The Birth of Kitaro

Kitaro is a little yokai boy, the last living member of the Ghost Tribe. Kitaro is a superhero and a monster and the stuff of legend in Japan. He has a single eye, and he can use his hair to fix problems in the world.

Kitaro is a graphic novel, manga. I read it all the way through, shaking my head, finally sharing a few pages with my husband, telling him, “This doesn't make sense.” It was only when I got to the last page that I realized I'd read the entire book backwards. So then I read it again. It does make better sense that way. Though it was still a story about a yokai boy who fights with his hair.
