10 months agoIn the manga series Gantz by Hiroya Oku, the author inserts discussions by people on chat message boards about the protagonists. Often these message boards deride or dismiss the protagonist’s actions which become growingly known worldwide. This further projects his feelings of isolation and foreshadow his character growth while also acting as a social commentary on modern culture.
This reminds me of Frank Herbert’s Dune where the chapters are broken up by journal entries by the Princess Irulan.
