Rendition Toward Books GoGo Monster

A poetic tale of a young boy’s overactive imagination. R to L (Japanese Style). GoGo Monster is a nuanced tale of a young boy and his overly active imagination. Nine-year-old Yuki Tachibana lives in two worlds. In one world, he is a loner ridiculed by his classmated and reprimanded by his teachers for telling stories of supernatural beings that only he can see. In the other worlds, the super natural beings vie for power with malevolent spirits who bring chaos into the school, the students lives and nature itself.

Commentary Out Of Books GoGo Monster

Beautiful black and white manga about an introvert kit dealing with the challenges of childhood.It either drifts into the supernatural or feels like that because the protagonist fosters a vidid imagination that merges school reality with a fantasy-ish world. The tone of the story is subtle. Little happens apart dealing bullying classmates, retreating to an elderly man and helping plant his garden and other 'mundane' things.Still, the imaginative showdown, the amazing perspectives and line work

As usual, Matsumoto's magical, sometimes tender child characters have jagged edges, with some using immature brutality to hurry their growth into adults and others fearfully fighting adulthood with their mature innocence. The illustrations are simultaneously beautiful and horrific in their perfect caricatures of every type of person and fiercely imagined creature. A story that merges reality with dreamworld, mental illness and isolation with social independence, GoGo Monster is a must read for

Matsumoto in transition, halfway between the action and explosive images of Black & White and the modest, perfect naturalism of Sunny. As such, it's totally fantastic,maybe the best of all Matsumotos. A slow creep of the otherworldly into the mundane, to the point of overwhelming, built on majestic image-cadences and associations. Intricate and beautiful.

Definitely an incredible book. Even those not particularly into manga should check out this one, because it goes above and beyond the genre in the same way that Hayao Miyazaki's movies (Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo) go above and beyond anime, only a little darker and a lot more internal than those movies. I'd recommend this to adults who want to see how far you can push comics in terms of what they can express.

Books in which children are special, different creatures from those strange adult people tend to be either excellent or terrible. Because theres so much you can do with that premise but theres a danger of it getting to be cloying or precious.Gogo Monster handles this balance superbly. The book stars a kid named Yuki whos right on the balance of teenagerhood. For him, getting older means not seeing the worlds wonderful monsters anymore and hes desperately scared that no matter what he does, he

Absolutely brilliant, moving, poetic, surreal story that not only pushes the boundaries of comics and manga, but also shows what is ONLY possible in this medium. The art which seems awkward at first is a language in itself, in a way. And the more I read the more I became amazed by the art!Strange as it sounds, I felt this story shares similar themes to those found in the film "Donnie Darko." And this I think, is a good thing.

Much like the rest of his work that I've consumed thus far, Go Go Monster continues to deal with the lives of boys as they grow up. But not in any sort of macho or overly sentimental way, Matsumoto always seems to be able to place himself into the very serious world of childhood without rendering it too tright or tragic.Originally published in 2000 by Shogakukan it was interesting to look at the overall timeline of Matsumoto's work from Blue Spring and Tekkonkinkreet, written 7 years before, and
