É o que é

A note: Don't expect to understand what's going on in this manga the first time you read it. It is just like the series in a way that you won't know just what the hell is going on the first time around. Surreal craziness and a unique, fast-paced style of story-telling is part of what FLCL is. It's got robots, schoolgirls with robots stuck to their heads, some sort of alien(?) woman in a bunny costume, the same woman driving around on a Vespa running kids over and smacking them upside the head with a guitar that can transform into a shotgun, and... You get the point. The basic premise: We're introduced to 'Takkun' (a nickname that everyone refers to him by), an uncaring boy who lives in a fictional town controlled by Medical Mechanica. However, one day he's run over by a woman with a Vespa and smacked in the forehead with her guitar, which somehow forms a parallel universe inside his head where robots can sprout out of his forehead and wreak havoc. This Vespa woman also has plans of her own, although those aren't completely made clear even when she explains them. At first, I thought the artwork was too simplified and sloppy, but the further I got into the book (which contains both volumes of the manga) I realized the art style actually suits FLCL in a dark-but-playful, weird way. It also differs from the OVA series' storyline toward the end in a way that still makes sense (in a Fooly Cooly kind of way), which I also liked. The artwork actually works with this story, which was pretty surprising (it often switches between complex and detailed to simplified and neat). I think this is a great addition to my manga collection. **** out of *****

Fue un regalo para mi hermano y le encantó!
