Gag manga

Here is another little piece of manga i made. This is also somewhat bizzare. Actually this definitely plays up to the gyagu manga genre doesn't it? All my manga strips and etc. are like that, and a lot of my conversations end up in that stream, if i am in a good mood that is. I really enjoy this kinda humor. Now for some interesting facts.

Kyosuke Usuta

The gyagu manga genre, or ギャグマンガ, is in existence primarily due to the existence of Kyosuke Usuta (うすた京介). Most famous of his works would be:

- "Sexy Commando Gaiden Sugoiyo! Masaru-san" (セクシーコマンドー外伝 すごいよ!!マサルさん)
A totally bizzare and hilarious manga. The story is about Masaru, a student who has perfected the Sexy Commando technique, and his friends who form a Sexy commando club. I find the story hard to explain because it's so crazy and because i haven't read the whole thing yet (^ ^);>. It was serialized in Shounen Jump Weekly (週刊少年ジャンプ) from 1995 to 1997. You can read some here.



- ピューと吹く！ジャがー (Pyuu to Fuku! Jaguar)
This one is about Kiyohiko, who is a pretty cool young man dreaming to be a great guitarist. However when he meets Jaguar his whole world kinda goes astray. Jaguar is a crazy character, and the manga features a lot of nonsense type of jokes. It is still being serialized in Jump, and started off in year 2000. I like this one better that Sexy Commando, but then again i haven't read it to the end so my judgement is invalid. Check it out at this link.


-武士沢レシーブ (Bushizawa Recieve)
I was not able to find this one on the net in english, and didn't even try to in japanese because i know i wouldn't be able to read it. BUT, i can say that it was serialized in Jump Comics in 1999. Since there is none on the net i am guessing this was not good enough to reach english audiences. But its uber amazing nonetheless probably. Plot summary will be coming soon and i will also try to get my hands on this one somehow.


Now that you have some understanding of what gag manga is (not understanding might be more appropriate though (^ ^) ), i present you a two page sketch, GOOD DAY FOR MARRIAGE DAY (read from top right to bottom left):
