Old. Alone. Somewhere between unhappy and apathetic. You wake up one day and realize years have passed by and you are not where you want to be. Were you asleep the whole time? Was there a place you were meaning to go? Is it too late to change? Read this manga if you can relate. Tomioka is really incredible. He takes the reader on an adventurous journey with very strange, bizarre, and somewhat extreme twists and turns along the way. But even at its most exaggerated, the world feels too real. He's equal parts lucky and unlucky. There's a popular interpretation of the ending as a happyending, with one confusing panel. I have a different take. Every line of the last chapter had the unmistakable vibe. If you know, you know.
