Here's a fun dystopian Apocalypse manga short that asks the modern question, "How must we balance social calamity storytelling with inventive forms of dialogue?"
====
In the modern city of Tokyo, a horrid darkness was sullying the skies. It had been generations since the tragedy of Hiroshima/Nagasaki, and people in Japan/Asia were concerned about the transcendence of human related dystopian imagination and were now interested in vitality folklore and positive networking. This is why in modern Tokyo, the thrilling youth bank robbing gang known as the Red Sparrows were almost canonized as outlaw storytelling promoting folk heroes. The Red Sparrows managed to perform daring heists in Japanese/Asian banks of nefarious 'blood diamonds' controlled by ruthless warlords with tycoon-like grips on cities and therefore created a stir among the people yearning for more imaginative street chatter about humanity diaries.
The Red Sparrows were creating a sense of upstart folk optimism among bored Asians frustrated by the claustrophobia created by bureaucracy. The good people of Tokyo suddenly had a nice clan to write about and chat about to help them forget about the endured horror of WWII and the nightmares of the modern marvel of nuclear weaponry. Yes, the Red Sparrows were like the Asian rendition of the American Hole-in-the-Wall-Gang (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid), creating social arrows towards more imaginative talk regarding non-devastating forms of folk rebelliousness! This is why the Tokyo Herald regard the Red Sparrows as the 'folk plumbers' of Japanese/Asian depression.
For every great tale of humbling human social diaspora or psychiatry, there's an ancillary and more dark face of villainy! This villainy in modern Tokyo came in the form of the nefarious Dead Pool. This neo-gothic criminal gang was comprised of hoodlums who'd banded together to form any underground terrorist-murder cult devoted to a singular form of urban subversion of folk chatter --- the sabotaging of pedestrian cars and cop cars! The Dead Pool would diswire and plant brake and gear failing spikes and electrical bomb-sparks in the underside of parked pedestrian and cop cars, so when drivers found themselves maniacally driving out-of-control on the road, there was no deterrence to raw road disasters.
TOKYO HERALD: "We fear that if this evil 'Dead Pool isn't stopped immediately in modern Tokyo, the sense of complete urban daylight will be eclipsed by the neo-gothic force of urban disarray, as pedestrians and officials alike will become unraveled in their ability to balance basic social imagination and street chatter with real terrorism paranoia, and not even the daring pirate like feet of the Red Sparrows will be able to help us transcend the deformative haunting of the civilization collapsing thunderdome of Hiroshima/Nagasaki."
