The Karman Line

Collecting the authors’ various short stories from a new indie manga anthology, Suika Toko no Tane, and introducing seven works with a unique, dreamy style as well as an afterword and two texts. Storys include: The Karman Line, Night and Voice, Blue Moment, Dream of Sand, Half Star Sky, Intermodulation, and Specimen Room of Existence.

Kotaro’s works pulse with a vibrant curiosity and subtle beauty. The figures in these stories exist in a place that is simultaneously unearthly and deeply known. Toeing up to, circumscribing, and traversing the wavering boundaries at the edge of imagination, these comics are a both a visual revelry and simultaneously a respectful, even somber, introspection into what it means to be human.
