Kasutoro Shiki

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. But I continued because it's only 16 pages long and the art itself kept me going. It is outstanding. The 3D concept is out of this world. I have never seen a manga artist like Shintaro Kago take manga to the next level like he does. So that's why it really disappoints/maddens me to see people rate this manga, including his other works, so low because "there's nothing really to it," but really there is SOOOOOOOOO much to this manga; that is why I stress to future readers you MUST approach Kasutoro Shiki with a completely open and different mind. Just because there is no obvious plot line, can't we appreciate a manga solely for it's art if it's done just as perfectly as Kasutoro Shiki's was????

A very troubling and bewildering manga.
It wasn't bad, the creative flow of it really shined through~
At it's first read-through it's pretty hard to understand, that or it was meant for the very mentally achieved. It's amazing in it's own sense, I've never encountered a style such as this one! I would definitely suggest it to the Horror genre crowd, as I enjoyed the bizarreness of it all.
In it's entirety it is a inspiring work in it's own~
It was meant to be a on-shot~~

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 medium itself. All in all, a work to be enjoyed for the sheer hilarity of it, or perhaps some more profound desires.
