Baku (ばく) is a manga by Hakase Mizuki (水月博士 Mizuki Hakase) that was published in Wings and has been licensed by Tokyopop.
"Baku is visually unique and has a story that flows like a dream or a nightmare. Fans who enjoy this strange style of manga will be glad to hear that the creator has many more titles under her belt, and Baku is a great place to start!" — Scott Campbell, activeAnime.[1] "Fans of supernatural and gothic romance will find that this is the comic for them." — Leroy Douresseaux, Comic Book Bin.[2] "All told, I can't really recommend Baku. Much of the material is a complete waste of time, and what remains is not really enough to justify a purchase." — Greg Hackmann, Mania.[3] "Through it all, Hakase's technique brims with emotional expressiveness: the look in a character's eyes, the tilt of a mouth, or even just the curl of a line can say all that needs to be said—anger, sadness, peace, and everything in between." — Carlo Santos, Anime News Network.[4] "Almost enjoyable, if you can get past the hero's tacky animal-print suit. That was just plain weird." — Sheridan Scott, Newtype USA.[5] "Readers used to seeing a manga loaded with panels, side jokes, and an overabundance of writing crowding each page might find this book a little jarring, but there's a real beauty to it that ought to catch you off guard." — A. E. Sparrow, IGN.[6]
