ODA PLS
Oh my word. This is perfect beyond words. Of course Oda’s would be a catastrophe <3 One Piece, my first manga love.
Because our comic-based followers are so under-represented, please enjoy this.

I’m now part of a group blog of some amazing comic artists called WhatNot, where each member posts artwork on a different theme each week. This week’s theme was “Your Favorite Comic Artist” and I chose Naoki Urasawa. Personal work, 2012.
Kotake (コタケ) has an old-school manga style that you don’t come across too often anymore. Their already flat coloring is done with shades that mostly stay around the same value, creating low contrast images with no element coming any more forward than another. This style forces you to churn through the entire picture, spending time with all parts of the relatively detailed line-work.
Something about Kotake’s characters gives me a strong sense that they are or once were alive — something about them seems very real. When I look through their art, it feels like I am looking through a picture album full of memories, or perhaps something more intimate.

I’ll forever reblog some Junji Ito <3
crossing gender boundaries in the 70s with feminist mangaka:
Yamato Waki (KILLA), Yamagishi Ryouko (Shiroi Heya no Futari—an early story about about gay young women), Takemiya Keiko (Kaze to Ki no Uta—a story about about love and abusive sexuality between men and boys), Hagio Moto (this is actually a cover from the early 80s of a feminist comic anthology called Grapefruit), Naka Tomoko (Saltor Koushaku no Tanoshimi—the person on the cover is a man, by the way), Aoike Yasuko (from Eroica with Love—this is one of my favorite manga ever—it’s a cold war spy comedy about an obsessive gay art thief and an anal-retentive, homophobic, German NATO officer), Ikeda Riyoko (The Rose of Versailles—lady Oscar, the transvestite head of the royal guard in Marie Antoinette’s court), Miuchi Suzue (from her adaptation of the story of Joan of Arc)
From Eroica With Love. So much.
