I am an Aya Takano fan and love her paintings. Looking at them feels more interpretive than narrative. This manga is like reading someone else's odd dream. What does it all mean?

The only aya takano book Im able to physically acquire atm w/o spending a bunch of money probably... So charming and esoteric and weird... I wish I cld more easily get a hold of some of her other books...
