There is no moral to this story, and no sympathy in it. The theme is empty, and the content is immoral but unambiguous, keeping it neutral. The stories are direct, in disregarding beliefs. They represent the world of nature, being narrated through the eyes of two main characters. There is no savior, no beauty, and no hope, and no negativity about the absence of these.

Moralistic conclusions are nonexistent in this work, which makes it dispassionate. It's indifferent, and trying to tell a story about it.

Story 10/10
About beings of nature, however the methods are disconnected.

Preliminary
Honestly, the manga is strange, ugly, and yet weirdly charming in it's own way. The stories are disconnected and disjointed, but at the same time hilarious and unsettling. The author has her own story (unfortunately killing herself from likely stress from the popularity of this series, along with untreated manic depression) that I think definitely influences the darkness and surrealism of the story. But it's never 'dark' in a 'woe is us' way. It reminds me of what Jorge Luis Borges said of the comedic book Candide (I'm paraphrasing Borges here), 'the book undermines it's pessimism by the joy and creativity in the way it read more
