I just ran across Taiyo a few weeks ago and took a chance on Tokyo These Days. The simple story. The art. Can't say why, but I instantly fell in love with it. I am not a lifelong manga reader. This book was my entry into it, but I am obsessed with reading more. Thanks for this video!
I also heavily reccomend Zero, basically one of his most obscure works ever but surprisingly easy to get into. Similar to Ping Pong it's a sports manga but more to revolves around boxing
Got into Matsumoto through the Ping Pong anime, and I can't wait to read some of these. Hoping to start with the Ping Pong manga and Tekkonkinkreet. I hadn't heard until watching this video that we're finally getting a new printing of No 5, so I might get that before Tekkonkinkreet. I also somehow didn't know there was a Tekkonkinkreet movie, what?!
Sadly Tekkonkinkreet wasn't my cup of tea. I felt like I need to be drunk to understand it sadly. Especially since here in Germany we have a really nice HC edition of it, which actually sold really badly. I still try to get into his works. I guess my next try will be either ping pong or sunny, since they sound more like titles I could get into.
Very good video! I've been working through Matsumoto's catalog recently and he's already become one of my favorites with Ping Pong and Cats of the Louvre. Just found a copy of Blue Spring and I'm looking forward to getting Sunny early next year!
I am as you a really big fan of Taiyou Matsumotos work and i got here by wanting to see different opinions.And let me tell you i fell in love with your commentary, you're really skilled with using words and phrases in a context.I subscribed immediately,good luck with the channel ✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧
Which one did you get or still deciding? I watched Tekkonkinkreet and was considering its manga, but it seems OOP by now. Considering No. 5 now as a first Taiyo Matsumoto read because of action/sci-fi ...and read somewhere that artwork is better than e.g. Ping Pong. Plus, one should t judge a book by its cover but the No. 5 Viz covers look so goooood :)
My friend from Korea showed me Matsumoto and my life has never been the same since
The 🐐 of mangatube back again with another banger 🔥

Tekkonkinkreet changed my life.
I should have bought tekkonkinkreet two years ago! I refuse to pay reseller prices when I know these books are not OOP
Sunny is freaking amazing. I love it.
This was a good video 👌
I was lucky to get my hands on Gogo Monster before it went out of print! Good video
i recommend takemitsuzamurai by him, just started it and im hooked its peak fr

I recommend going on the movie before reading the books, the book is a hard one to read, but it gets easier if you saw the movie

Yea, tekkonkinkret is a very confused story.
I nearly have it all including Gogo Monster. Just missing Blue Spring

Big miss not to show any artwork from the mangas

Which one did you get or still deciding?
