Art and literature historians of the future will be flabbergasted that Yokoyama existed in our time. He is a visionary on the level of William Blake. PLAZA is a parade of invention, set to the beat of turning pages.

Bigger, bolder, and louder than ever before, neo-manga artist Yokoyama Yuichi is back with PLAZA! Inspired by Carnaval in Brazil, PLAZA offers a maniacal extravaganza of marching, dancing, leaping, firing, cheering, smashing, and exploding over the course of 225 eye-and-eardrum-confounding pages. Originally published in Japan in 2019, this oversize English edition of PLAZA brings to full, hyper-animated life the spectacular graphic art of this genre-defying work of avant-garde comics.
"Every panel is utterly anarchic, overlaid with asmuch visual noise as a comic canmuster."
- Matt Seneca, writing forThe Comics Journal
“Probably the first book I rate highly that hasmore or less dissolved my eyes and made my brain cry. I can literally not readthis book for more than ten pages at a time, my eyes start protesting, somethingin my brain runs out through one of my ears. And it's also magnificent. It'spages and pages and pages of a seemingly endless parade and it's mad. There isno story here. But it also has the laser-sharp intention behind it of an artistwho knows exactly what he wants to do.” - Goodreads (AlexanderPeterhans)
