Lannister notes that Jon has the traditional Stark face in everything but name—long, solemn and guarded—a face that gives nothing away. He remarks to himself that whoever Jon’s mother was, she left little of herself in her son’s appearance. Arya Stark is said to resemble Jon the most of the Stark children. (A Wiki of Ice and Fire)

Arya Stark
Arya’s appearance is more Stark than Tully, with a long face, grey eyes, and brown hair. She is skinny and athletic. At the start of the story, she is generally regarded as plain, as exemplified by her nickname “Arya Horseface”, and often mistaken for a boy. However, there are instances of her being called pretty, compared to the beautiful Lyanna, and catching the eye of men later in the books. In Braavos the kindly man says she has a pretty face.
