ChurchHatesTucker ☑#MangaMonday 71 “Dra-Q” by Chiyo
Pako is a high school delinquent. Amelie is a vampire. They fall in love. He makes out with her severed head.
Alas, this sexy, funny, gory #manga only got three volumes (Kodansha) so any more details will spoil a large percentage of it. The story is a bit rushed, but it wraps up well enough. It’s just obvious that, going by the barely introduced characters, we could have easily gotten several more volumes.
Chiyo is no slouch at drawing memorable characters, but the backgrounds really stand out here. They use photographic screentones, which is not uncommon these days. What is unusual is the extent and the framing. Almost every background that’s shown started as a photograph, and a lot of them are unusual angles (bird’s-eye view, worm’s-eye view, etc.) There’s some image manipulation—the moon is shown heart-shaped a few times—but photoshop can only do so much. Someone had to get into odd places to get some of these.
