Keiichi Koike is a Japanese manga artist renowned for his intricate, surrealist approach to storytelling. Fusing science fiction, psychedelia, and existential philosophy, his work explores altered consciousness, identity, and the fragility of reality. Titles like Ultra Heaven and Heaven’s Door showcase his meticulous linework and layered narratives, pushing manga into visionary, almost hallucinogenic territory. Deeply influenced by European comics, American underground art, and classic science fiction, Koike crafts immersive experiences that challenge narrative structure and perception itself. His singular style places him among the most distinctive experimental voices in contemporary manga.
