"A new world is bursting forth! It's so cool it makes me laugh."
Disturbing men gather in a disturbing town and are lured into the disturbing "The Room of the World Map."
What is the disturbing sight that you will witness there?
A mysterious sense of unease lingers like a drone in Yuichi Yokoyama's new genre, "Neo Gekiga."
Yuichi Yokoyama
Graduated from Musashino Art University oil painting department. He used to make fine art, but since 2000 he prefers comics as his medium of expression because he can "paint time".
