Oh! great, whose real name is Ito Ōgure (大暮維人 Ōgure Ito) is a Japanese manga artist most recognized for the manga series Tenjho Tenge and Air Gear. In 2006, he received the Kodansha Manga Award for shōnen for Air Gear. Apart from working with manga, he designed some of the alternate character outfits in the PlayStation 2 version of Namco's 3D fighting game Tekken 5, and a guest character in Soul Calibur IV named Ashlotte.
His pseudonym "Oh! great" is a play on words. His pen name, written in Japanese order, is "Ōgure Ito", which is pronounced similarly to and can be romanized the same as the Japanese rendering of the English words "Oh great," ōgurēto. Furthermore, "Oh" can mean "king" in Japanese, making it possible to read the name as "the great king".
I can't prove that Fujimoto read Biorg Trinity, but I choose to believe that he did. The vibes are kind of similar to chainsaw man. Ngl, I got lured in by Ito Ogure's character design, especially for character named Hosaka (every time I see him, I fangirl), but the story is funny, whimsical and packing a punch when needed. I can't wait to read the rest of the story.
Some thoughts on each chapter:
chapter 1. wtf is going on. You definetely need to power through this one, but it gets good.
chapter 2. ok this is kinda funny. also hiiii, hosa-kun ^__^
chapter 3. 1) kiwako is so cute. 2) the whiplash from the father story though… 3) lol this is just like spirited away 4) my jaw dropped at the last segment
chapter 4. hosaka and fujii are soooooo cute. they are so tiny!
Inaspettatamente piacevole. L'inizio completamente incomprensibile lascia con l'amaro in bocca, quasi con la sensazione "lascia perdere, non fa per te" ma vale la pena concludere il volumetto. L'ambientazione fantascientifica è davvero confusionaria. Col procedere della storia qua e là vengono rilasciate spiegazioni che permettono di delineare un quadro generale della storia. Futuro post apocalittico, bug umani (sì, bug umani, o meglio bio bug, avete capito bene) permettono alle persone che li possiedono di assorbire, letteralmente, qualcosa a loro piacimento e di trasformarsi in esso. Ovviamente l'assorbimento può ritorcersi contro il proprietario, mezza scuola può venire distrutta con l'unica conseguenza una vaga strigliata. Abbastanza realistico?
Do una possibilità al manga perché mi è davvero piaciuta la scena finale e voglio vedere cosa accadrà con la "fusione".
