purgatory kabuki is currently my favorite manga. its got amazing artwork and takes the art more seriously than the story, or at least in my mind it does. i think its evident that the quality of the images is prioritized when you try to read it. it is such a hard read because while each piece of art is beautiful to look at, it doesnt always follow comic conventions for visual communication like drawing your eye along the story chronologically or having simple images.(i've read it lots of times and i'm still not sure i get all of it) it has strong inkwork and beautiful composition though.
i dont think i'll make mine like this, obviously you've already seen that i've been learning techniques to make pages that are different in style, i just thought it was worth mentioning because it has been a great inspiration to my work nontheless.
i couldnt really find images online of pages that are tough to decipher like i mentioned and i dont really want to bend my copy but maybe i might have to take it into college and get some scans for you.
read purgatory kabuki if you like amazing artwork and samurai action.
