ナンバーファイブ 吾 [Nanbā Faibu / No. 5]

Taiyō Matsumoto’s No. 5 is a surreal, eight-issue sci-fi saga from Shogakukan (2001–2005), following a renegade member of a global peacekeeping squad known as the "Rainbow Parade." With Matsumoto’s signature loose, expressive linework and dreamlike storytelling, the series blends psychedelic visuals with a meditation on identity and isolation in a near-future world. It stands as a cult classic for its bold, unconventional art style and its profound, poetic narrative.
