A collection of short comics by illustrator and comic creator Mississippi.
We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.
Really enjoyed this. Independent/alternative manga is has such a different feel than mainstream manga. The panel layout feels closer to Western comics but the art style reminded me of Japanese newspaper comics. This collection has a similar vibe to panpanya‘s An Invitation from a Crab, so if you enjoyed that manga you’ll probably enjoy this one too.
Available digitally from Glacier Bay Books.
