Garo launched in 1964 as a rental magazine, becoming the crucible for gekiga's violent, adult storytelling that mainstream publishers wouldn't touch.
Shigesato Itoi's presence is fascinating—his Mother/EarthBound games directly inherit Garo's ethos of childlike wonder fused with genuine melancholy.
