Taiyō Matsumoto's

No. 5

translated/adapted to English by Michael Arias

A powerfully imagined vision of the future from Taiyō Matsumoto, creator of the Eisner Award–winning Cats of the Louvre and Tekkonkinkreet.

Matsumoto (Ping Pong) employs his experimental, artsy manga style to contagiously fun effect as he concocts a bizarre far-future world.

SF writer Brian Aldiss recently stated that science fiction should be classified as 'surrealism'. No. 5 certainly fits into this mould: it's got surrealism to burn.

— Ninth Art
