Gin's manga / #Absolute gem(2)

A man sets out on a journey to go away from his repetitive and boring life. He finds unbelievable things, terrible things. Note: This manga contains cannibalism.

Rather more representative of the Nishioka siblings' writing style than Kami no Kodomo, this is a collection of one-shots that explore the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people in an odd, surrealistic manner replete with atypical and symbolic illustrations. More than one reading may be required if you are to completely grasp the core message behind each of these stories. The first story, A Broken Soul (translated here as A Broken Heart) was featured in the anthology Ax: Alternative Manga.
