Taiyo Matsumoto is a critically acclaimed manga artist whose unique fusion of European comics influence and Japanese storytelling has produced genre-defying works like Tekkonkinkreet, Ping Pong, and Sunny. His scratchy, expressive linework and emotionally layered narratives explore themes of youth, memory, and transformation. Matsumoto’s characters navigate liminal spaces—between innocence and corruption, fantasy and realism—with visual boldness and deep empathy. Revered for his artistic range and emotional depth, he bridges the worlds of literary manga, animation, and global visual culture.

This rare visual collection captures the raw energy and poetic strangeness of Taiyō Matsumoto’s early artistic vision. Neither a traditional manga nor a straightforward art book, it offers 100 pages of standalone images that blend surrealism, punk aesthetics, and urban alienation. Published under the Big Spirits Comic Special imprint, the book feels like a sketchbook crossed with a dream diary—unfiltered, emotive, and fiercely personal. Matsumoto’s hand is unmistakable: chaotic yet precise, playful yet profound. A cult artifact that charts the evolution of one of Japan’s most distinctive and genre-defying illustrators.
