Shintarō Kago Libri

Yukie Sakai is a sprightly young home health aide eager to help her elderly clients. But what seems like a straightforward job quickly turns into a series of increasingly surreal and bizarre adventures that put Yukie’s wits to the test! Cartoonist Kago, who is well known for combining a more traditional manga style with hyper realistic illustration technique, an experimental visual storytelling approach, and outrageously sexual and scatological subject matter, has single-handedly created his own genre: “fashionable paranoia."

Devilishly funny, absurdist manga short stories about a sprightly home aide caring for a series of eccentric patients. In Vol. 2, Yukie boldly decides to join the resistance ― against a squadron of maniacal diapers hell-bent on taking over the world! A shorthanded hospital hires zombies to care for its patients, but … what exactly do they eat? When an old man creates a machine that causes out-of-body experiences, what could possibly go wrong? And why are children getting rocket launchers in their stockings? Three words: Santa has dementia!

"A collection of equally comedic and horrific short stories from one of the best-known horror artists in Japan today"--

Wagst du den Blick in die wahnsinnigen Cyber-Fantasien von Shintaro Kago? Fans von Junji Ito und H. R. Giger sollten es definitiv tun! In verschiedenen Kurzgeschichten malt dieser Sammelband eine düstere Zukunft, in der Biomechanoide für die verschiedensten Zwecke erschaffen und missbraucht werden. Am Ende haben alle Geschichten die klassische Frage gemein: sind die Biomechs lediglich gefühllose Maschinen oder schon denkende Lebewesen?
