I like Golgo 13 artstyle. How good is it? Is it episodic or there's a continuous story?

From what I know, it's 100% episodic

gekiga can be pretty cool, yeah

Did you copypaste that list from some random website? You obviously don't read enough gekiga.

gekiga is pretentious drivel for people who like huffing their own farts

A lot of old Manga was episodic, such as Violence Jack. This contradicts what a lot of weebs expect out of anime and manga now a days, a coherent plot.

can it come back?

It's almost purely episodic. Togo is pretty much just a force of nature the whole manga and the plot is whatever's happening around his latest job.

I really enjoyed hyaku monogatari by sugiura hinako. is there more translated stuff from her?

Onward to our noble deaths was pretty good

Gekiga is based.

I wish it had a proper ending and we got to see Togo's later life

Banana Fish kind of counts doesn't it?

Gekiga is still alive.

Gekiga is technically what foreign comics all are. It's that Alan Moore style. So it's pretty alive. Gekiga is like seeing what manga would be if it wasn't really like manga, and was more like comics.

Archie is my favorite gekiga.

Gekiga bled into seinen

Haha, Archie is closer to foreign manga though, the Sonic shit has manga expressions all over it. It was always sexually confused over if it wanted to have a manga or gekiga look, american comics are just a complete mess due to laws and religion and politics having kidnapped and passed them around like a McCann girl
