experimental guro manga by Shintaro Kago

this is page 7 from an English "scanlation" of Shintaro Kago's story Abstraction. You can find every page here. Warning: rude words & sexually explicit pictures. It's more about warping the frames than it is about abstract content. Seems to be a raw love story. Guro is a Japanese genre with plenty of blood, gore, nudity & shock.

  1. classics! I enjoy Kago's works very much. after seeing these, lots of comics look so "flat".

  2. This is really fascinating me. Not the story, not at all. But the framing or should I say the shelfing ... Great!

  3. This was amazing! And yes, it is warping the way I read "flat" comics now. Suddenly everything looks like shelving.

    Okay, I liked the naughty bits too. Sometimes, I swear, I think I am stuck at age 14. :-)
