COMICLOUD Editor's Review
[Kanchi]
The David Lynch (director of movies like Eraserhead or Twin Peaks) of manga, Shintaro Kago, is here! Works of contemporary art that exceed the scope of manga. The strange sensation of cynicism mixed with erotic and grotesque themes put into one frame stirs up the reader's imagination.
You'll certainly be haunted by nightmares after reading this. It's a must-see for people who like scary things.
