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.

“Probably the first book I rate highly that has more or less dissolved my eyes and made my brain cry. I can literally not read this book for more than ten pages at a time, my eyes start protesting, something in my brain runs out through one of my ears. And it's also magnificent. It's pages and pages and pages of a seemingly endless parade and it's mad. There is no story here. But it also has the laser-sharp intention behind it of an artist who knows exactly what he wants to do.” - Goodreads (Alexander Peterhans)
"Every panel is utterly anarchic, overlaid with as much visual noise as a comic can muster."
- Matt Seneca, writing for The Comics Journal
