Kokoro no Kanashimi
2011-12-08
Rather more representative of the Nishioka siblings' writing style than Kami no Kodomo, this is a collection of one-shots that explore the thoughts and feelings of ordinary people in an odd, surrealistic manner replete with atypical and symbolic illustrations. More than one reading may be required if you are to completely grasp the core message behind each of these stories.The first story, A Broken Soul (translated here as A Broken Heart) was featured in the anthology Ax: Alternative Manga.
Yasoukyoku (Yaoi)
2011-01-14
The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain sexual themes, gore, violence and/or strong language. Discretion is advised. Shou is the illegitimate son who is mistreated by his family, while Takashi is clearly the favored son. Shou is being "used" by Takashi, but Takashi's fiance has fallen for Shou. Feels like a shoujo manga, but with a little bit of yaoi mixed in.There is a sequel to this manga called :Zensoukyoku it has not been scanlated yet.
