Well, this is what I have to say about Kono Yo no Owari and no Tabi:
For starters, it's a synesthetic manga, a story about a boy with epiphanies.
His art is cartoonish, which I liked for its different style and having a beautiful Worldbuilding, but which is not very visible in its expressiveness.
He's pretty fast, even though it's a short manga.
Some ideologies and acts that go on are rather brief foundations.
And there isn't even development to be more of a psychedelic journey manga, which is pretty lazy to develop just the protagonist.

I really liked this work that wanted to imply several social issues through surrealism and absurdism : the fact that the issues are treated only on the surface is a mark of absurdism.
Their nature is showed on another aspect, all of this seems to be a piece of art about how it is to not understand anything about reality and what it implies : social norms and habits. That way, the character isn't made to be liked or anything, he is just a tool to represent absurdism : one of my favorite philosophical thesis. I got annoyed by the placement of the text, the ...

“I saw the infinite hell known as freedom stretch out before my eyes.”
A man wakes up one day to find that outside nothing looks alike to how it did before, and the world he knew ceases to exist. What starts out a bit whimsical and harmless soon makes clear it’s really a nightmare. As we betray all sense, the reader sinks headfirst into a manga equivalent of LSD Dream Emulator. The ideas are truly a sublime blend of the macabre and surreal. A major “plot structure” is the Traveller encountering horrifying and confusing alternate societies where he tries to fit in. Everything is from the perspective ...

this is gonna be a half assed review.
story (2/10) : man, i see many comments about this 'deep' story and meaning, but for me its like the author went on drugs. maybe i'm just dumb. i can't even make a summary for it please ;-; art (3/10) : the author has a sort of creepy and unique artstyle, it reminds me of greek/egypt writing (?) it's clean and easy to understand (can't say the same about the plot though) character (2/10) : uuuh??? all i can tell is that they're all mentally ill. is the main character supposed to represent an emotion? humans in general? life? i ...

This is probably not a fair review but I'm aiming for a neccesary one.
Kono yo no owari e no tabi's story can be summed as a repeating dream (hence the surrealism) of an apathetic man. Nothing else. It's not one of those weird and kinda interesting dreams we all have every now and then, but one of those you have when you went to bed late and you gotta wake up early to go to work: not good, a bit boring, almost wishing you could just wake up already, go to work and be over with it so you can go to bed earlier the ... |
