Short Cuts

In this second and final volume of his Short Cuts series, Furuya revisits the gallery of bizarre comic characters introduced in the first entry: classroom bunny Mariko, obsessive Zero Boy, Bigfoot Muku, and stranger beings still. This volume contains a tsunami of surreal gags and teenage zaniness, all rendered in Furuya's distinctive mixture of innovative layouts and peerless art. A treat for fans of the cutting edge of comics art as well as anyone who wants the skinny on the latest Tokyo fads.
