O
n the back of all manga published in America, there is a rating. Some publishers, such as Tokyopop, also indicate why the manga received that rating.
Domo: The Manga
is rated
A
for
All Ages
, and really, all ages will enjoy the adventures of Domo.
H
owever, it is the
May Contain
part of the rating that really sums up the
Domo
experience:
Slapstick Humor
.
Domo
contains six shorts filled with slapstick as the brown, rectangular, only-
Domo
-saying, fingerless monster gets carried away in all of his endeavors, much to the chagrin of his fellow forest folk.
D
omo
is the creation of Tsuneo Goda. In his first foray into
Original English Language
manga, Domo's character comes out truly through Clint Bickham's stories. While four different artists (rem, Sonia Leong, Lindsay Chibos, and Jared Hodges) illustrated Bickham's stories, they all stay true to the
Domo
ideal with bright colors, bold lines, and great facial expressions.
Domo
is an excellent pick-me-up kind of manga.
