Welcome to the world... or, rather, worlds of Japan’s most darkly inventive and
disturbing manga author. A world where bandy-legged sideshow owners parade
their cannibal children as living exhibits. Fish that walk on metal legs, girls who
mutate and grow like living fungus. Spirals in the air, horrors in the ocean,
disembodied heads floating through the skies, a hole that was made for you in
the side of a mountain. And above it all, a vast, living star that consumes
everything it touches.
