I've kept Laughing Salesman (1989) with me for over a year now, because I'm really bad at finishing longer series. But also because I didn't want to give it up. I knew nothing about laughing salesman until 2017 when the Laughing Salesman 2017 short series came out. I loved the concept of exchanging one's desires to a geniee who would give you what you desired but at a price. He never harms children and I've noticed throughout this series he rarely harms women. Its mostly men he targets. I don't know if that has any real relevance in anything but I thought it was prettyinteresting.

This series reminds me of Jigoku Shouji in that these people are contracted to give up parts of themselves (aka souls) in order to recieve what they like. Mind you, they're not ushered to hell but time after time the punishment for their wish is much harsher than hell themself.

The Laughing Salesman is not an evil man. He is just doing exactly has it describes. He sales you whatever you want and laughs at your expense.

I truly love this series for its dark humor and still very relevant pokes at life. (Gay marriage, stresses on teen's testing, sexism, etc). And if anyone needs me to add more on why I'd recommend this to them I am always up for the challenge. I love this series, and if your looking for anything a bit dark this is for you. <3
