Short Cuts

Series Description: So just what is with this fascination for the Japanese teenage girl? We're talking about the extreme variant of her -- that highly evolved creature of Japan's frantically trendy consumer culture: the ko-gall And just what goes on inside a ko-gal's overstimulated mind? Short Cuts is a surreal illustrated journey into the ko-gal's world created by Usamaru Furuya, one of Japan's most esteemed avant-garde comic artists. 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, and Bigfoot Muku, and stranger beings still. A treat for fans of the cutting edge of comics art, as well as anyone wanting to get current on the latest Tokyo fads, this volume contains a tsunami of surreal gags and teenage madness, all rendered in Furuya's trademark mixture of peerless art and innovative layouts.Furuya, Usamaru is the author of 'Short Cuts' with ISBN 9781591160694 and ISBN 1591160693.
