Some manga studies I did over the summer of a comic I really enjoy “Yokohama Kadaishi Kikou”. It’s about a robot girl who runs a cafe during a sort of quiet apocalypse. It’s a bit older (1994) and is a little bit gay. I absolutely love the art style, the pacing and how slow it is. I highly recommend checking it out if you can. There’s four OVA episodes for it over on youtube. The first two were fantastic but the second two were done in 2006 and weren’t as good.
Manga studies are such a nice way to look at my favourite comics in a different way. How are they panelled? How does the artist pace the story? How do they use B&W to it’s limit?
I’ve done manga studies before in this public post of Monkey Punch studies, or for Grab Bag Patrons I posted a whole sketchbook of studies!
(the manga is, anyway)
