Gogo Monster

i would be interested in hearing your thoughts on gogo monster!

oOoOOhhh man...short and poignant in a most disturbing way. I'd already read some works by the same author where he proved being extremely good at 1) writing realistic children, with deep attention paid to how they see the world and act with each other, and 2) drawing illusions, surrealism and dreamscapes...and that little story is just those two things combined isn't it

I had rather high expectations because several people who's tastes I trust told me it was really good, including that it was better than tekkonkinkreet (my favorite manga! how can you!) and was shocked to see it was so short? Taiyo Matsumoto never writes really long manga and I had read shorter things by him but it was still unexpected. Despite the shortness of it all the pacing is nice and slow and gives off that busy monotony of what school was like...the length is perfect for what it's doing, I couldn't see it done otherwise.

The art itself looks great, technically speaking and according to my subjective tastes. That being said it's extremely similar to the other stuff he was doing at the time style-wise which for an artist who willingly experiments with that was a tiny bit underwhelming? I haven't managed to spot anything unique in it - in the context of the artist's mangas. In the wider context of manga in general, it's still a fresh, original and wonderfully drawn comic.

It's all I love in a plot: show don't tell, a humble scale and a healthy dose of vagueness you may interpret. Added to this comes a sort of...respectful distance? I've felt in a lot of the author's work. Despite a small cast and a lot of solo, almost first person moments, you don't quite feel immersed. You're not part of what's going on, only witnessing it. It adds to the atmosphere.

Yet another outcast child protag, this time (if you compare to tekkon, to sunny, even to the prelude to no.5) a softer little guy. Yet another instance of dealing with undisclosed mental health stuff affecting his everyday life. Still love to see that, the gentle kindness in relation to that subject matter is what made me love this author in the first place. I'm easily attached to characters like that and in this case, his relationship to loneliness and strange lack of care for the treatment given by fellow classmates tugged at my heart strings a whole lot.

Now, for the fucked up stuff. This manga actually scared me! The uh, supernatural? Elements creep slowly. I did not see them coming and their execution was terrific. There's something uniquely scary in showing stuff happening and the rest of the world denying it your face, added to this the point of view of a young child, an age where your opinion on the world isn't one many regard as important, where your perspective gets brushed off ... if I had to give a meaning to the story it'd be that. A sort of personification of the discomfort of childhood, of not being taken seriously but of fearing what's coming next, not yet being old enough to be aware of your own life's past tense but feeling the changes in you as you grow up.

10/10. Reconsidering my stance on those under the bed monsters right now

I just watched the Big Hero 6 series and I can't help but wonder what the group would have looked like if they had been transformed into monsters by Liv Amara too.

So I started raving about a couple of sketches for Honey Lemon and Gogo because they're my favorites.

Here you are, don't yell at me, please.

(sorry for the poor quality of the pages, I wasn't going to get attached to those sketches, much less publish them)

And that's the end of Monsters and Comets. I've put a lot of effort into making this at least readable, so thank you so, so, so much for your support!

Just like before, my inbox is open for any questions you have about the series or for the ensemble! (Open until phase 3 publishes)
