Shintaro Kago: Surgeon, Comedian, Architect
Shintaro Kago: Surgeon, Comedian, Architect
Trying to label Kago as just a manga artist is like calling Cronenberg a cameraman. His best work pulls from medicine, comedy, industrial design.
The humor is surgical, the horror is spatial, the ideas are mechanically absurd. In one page, he might parody bureaucracy with exploding organs; in the next, he’ll diagram psychological trauma like a school chart.
He's building something — not just panels, but systems. And then he tears them down.
