Synopsis "No. 5, Vol. 3 "

A powerfully imagined vision of the future from Taiyo Matsumoto, creator of the Eisner Award-winning Cats of the Louvre and Tekkonkinkreet. In a world where most of the earth has become a harsh desert, the Rainbow Council of the Peace Corps has a growing crisis on its hands. No. 5, one member of a team of superpowered global security guardians and a top marksman, has gone rogue. Now the other guardians have to hunt down No. 5 and his mysterious companion, Matryoshka. But why did No. 5 turn against the council, and what will it mean for the future of the world? The old allegiances and friendships have been broken and the Rainbow Brigade now faces disbandment. No. 5 has eluded or killed every member of the Rainbow Brigade that has come after him so far, but now No. 3 closes in on him and is determined not to let any sentiments for his former comrade cloud his judgment. Elsewhere, No. 1, missing for over a month and struggling to understand what to do with his power, heads for a fateful meeting with No. 2.

Taiyō Matsumoto es un mangaka japonés nacido en Tokio en 1967, reconocido por su estilo visual experimental y su enfoque narrativo introspectivo. Su obra se caracteriza por romper con las convenciones del manga comercial, combinando influencias del cómic europeo con una fuerte carga emocional. Alcanzó notoriedad con títulos como Tekkonkinkreet y Ping Pong, donde explora la psicología de sus personajes a través de trazos expresivos y composiciones poco convencionales.

A lo largo de su carrera ha consolidado un catálogo diverso que incluye obras como Sunny y Tokyo These Days, esta última a veces referida como Tokyo Days. Su trabajo ha sido ampliamente reconocido en Japón, destacando premios como el Shogakukan Manga Award, lo que reafirma su influencia en el medio. Matsumoto es considerado un autor de culto, admirado por su capacidad de retratar la soledad, la infancia y la vida urbana desde una perspectiva profundamente humana.
