Oh how I wish I could be as insane as Douman Seiman.

I mean, just look at this dialogue at the start of chapter 2:

Girl: I have a friend who's dating a tiger.

Boy: What?

Girl: A tiger. A tiger in the zoo. The other day she was saying she got to first base with him. She was all excited.

Boy: First base? You sure he wasn't just starting to eat her?

Girl: You really don't understand how a girl's heart works.

1 star.
This felt less like a manga and more like a chaotic fever dream somebody forgot to edit. Weird pacing, shallow characters, random edgy moments for shock value, and absolutely no emotional payoff. I kept waiting for it to become interesting and then suddenly it was over. Genuinely exhausting to read.

usually surprising, which is kind of my main criteria for manga, but felt pretty flat for some reason. voynich hotel is one of my favorites, so i was surprised... which is kind of my main criteria for manga...

Douman Seiman remains the only author to make me cry in less than 5 pages, with less than 50 words. An absolute master, Nickelodeon is where I think his talent for concision remains the strongest.

Collection of random lighthearted stories, mostly a bit gory, but at least random enough to be unpredictable.

I cannot get enough of Dowman Sayman's genius and unique art style. More, more I must have more!
