{"product_id":"box-garden-beetle-9781953629456","title":"Box Garden Beetle","description":"Unfurling fields of morning glories and buttony polka dots. Wormholes of childhood memories and cabinets of magical curiosities. Balletic bands of laughter and creeping stippled shadows. Armies of insects and doppelgangers. An ethereal poetry of exquisite line and quiet space on one page, a surrealism of exploding form and whirling imagination on the next. Recognized both as a painter and as a master alternative manga artist whose early work was published by renowned alt-manga publisher Seirinkogeisha and lauded by masters like Seiichi Hayashi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Akino Kondoh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Glacier Bay Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781953629456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout The Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBorn in Chiba, Japan, in 1980.
