Canti is one of those characters that just sticks with you—his design in 'FLCL' is iconic, and his arc is surprisingly deep for such a chaotic series. Unfortunately, finding legal free sources for manga or anime can be tricky. For 'FLCL,' the manga spin-offs featuring Canti aren’t as widely available as the anime, which is officially streamed on platforms like
Crunchyroll or
Hulu (with ads/subscriptions). Some libraries offer free digital manga access through services like Hoopla, so it’s worth checking there. Unofficial sites exist, but I’d always recommend supporting the creators if possible—maybe catch a rewatch of the anime and soak in that glorious Gainax animation again!
If you’re specifically after the manga, the 'FLCL Omnibus' collects the stories, and while it’s not free, it’s often discounted digitally. I stumbled upon a copy at a used bookstore last year and nearly cried—it’s a gem. The anime’s soundtrack alone is worth revisiting; The Pillows’ music pairs perfectly with Canti’s silent, screen-smashing heroics.
