Description
Foreign Bodies
Book Summary
Shintaro Kago, master of ero guro, returns with a collection of stories that defy all limits. "Foreign Bodies" is a violent and grotesque social satire where reality is distorted: exploding screens, carnivorous pandas, and skyscrapers escaping into space. Through bodily mutations pushed to the extreme, the author rewrites episodes of human history with black humor and overflowing imagination. An essential work for fans of the most transgressive manga.

Editorial review
"Foreign Bodies" is a work that solidifies Shintaro Kago as a benchmark for the most radical manga. His proposal, which combines social criticism with a grotesque and erotic imaginary, may be shocking to uninitiated readers, but it offers a unique experience for those looking for narratives that break the mold. The Ponent Mon edition maintains the graphic quality necessary to appreciate the detail of the drawings. An essential title to complete the collection of any fan of auteur manga.
