Howdy! I'm Takashishiful, and this is my webcomic, 'Background Boy'! I started this comic in 2016 to parody tropes and cliches I see in movies, TV shows, and most prominently, anime, manga and video games. This four-panel comedy series follows Background Boy, a background character who appears in the uh, background of the lives of more important, more interesting characters. The most important thing you need to know about him is that he isn't important, or interesting.

All the descriptions of these comics are from their original post date! I plan to add additional updated commentary soon to some pages as I see fit!
