I‘m a bit behind with this challenge but I‘m having a lot of fun with it. Especially with this bizarre book 😋

If you‘re a fan of horror or Junji Ito I‘m sure you‘ll get a kick out of this book. Fantagraphics have put together a beautiful edition. Rachel Matt Thorne has done a fantastic job with the translation. And there‘s even a bit of an interview in the back of the book, paired with fantastic full colour images.
Kago‘s work ranges from bizarre to disturbing to silly. Each chapter is a new, wild scenario where health aide Sakai cares for a strange elderly person or people. Some have crazy powers, others seem possessed. It‘s always a wild ride to see where Kago‘s crazy mind goes next.
