Palepoli goes beyond the framework of standard four-panel manga and views its structure in new ways. Actually, Furuya knew nothing of conventional manga styles and methods when he started Palepoli. As a result, he created something that bore little similarity to other manga. Note: A portion of Palepoli (26 pages) was featured in Secret Comics Japan by VIZ Media on July 6, 2000.
