The Karman Line

Collects the author's various one-shots published from 2014-2019 in manga magazine Suika Toko no Tane. Introducing seven works with a unique, dreamy style: 1. The Karman Line 2. Yoru to Koe (Night and Voice) 3. Blue Moment 4. Suna no Yume (Dream of Sand) 5. Hanten no Hoshizora (Half Star Sky) 6. Intermodulation 7. Ari-kan no Hyouhon-shitsu (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 both a visual revelry and a respectful, even somber, introspection into what it means to be human.
