Summary
Briefly about Billy Bat manga:
Billy Bat is a comic-in-a-comic and the real protagonist is a Japanese-American artist named Kevin Yamagata who draws Billy Bat for “Marble Comics”.Shortly after they transition to the artist in his studio with his assistant, two actual detectives, who look like Laurel and Hardy in Dick Tracy era suits and trench coats, knock on the door and appropriate Kevin’s room for the purpose of conducting surveillance on a room in an adjacent building. One of the detectives, the skinny “Laurel”, sees Kevin’s work and it turns out he’s a Billy Bat fan. The other chubby “Hardy” detective picks up a page and says that the characters look familiar and accuses Kevin of translating an old “Jap” comic.As Hardy remembers the comic he thinks Kevin is ripping off, we make another Urasawaesque time jump to 1949 Tokyo.Note: Won the Max und Moritz Prize for “Best international Comic” in 2014.

Took me about 50+ chapters to finally appreciate it but I eventually got there. Had the same problem with other pieces of entertainment so it’s not a knock against Billy Bat. Just mentioning in case anybody else is scratching their head after reading a handful of issues. If you still don’t dig it by the time you get to Golden Cola being mentioned then you can feel good about giving it up and not regret it. Otherwise, keep reading.
Should also mention, and I just had this thought while reading to the end of the series last week, that it’s so rare for a manga have one of the main characters be a black person. Rarer still to not have the black person be an absolute caricature of stereotypes. Billy Bat is very unique in plenty of ways and that’s one more checkbox it has for itself.
I don’t think Billy Bat is a masterpiece but it’s definitely its own thing and I struggle to think what genre it could, or maybe couldn’t, belong to.
who tf just releases 164 ch. on one go?
I’m absolutely shook rn
Every once in a year or so, I find a work so different from the rest that I have to sit there and really contemplate it.
This. This is it. This is art.
I requested this to be added because it is by the creator Naoki Urasawa who made 20th Century Boys,Monster and Pluto etc. Masterpieces as well.
I’ve read few chapters of this already and must say, it’s surprisingly done well
