Holiday Review: GIGANT

This year saw the announcement of a lot of new titles from established creators.  Unfortunately, that included Hiroya Oku.

GIGANT (Giganto), by Hiroya Oku.  First published in 2017 and first published in North America in 2020.



PLOT:

Rei Yokoyamada wants to stop obsessing over movies and start making his own, but in his search for an actress he stumbles acrosss Chiho "Papico" Johansson, his favorite porn actress.  The two bond, giving Chiho a positive outlet away from her shitty, abusive boyfriend and the ungrateful step-family she's supporting.  Then things get strange when Chiho gets a strange device stuck upon her wrist that allows her to change size at will.  At the same time, a strange website with even stranger polls goes viral when whatever option wins happens, whether it's a popular actor streaking or poop raining from the sky.
