Paperakyu

Toyokazu Matsunaga is an anti-authoritarian author with a knack for crafting offbeat stories, often inspired by children's stories, featuring grotesque, otherworldly violence. His artwork is simplistic by design, yet he's an expert at conveying emotions and movement. Paperakyu, much like his other serializations, starts off in a way where you're not sure if it'll add up to much, but a third of the way in it's safe to say this is his magnum opus; and he did it all on his own time, pro-bono, one page a day for 10 years. Legend.

Why would people ignore reading such a manga, the answer is simple, because readers want a good art and some hot chicks. Well you won’t find anything like this in this manga but you will find a story that will let you know that you can’t judge a manga only from the art.

For this manga, the at really goes well with the story, and I don’t think that this manga is meant for kids because later in some chapters you will find how bloody and sad it is. Trust me, you will not get bored from it, because it doesn’t have much dialogue so you will finish the chapters fast, and everything will begin at chapter 3 where you will know the problem and what will be going on.

So give it a shot and don’t think that it is bad because the art goes pretty well with such story.
