Kon still has yet to be ousted as my favorite anime filmmaker *by I***E on December 19, 2014* Satoshi Kon still has yet to be ousted as my favorite anime filmmaker, though he passed away a few years ago. I usually don't preorder items on Amazon, but I didn't actually think this book would ever be published so took a chance. Most of Kon's work is difficult to find, but his vision is much more mature than what most people expect out of anime and manga.Opus is very similar to Kon's anime work that came out around the same time (Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress; there's even a reference at one point in Opus to the author's work on Katsuhiro Otomo's Memories). The plot is full of portal-to-another-world metafiction and centered on its own sense of being self-referencing. You can at times feel that the protagonist is Kon himself, and though Opus is less preachy than Paranoia Agent, the story does reach the same level of intelligence. The message is clear, and at no point do you feel that you are reading an author's early work (in fact, this was Kon's last long manga). It's gripping, it's unusual in the way it tells its story, and because of the story, the art is required to be careful in its development (the world's perspective, the backgrounds, are deliberate, and need to be for the story to work).I'm glad someone took the time to reprint Kon's written work, and for those who like a tight, clear story instead of fifty volumes of manga, this is exactly what you should consider purchasing. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Characters jump off the page *by B***S on September 13, 2015* The manga itself is great. I was a huge fan of Paprika and Tokyo Godfathers. This did not disappoint. It has Kon's unique style and is incredibly visual. The characters jump off the page and are dynamic. It kind of reminds me of Bret Easton Ellis' Lunar Park. Both stories are very well told.Book itself was just a wee bit damaged when it arrived at my door, but nothing serious. Edges of the paperback were a bit mangled and there appeared to be an indentation from a pen on the cover when viewed from the side. If I were buying this book in stores, I probably would not have chosen this copy. However, you get what you get online!I especially love the last 2 chapters of this manga. They are unfinished and show what a work in progress manga is like. It's very special to get to see them. ## Frequently Bought Together - Satoshi Kon: Opus - Tropic of the Sea - Dream Fossil : The Complete Stories of Satoshi Kon --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10259027-satoshi-kons-opus-paperback-december-9-2014](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/10259027-satoshi-kons-opus-paperback-december-9-2014) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
