KAGO is a force to be reckoned with. Prepare yourself for protuberantly perverse depictions which convey over the top satirical mockeries of various themes.
Exploration of panels seems to be the primary focus. His idiomatic style shines vividly, and features a ballsy approach to the aforementioned; in a way that classic narrative is tossed away and it's all about the visual presentation. He ventures into a world in-between and behind panels and slaps us with "literary mechanisms" that we rarely even contemplate.
No boundaries are to be found, the idea is probed to extremity; which in the end results with implosion and collapse of the

In it's entirety it is a inspiring work in it's own~ It was meant to be a on-shot~~

I have NEVER read or seen a manga like this. You can comprehend the beginning pretty well but as you move along, in my opinion, it's a very bizarre story of cause and effect. By page 13, we see an extremely complex happening all at once thus the cause and effect begins. Then after that I honestly have no idea what starts happening lmao.

This anthology manga is an extremely mixed bag for me,
There's a good variety of stories compiled in this book, many of them with very different goals and themes.

Kago does a phenomenal job of utilising the medium of manga to its maximum potential unlike any mangaka I've encountered. The visual presentation of these stories is fantastic, and the non linear nature of them makes for a mind boggling experience. His deconstruction and exploration of the medium are strikingly unique, and he takes these deconstructions to the absolute ... |
