Ships in 1-5 business days: A 67-year-old newcomer debuts! A miraculous first collected volume!
Praised by professional manga artists
An overwhelming raw talent!
Han Kakusei, a 67-year-old newcomer, caused a stir in the industry by winning a newcomer award for his shocking work "Man Living in the Mountains."
This is his miraculous first collected volume, featuring 6 one-shot stories that are praised by professionals for their surging initial impulse and unique worldview!
Ryoichi Ikegami is amazed!
"It's manga, but it transcends the boundaries of manga, leaving a profound aftertaste!
The poison, the madness of the characters, the unsettling feeling that warps common sense,
and the eroticism... It's reminiscent of the absurdist literature of Kafka or Camus. A unique talent!"

Regarding the title of this book,
it has a powerful impact, like "Ancient Beast Discovered in Hokkaido's Primeval Forest!"
but it's a bit embarrassing...
I was born in Hokkaido and still live in the Tokachi region.
Becoming a manga artist was my dream since I was in first grade.
However, my drawing skills didn't improve, and I couldn't create any stories,
so I gave up by the time I entered high school.
Even though my dream was shattered, I had to go on living.
I obtained a license as a judo therapist and opened a bone-setting clinic.
However, the number of patients was very low...
