There’s this manga I’ve been reading lately and one of the things that caught my eye about it is the dust jacket of the graphic novel volumes:
Do you see the perspective trompe l’oeil? Pretty neat right?
The artist, Yusuke Murata of Eyeshield 21, created a pretty neat perspective trick on the flap of his new manga series with author ONE called OnePunch-Man. Apparently, this isn’t the first time Murata’s pulled some perspective tricks. Check out his “manga” posted through Twitterand translated in English, courtesy of Crunchyroll .
For those curious about the OnePunch-Man manga, it’s a story about a normal-looking guy who’s become so powerful that he ends all his fights with one punch. Without the excitement of battle, the struggle to become better, and becoming sadly bald – our hero has reached the top and is frankly miserable. OnePunch-Man is a comedic story poking fun at superheroes and the superhero genre with this unconventional main character who just wants to grow his hair back… and maybe fight a battle-to-the-death. Will he ever find happiness?
