Makibishi Comic is an atmospheric, quirky, and well-drawn point-and-click flash game created to promote the Japanese studio... Makibishi! You play the role of Asashin who is searching for five ninjas hidden across five different environments. Each stage is a new and creative area with multiple puzzles and scenes to experience. The end result feels like a stunning combination of Blue Suburbia, Hapland, and a point-and-click game, which is enough to make anyone excited.
Searching for hidden characters isn't always straightforward. In fact, rarely does it make any sense at all. In true anime-style, events in the story often have little or no connection, they just drop out of the sky, do their thing, and move on. A prime example is the bear charging from off-screen to fire a blast of energy at a gigantic gorilla. Logical? Nope. Entertaining? You bet.
The level of creativity in the design of Makibishi Comic is extraordinary. Not only are the levels crafted with unique gameplay mechanics (like the area where you rotate an entire planet), but exploring each one reveals loads of hidden gems that will make you smile.
Analysis: Makibishi Comic is filled with humor, great puzzles, and loads of amazing artwork. The style feels very much like an interactive comic strip and paints a complete (and surreal) world for you to explore.
On the down side, Makibishi Comic has a few painfully long loading screens. Chalk it up to slow servers, large files, or the physical distance across the sea to Japan, but you can expect to wait upwards of a minute for a few of the areas to load. I recommend using the quick-jump options at the top left of the screen, you can pre-load all of the areas before heading out to explore them, making your actual playtime a seamless experience. Also, the non-sequitur nature of events often leads to frustration, as you can never really tell what will trigger the next in the sequence until you start clicking. The [tab] key will be of great help to many.
With stunning artwork and a great atmosphere, this game will have you entranced for quite some time. Play Makibishi Comic.
Note: The old fashioned colored bars at the beginning of the game are just a load screen. Be patient and the title will appear! It's also worth noting that the game contains a few instances of inappropriate language and visuals for children, so play at your own risk.

Comments (may contain spoilers)
It isnt working on my computer, but it looks fun.
It took me a while to figure out what I'm supposed to do. Now it's just a matter of doing it.
Well that was fun. Very fun to look at.
Excellent... by the way, you can enlarge the window so it takes up the whole screen.
This is my kind of game!

amazing. one of the best games since samorost.
I am in the undreground deal and I keep playing the notes like it's written and nothing is happening! I am getting frustrated...the camera view wont' hold still!! ARG!
Is Warashimata supposed to be hard? I have no idea where/ who the green guy is. I break the baby's (?) earphones but nothing else happens o.o
I cannot find this stupid KEY in the fish's mouth in underground world! I keep clicking, but nothing happens! HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!
Problem on the level with the guy with the headphones and the gas mask...

The power of posting again. Turns out what I was looking for apparently only shows up if you maximize the window you're playing the game in. :-/
For the green guy thing: maximize your window and he will be at the very right
I just need to know how to expand to full screen because I can't see the top part of the big farting guy or the green guy, please post how.
OMG I finally finished. I did like it...although I don't care for scenes that keep moving and such. All in all a fun and beautifully artistic game!
how do you get past the first multi-color screen that shows the time in the top left corner and has some Japanese text in the middle?
Could someone please explain what to do on the initial test-bar pattern!?
I did it once, but I have no idea what I did.
Oh... nevermind
Yes, I agree with lecarl - one of the better games since samrost. I really enjoyed the fact that this game sometimes made NO SENSE! eg... why would a bear attack an ape? Is that a 'godzilla' thing?? But then at times it made complete sense as the ape was defeated through bananas! Just crazy!
Congrats to the creator. Job well done.
Loaded all the levels up, got through part of the monkey level, and firefox froze up on me after having complained several times about a slow flash script. grr. I give up.
Finished! I really liked this one ^^ Now I'll try to get a better place on the rank!
the green guy in the first one never comes!
Hello, how do you maximize your screen? Anybody?
finished! needed one hint, due to a bug (?) in underground land:

underground the fish never gave up the key until I left that land and went back. So i had to see in the spoiler that I needed a key from the fish to figure this out.
really fantastic game, though. among the best I've played!
Everytime I get to the monkey world and

For the programmer's info, if any of them are reading this, I'm using Firefox 2.0, I believe.
Akanemaru can be obtained in Warashiamata.
Gamadyu can be obtained in Sansungou.
Mashira can be obtained in Saegakure.
Mujina can be obtained in Chikamatsu Garden.
Gesshin can be obtained in Akatsuki.
You're Makibishisai/Asashin.
anyone managed to get a rank higher than A? is there an S rank?
PLEASE, somebody tell me, how do I MAXIMIZE my screen? That's all I want to know. How do I MAXIMIZE my screen? SOMEBODY! This is getting frustrating.
Very, very fun game: managed to finish in 37 minutes. :) I love the ending.

I couldn't find the very first makibishi ball!!!
i've got

I've followed all the steps in the walkthrough, but "singing" the song doesn't change anything for me. is it a bug or am I missing something?
for the choir:

hey, as no one posted this, no one has troubles like me in the t-rex world!
how

Does someone know what to do???
Please help me, because I already caught the other guys!
same problem as syen --
"I couldn't find the very first makibishi ball!!!
i've got green red yellow blue purple white and black!!
how?"


(2nd post.. I plan on finally starting to comment at jayisgames)
evelle, try turning off your pop up blocker, I belive that is the problem. When you click on them the game pauses and a window pops up so that is probably what happened.
ahhh, great! Thank you Bats! Now I finally could end this game! very nice game!
XanaS - On windows press F11 to maximize.
Harukio, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU. I give you a thousand kisses.
~;*

It's a great game, but I've gotten a bit stuck.

Help would be appreciated. I'm getting a bit frustrated here.
Sari Everna:

Thank you, Rendall! I got to finish it this time!
I'm having the same problem as syen and alien orb. Could the walkthrough writer please explain further?
This is rediculous, I finally manage to expand my screen thanks to Harukio and I still can't find the green guy on the first game. And the tab key doesn't help. Could it be my screens too small? Or did I miss a step? Click on the headphones 3 times then wait fro the green guy to fix them, that's what the walkthrough says, so what am I missing?
Btw Jay, as a new poster I want to thank you for your lovely site, wonderful games and great walkthrough's/tips
XanaS

Well that is just enough for me. No matter where I point and click there is no green guy. All I can click on is the man that talks, the singing twosome, the guy that flips on the back, and the one on the leg who throws cans. Wherever this green guy is, he's not on my screen. Thanks for all your help Harukio, I really appreciate it. I think I'll go play another game that works.
Im having the same problem!! I'm going by what the walkthrough says and i dont see a green guy! I dont understand why there wasnt an more detailed walkthorugh than the one we where given about how to find the green guy!! Seriously I just spent 2 hours on one level trying to find a green guy.........
I'm also having problems with Firefox AND Safari (yes, it's a mac) quitting when the second boss monkey goes to attack. Has anyone got a solution?
How did he/she make that flickering-colorbar loading screen? I wanna know, seriously, it's amazing!
excellent game... we need more games like this and samarost... beautiful art style
the first ball(!) how do you get it?
i like this game a lot! but the problem is, how do i get past the alien part? the writer of the walkthrough isn't that clear about the monkey and bone. i tried clicking on the orb and the thing next to it, but it wouldnt work. also, which leftmost device, by the way? please help! i need it!
to: "alien orb?" wen they say to light up the dots, go to the worshipping monkeys. there's a wall in front with dots. click to light them up. HOPE THAT HELPED!!!!
What do you click on once you have lit the dots?
The walkthrough says click on the bottom middle... click on the bottom middle of what?
Guys-the bone and the monkey. Give the bone to the closest monkey.
About the !GREEN GUY!-He is there, past the weird...child...thing. You have to expand the page to see him. Its a wide scene but the opening screen is too small. Just go to the edge of the pop-op screen and widen it.
MR.WILD BOAR MAN!!! HAHAHA, brilliant! XD this game just roxxorz mah boxxorz!
BTW, in the underground area, you have to click the fish's eye. One worker in the ant area sings "Fisherman's eye is 100 million volts la...la...la..."
I can't find the doll in the T-rex's stomach. D:
im in the city, i cant get in the house with the chinese writing, the screen that pops up doesn't load it keeps saying: loading -7
After some random tabs and enters, finally hit upon the green guy. You can see him if you maximize the window...
I don't know about you guys but my favourite shinobi was Gesshin (the green one). Not necessarily his level, just the char himself XD
Anyone else have a personal favourite?
Greenfourth: Nah, I just love the game.
It's the best game I've played on the internet of all time.
This was a fun game, though I must admit I needed the walkthrough to finish. The comment about turning off the pop up blocker should be added to the walkthrough as it stopped from getting anywhere in the Garden city with the T rex.
