It’s not common to find a story about investment because it scares you in educating you about things. This is exactly what Shirakawa Marina did UFO mushroom invasionIt is known as a cult classic, and it mainly uses spore terrorist attacks. The UFO crash landed deep in the Japanese mountains. A strange creature emerged and a new type of infection appeared in the form of a spore that had the power to bring its own apocalypse.

- mansect go through Shinishi Koga (1975)
Insects are particularly effective storytelling metaphors. If used correctly, they represent human nature’s tendency towards ugliness and uncleanness. Shinishi Koga certainly explored this with his body horror comics mansectbut he then added more twisted size to the insect metaphor in the process. The book begins with a story about a man who collects insects. He was fascinated by them, and he considered them creatures worthy of particular admiration and even worship. His neighbors have rejected him, guessing whether his collection reflects his serious dealings with the deaths of family members. One day, he was cut and a strange cotton began to seep out of the wound. Slowly, he became a humanoid insect, and like a ghost, his existence could greatly change the biological composition of the village where he lived.
mansect Use the opening story as the basis for the story that happened later. The consequence of the transition there is the establishment of creative horror situations that are merely based on insects as a storytelling mechanism. Trauma, sadness, loss and loneliness are added to the mixture here, and they let their presence know. In a story, a girl becomes friends with a large insect who likes to play hide-and-seek with her. Her family then eventually discovered that the insect was sucking blood at the measured dose. In another story, a boy picks up a cut-off hand and starts aging unnaturally. These are just some of the stories that stand out from the first one. They remind people of the horror classics of body Cultivate heart (1979) and fly Remake (1986). Coincidentally, both movies are directed by the Body Horror Master David Cronenbergwhich suggests that the narrative kinship between these works is intended to be further studied. mansectThe short stories have a profound tragedy and sadness, and they ask readers to consider how judged neighbors make monsters from people who do not fully meet arbitrary social standards. It is a difficult reading that articulates its point of view in a subtle confrontational tone that is not afraid of human cruelty.
