I know the manga is definitely Horror and originally Japanese from the 2010’s onward from what I can tell from the art style, it’s completely monochrome and there’s a heavy focus on the hatching and pointillism for shading. I have no idea what the title is since I first read it a year ago and it’s in a foreign language, I only know basic Japanese so I was barely able to understand the dialogue. The manga is a sort of ‘collection’ of one shots mashed up together.
The ones I can remember is one about a little girl turning into a monster of mashed up metal and gears after conjuring a disease. I can’t remember anything else but I do know the ending has her parents or someone close to her commenting how unfortunate her life was to turn into a monster or something along those lines.
Another one is about the last two surviving men at the end of the world, one of the men gets pregnant (no, I’m not joking) suddenly from a beast or something and gives birth to this creature or thing. The man who gets pregnant is some skinny dude with black hair and the other dude is this musky fella, with muscles and dark-colored hair but it’s dubious because of the black and white art style.
The last one I remember is one about a doll maker, making a doll that resembles a woman with blonde hair and white skin. When the doll finds out she has organs, she rips them all out while saying they’re ugly and useless. The doll dies and the doll maker is just annoyed since they’ll have to construct her all over again. This is one of the only oneshots that has color if I recall correctly.
I’ve been dying to read this manga just one more time because how batshit insane it sounds just describing it. I know I found it randomly on this site, but I can no longer find it because my older account is defunct and it’s probably the saddest thing that’s ever happened to me in years.
Any and all help is appreciated, thank you! (▰˘◡˘▰)
