Editing FLCL (section)

=== Manga ===
A two-volume [[manga]] adaptation was created by artist [[Hajime Ueda]]. The manga interprets the series with certain elements altered and removed, and tells the events of the anime using a [[reductive art]] style and unsteady pacing. Jack Kotin defended the unique artstyle of the manga, saying "It can be crudely drawn at times, but this style fits in well with the overall story and atmosphere...".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/flcl-volume-1|title=FLCL, Volume 1 – Teenreads|publisher=Teenreads|access-date=August 4, 2013|archive-date=September 24, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924122105/http://www.teenreads.com/reviews/flcl-volume-1|url-status=live}}</ref>
