Synopsis: Q-Ko Chan is written by Ueda Hajime, who also adapted FLCL into manga form. The story follows Kirio Muji, who doesn't care about anything, not even his sister. As he is walking home one day, an air raid begins (apparently a common occurrance in the world of Q-Ko Chan) but Kirio seems unfazed and continues home. Outside his home, he finds a robot girl who protects him from a barrage of bullets and then flies into a forest. From there Q-Ko Chan becomes stranger an...more

If you enjoyed FLCL then you may enjoy this manga short series which is only two volumes. The series is created by Ueda Hajime who also made FLCL and the resemblance between the two will be uncanny. The animation is simple and typical comic book animation, but the story is where it is lacking. The story is so confusing that I have absolutely no idea what it is about even after reading it. Your best bet is to read the summary at the back cover to make sense of things.
A surprising jump from his previous work in FLCL Fooly Cooly. It is madness in art and somewhat convoluted in story. Either way it is visual eyecandy that left me wondering what was going on. Not that its a bad thing will probably have to give it a couple more reads before passing a serious judgment.
The artwork is unusual for manga; I'm undecided what I think about this series until I get into the next volume.
Cool art and inventive layouts can't disguise the complete lack of a coherent story in Q-Ko-Chan. A pastiche of other kids-in-giant-robot manga, it doesn't have the sophistication of Evangelion or the genuine madness of FLCL (the comics version of which was also done by Ueda Hajime). A cute diversion at best.
I loved QKochan, the jellyfish, and the throat dong. Did I understand anything else? Not really. No mind, though. I wasn't expecting to.
