A disturbingly funny manga about a plucky home aide tasked with caring for a series of bizarre patients, from one of Japan's most twisted and experimental cartoonists. 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." Black & white illustrations throughout. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Hard working home health aide Yukie Sakai is the protagonist of this odd collection of satirical horror stories featuring senior citizens. Each story starts with Yukie meeting a new client. Things escalate as bizarre scenarios involving body horror, super powers and even aliens are introduced. And when each scenario has been escalated to an over-the-top point of absdurdity, the story ends without dealing with any of the many, many consequences that would ordinarily have to be dealt with. Turn the page, watch Yukie meet a new client, and repeat.
Sure some social and political issues are addressed, but in the end this is just weirdness for weirdness' sake. ( )
