(I've 4 of 5 stories so far) I've been trying to find some old mangas recently and other than drifting classroom, this is the only other manga of Kazuo Umezu that I have read so far. Its good in terms of storyline and Sou as the main character feels as he could be utilized in more stories. The artwork is typical Kazuo Umezu i.e the characters with big eyes. But the stories are also very violent and often sometimes grotesque, for the 80s I can imagine this was seen as "normal" perhaps? And my enjoyment is more of understanding what the audience of the 1980s wanted in termsof manga regarding seinen, horror, violence, etc. But I feel this type of manga would be banned or at least be seen as controversial for 2020s.
