Personally I find him the most att appealing mangaka ever his art is truly beautiful passing his what he sees in society in the form of art even tho his art is pretty crazy and tiger himself calls it nonsense it does have a sense and I love it on of my favorite mangas ever unfortunately tra and none other works from him are available online only raw physically. Some author that remembers me from him maki sasaki is other mangaka that Im truly in love for his art is a mix between a infantjuvenile and surrealist styles and he loves talking about society in a crazy and nonsense way even tho I prefer tigers art maki sasaki art is as beautiful as tigers my favorite work from him is um Ive no macho and you can find it complete in raw scans at dead scalations Hope yall like my review Im still learning English so sorry if I made an mistake or something like that
