Mikakunin Prince Buttai U.P.O. · review
UPO is pretty unique manga. It’s mostly dialogueless yet not silent. I has realistic drawings used to depict silly or outright surreal scenes while taking them seriously. It doesn’t bother explaining the world to you and yet it sucks you in. It has arstyle you would expect of earlier 80s manga and seeps with masculinity you would expect of hardboiled shounen of those era and yet… it’s distinctively it’s own thing. The best way to describe UPO would be an experience. Turning the pages while mumbling to yourself “what the fuck am I reading”. And I mean this wholly as a compliment. So, if youare in the mood to read some oldschool absurd and yet earnest manga, do consider giving this one a try.
