Every day until Christmas, I will dump a few oneshots from Garo Magazine.Join me as we explore the wonderful world of alternative manga from the 20th century.>what the hell is Garo?Garo was an influential manga magazine published monthly from 1964 to 2002.It was founded as a platform for avant-garde, experimental, and counterculture manga creators who were rejected by mainstream publishers, and was a starting point for many artists you've probably never heard of.Some of these stories are funny and whimsical, some of them shocking and thought-provoking, and some are incomprehensible pretentious nonsense. Try to keep an open mind, and feel free to discuss manga in general as well.

>>284511488Always nice seeing these author blurbs
this one feels very old, like if they asked an artist from medieval times to draw a manga
>>284511829reminded me of Impermanence Resonating: An Attempt at a SF Manga by Tsurita Kuniko
The End! Next story soon.
>>284511891i for one thought this rough linework looked like something from early 2010s webcomic
>>284511931That one was also posted alreadyhttps://desuarchive.org/a/thread/284246956/
>>284512018>lizard person manipulates evolution to harvest humanity>this was the mangaka's only workWhat did he know?
Purple MagicBy Takayama Kazumasa.
Oh wait this is Left to right.Sorry about that.
>>284513548oh my the the bar for art has been risen significantly
And that's it for today.

>>284511428Thanks for the info. Has any manga magazines inherited Garo’s position in the manga industry as a platform for alternative or avant garde manga? I’m not sure why it ended but it’s been 23 years.
>>284514231This was nice. I kinda want more of it.
>>284515064>Has any manga magazines inherited Garo’s positionProbably AX magazine. I don't know how much it sells but it's still around.As to why Garo died, by the 90s the whole alternative culture had lost a lot of steam, and then the founder and editor died in 1996.>>284515102I have other stories by the same author. But they have a completely different tone.
>>284514209The art in this story gave me strong otomo vibes.
>>284511488Wonder if he dreamed of making it as a mangaka or if this was just a hobby for him.
>>284512018This dude looks just like God from South ParkThat almost seems like a South Park joke too. God growing humans in a fish tank only to eat them for supper.
>>284514196This is like a pilot episode for some long running series that never came to be
>>284514231Thank you for posting.
>>284513548Seeing a Garo one shot with good art is surreal.
>>284513749Nice pair of heavy hangers right there.
>>284513809That is certainly a thing that happened.
>>284514231That felt like a premise oneshot for a serialization. Very Otomo inspired in the art department.
>>284515064Comic Ran and Comic Ran Twins are both built around being 'Gekiga throwback' magazines, but that mostly means looking like Goseki Kojima manga.
>>284511641Cozy
>>284513548For a second I thought this was the Summit of the Gods guy.
>>284514061Don't fall for it again!
>>284514231Thx mate.
>>284513548There's gonna be drugs, ain't it?
>>284515003This does look and read a lot like something that you would see published in Heavy Metal.
>>284512331>What did he know?I'm more interested in what they do in the Amagasaki Municipal Water and Sewer planning department
bump for readers
>>284516540I get what you're saying.
>>284517564kek that's a good way to put it
>>284516760man I forgot all about that
>>284522084Nooo, don't you know drugs are illegal in Japan?
>>284531626Literally me.
Day 16Ningyo, by Ayako Yamada.From the year 2000 (technically still the 20th century)
I'll tell you right now, this is basically porn. But not in a sexy way, nooo
>>284534034>the year 2000 (technically still the 20th century)No.
Maybe I should spoiler this
The EndWell that was disgusting. Next story will be a wholesome one to compensate.
>>284534431kinda sad, thanks op
what in the actual FUCK
bump for the fishies
Three Months Since You Called Me Mama By Nemoto TakashiFrom 1982
And for some reason 4chanX doesn't play nice with this godawful new captcha so I'm uploading one page at a time
And that's the End for today!
>>284531626Nice cock
>>284537528this one was great
>>284534186>>284534214We'd all do the same in his position.
>>284534284I knew it'd be a dead body, but didn't expect it to be his mother.
>>284534431There's nothing wrong with a boy loving his mother.
>>284537251little golem
>>284537341School logo looks like some type of Kama Sutra sex pose.
>>284537528That was cute.
A little longer
