Description
Begin as a webcomic before being published.
Set in a fictional version of Tokyo, Megatokyo portrays the adventures of Piro, a young fan of anime and manga, and his friend Largo, an American video game enthusiast. The manga often parodies and comments on the archetypes and clichés of anime, manga, dating sims and video games, occasionally making direct references to real-world works. Megatokyo originally emphasized humor, with continuity of the story a subsidiary concern. Over time, it focused more on developing a complex plot and the personalities of its characters.

I put off reading this series for years, even though I'm a big OEL fan, because I hate "Sketchy" art styles. I recently relented however, and read volume one because I was able to get it VERY cheap. I was shocked at how hilarious it was. It's true that the art and the plot may be all over the place, but I feel my high rating is appropriate because I love comedy, and reading volume one made me feel like I'd just met a new set of quirky and entertaining friends. And don't be put off by the fact that it was started in the year 2000. I was surprised by how relevant all the pop culture references it makes still are to the anime/gaming world today.
