A book a day: Shintaro Kago: The formidable Mongola invasion

The manga shows how the implementation of Mongols horses affects the course of history. To do this, it reviews, in well -differentiated chapters, several countries in different times (the conquest of Temujin, the creation of the first commercial routes that allow the discovery to be taken to the West, the Industrial Revolution, the First World War, the beginnings of the manufacture in the assembly chain, etc …) and recontextualizes figures such as Temujin (later known as Genghis Khan), Vasco da Gama, James Watt or Henry Ford.

This pot of pot does not only explore the delusional concept of Mongolian horses (with its origin, its historical route, its use, etc …), but also delivers other ideas equally extravagant, such as communication with vomiting, rope stores for suicides, labyrinthine trenches with a “maid cafe” or an electronic organ classroom, conveyor belts with naked women, etc.

Although The formidable Mongola invasion He does not take itself seriously, criticizes humanity, ready for everything in pursuit of progress, even if for this the natural resources of the planet must exploit or submit to various animal species.

The visual narrative of this manga does not show the originality that Kago is capable. However, its graphic section is as good as ever. And, in these pages, mangaka displays its usual level of detail, its elaborate framework and its imaginative architectures or anatomies.

In short, The formidable Mongola invasion It is a work as creative as fun. It will likely like the lovers of the uncomplexed hooligradas who suppurate black humor, and although it does not appear among the best of Kago (the bar is unjustly high!), It will comfortably satisfy the completeists of this unrepeatable author.
