Area 51
A manga where a human detective solves cases in the mysterious 51st state of America that is the collecting ground of mythological creatures, aliens, and even gods.
We discussed this on a recent episode.
This manga looks CRAZY good. Masato Hisa‘s art uses extreme contrasts with blacks and whites. It really reminds me of Frank Miller’s Sin City. Hisa’s style makes this series a fun read. I enjoyed the episodic nature of different cases that need to be solved and all the unique creatures that get introduced. There is a larger plotline dealing with the backstory of the protagonist but I’m not sure if it will lead to anything deep or interesting yet.
I’ll definitely keep reading this for now.
