Nightmare scenario: what if for some reason every artist in Japan went missing, except for
Nobuyuki Fukumoto. This WTF Wednesday is a brief taste into this particular scenario, and don’t worry, it's only brief. Now let me first tell you that Fukumoto is a fantastic mangaka; however, some of you might have a problem with this man’s art style. Fukumoto created such manga as
Akagi,
Kaiji, and
Gabling Emperor Legend Zero. He is very well known for his deep psychological gambling manga, and his famous onomatopoeia “Zawa”, which is a way to express an uneasy atmosphere.
Fans at 2ch decided to dive headfirst into this scenario by drawing some of our favorite characters in Fukumoto’s style. I personally applaud Fukumoto for trying something different. Not to mention he is the only man fighting the moe movement by himself; and that takes guts.
