Thank you HappyScans!, good choice of manga!
... wait, what? What does the thrush have to do with his nightmare of an oni rumble?
That cabin seems very solitary. I like how the manga doesn't shy away from describing reality.
i like this kind of manga, mild topic served earnestly with a little bit of poetic phrase
Thanks for the update!
Is very different from what I usually read. Interesting.
It's got a faint Ashihano Hitoshi groove to it - probably because of the surreal, dreamlike quality of his life along with the tanuki. It also has a bit of that "we old timers wuz made of sterner stuff back in tha day!" which is less appealing to me, but not enough to significantly detract from my enjoyment. Followed.
What an unusual subject , i like it.
