My personal favourite manga writer teams up with one of Japan's greatest manga artists. The result is Adam to Eve, a newborn classic that filled my desire for more absurd, provocative and innovative works such as Ichi the Killer. This manga achieves all merits; it is easy to follow, has a superficially simple but captivating (and esoterically charged) story and is filled with iconic scenes. It's relatively short, but due to its great pacing, it doesn't feel incomplete or lacking in any way. I also can not overstate how gorgeous this manga looks. It's certainly the most beautiful art i've seen from Ikegami so far. The artwork aims forrealism, but all characters have distinct designs, often manifested in subtle ways. Even the extras can all be easily recognized.

No more words needed. I just wish Takashi Miike would turn this into a movie. 10/10
