any news on the last chapter?
McKenna is in this manga.
This manga is so deep, it makes Inception look like a kiddie pool.
If you love magical-realism, acid trip/Pink Floyd - The Wall, psychedelic elements, this mangaka provides everything you need in that category. I don't think I have come across other manga artists who takes advantage in using panels in all sorts of way to portray a scenery and the protagonist's inner thoughts, in a very creative way before. He's able to fuse both elements and co-operate them into telling a well flow and thought-out story. It's like witnessing a motion-picture playing out through the paper. I wonder how it would be like if the mangaka do a re-telling of any fairy tales - with a twist of course, or even write a sequel of it. By the way, if you can, try and read the first volume without reading the description first.
The best manga i've read so far..
But the content is too much for my brain to handle
I am not even close to entirely understanding this and I love it.
this is the best argument both for and against taking drugs i've ever seen: they'll fuck you up, but they also might turn you into god
Ironically, it seams:
"Now... the
light is
sealed
away.
And it's
waiting for
release
