Manga Q-KO-Chan

[desertphoenix]

I've just got into the series Q-ko-chan:Earth Invader Girl and finished 2 volumes. The art wok was by Ueda Hajima(same person who did the FLCL manga) and i love the art style.

The story is about a boy named Kirio comes across a girl who [spoiler] is an alien robot that can turn into a giant mech, which he uses to fight other alien beings. [/spoiler] I find this manga a bit more confusing than FLCL, but who knows, maybe it might make more sense the 4th time around. Well what kind of makes me angry about the whole series is that [spoiler] It's rumored to only be 2 volumes long. And the story really doesn't seem to come together well.[/spoiler] Overall, i don't really know why this manga sticks out to me.

P.s. no clue is a thread already exists for this. Hey, we all have to make a gamble sometimes.

[color=darkblue][size=1]A good way to know whether a thread already exists or not would be to check the Manga Workshop Directory located at the top of the forum. We place a link to all titles that have a thread here.

There's no thread for this title yet, so you're in the clear. ;)[/color][/size]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]This manga was great just for being so strange and really screwing with me. It's got a very cinematic feel to it and is very creepy. It's been a while since I read it so i can't remember his name, but the main character kid is really what pulled it together for me. The callousness of his being and the general aura he gave were what kept me interesting.

Honestly, though, the ending made me mad. I've heard of open-ended, but that made no freaking sense.[/COLOR]

I like the book for the same reasons yous said, buy honesty WTF. I know a good ending is supposed to have something to leave you thinking, but[spoiler] you don't just end a book at the peak of a climax with the main plot so left open. (i not sure if this is spoiler worthy).[/spoiler] I wonder if this is how FLCL ties into this as it makes a lot a references to climaxes.
