There is literally nothing i would change about this manga. If you asked me to change something, anything, about this work i would flat-out refuse to do it. That's not to say it's flawless, it's just to say that it's the kind of art you shouldn't touch. The characters are very grotesque. They're crass, crude, utterly bizarre and believably ineloquent. Many are selfish, some are downright psychotic... one or two are credibly naive and incredibly altruistic. They're all the sorts of people I've brushed shoulders with all through my 20s and early 30s living on the fringes in the pacific northwest, the kinds of people societylikes to pretend don't exist like it didn't chew them up and spit them out there. It's their very insanity that makes the plot of this manga, which is utterly surreal, feel somehow believable. This all happened. It didn't all happen to the same person, but it's all happened to someone.

I love this manga. It's absolutely not for everyone. Some will find the art ugly, the characters off-putting, the story too gross to follow... it's all stuck with me ever since i first read it, in a way very few pieces of media have done. Please give it a chance. On my word, it's worth it.
