SATOSHI KON'S OPUS... are you reading a comic? are you in a comic? are you listening to a podcast?

The late Satoshi Kon is known for his anime like Perfect Blue and Paprika - movies where both the characters and the audience must constantly question the reality of what they're experiencing. But before Kon directed movies, he was a manga creator, and the unfinished Opus is his last work before jumping careers.

In many ways, Opus feels like a wind up to the metafictional playfulness of Kon's later work. But how does it stand as a story on its own? Raman and Ryan argue it out again.
