1975

In a surreal, post-apocalyptic Tokyo, a human and a humanoid cat wander through the city’s empty streets, reflecting on the fall of mankind and the rise of a strange new order. As they talk about extinction, memory, and the absurdity of modern life, their quiet walk becomes an eerie allegory of civilization’s decay and renewal. The story distills the experimental tone of early Garo, blending existential dialogue and surreal imagery into a haunting vision of a world where humanity’s reign has quietly ended. *It was published in Monthly Magazine Garo (月刊漫画ガロ) on August 1973*
