This is one of the shortest stories, with the rare gag payoff in an Urasawa work. This is like Pluto if it was Moebius instead of Tezuka or something. I couldn't say anything but good words for this story, it's incredibly enjoyable. Possibly because the west is starved for Kaiji related content, this struck a very interesting chord with me, and the ending is one of the more insane, surprising, and interesting endings I've read in a story. Really love the muted tones Urasawa uses, it matches his storytelling for some reason.
Right out of the gate, the usage of color is fantastic. My absolute favorite story, and I enjoyed this more than I did Monster, frankly. Almost like a travel vlog, there is little for someone who doesn't care/understand Urasawa's generation of rock music. Yet another collection of niche music stories, surrounding Urasawa's journey to LA. The info dump at the start does little to help the story, as it feels kind of pointless and like a personal anecdote from a musician's life.
Unlike Urasawa's previous musical anecdote as a fan, I find this a little harder to relate to having no background in these musicians.
Since this is a full color work, now is also the perfect opportunity to say that i really enjoy Urasawa's usage of color in general, throughout his stories. I actually think I really enjoy Urasawa writing animals, it's kind of quirky, and something in this story is extremely charming. Surprisingly this is a Tom and Jerry-like tale about a couple of rats trying to get a piece of cake.
future version of what us kpop idol fans will look like when we are 60, so i enjoyed it a decent bit. An ejoyable read, but seems a bit pointless, and too contrived.įunny and well drawn stories narrating a few musical experiences by Urasawa, specifically old guy music. Slightly predictable story that reads a lot like Urasawa's mysteries. There really isn't that much to this story, but it's a decent read.Ģ.Tsuki ni Mukatte Nagero!/Throw Toward The Moon! A Yakuza/Mafia story about a father who gets caught up in his mobs wider plot. Interesting story about a telepathic with some sort of ability to do.something? It's not clear, but the power makes for an interesting plot device.
