If you're looking for a love story, this isn't it. But if you want an extremely successful psychological horror oneshot, this is perfect.
If you're a fan of creepy psychological stories like me, these are keywords that might draw you in: body horror (extra limb), choking/throat trauma, violence, memory loss.
I adore this author's art, but the panels can sometimes be a little hard to decipher due to excess in detail with some lack of visual guidance. However, this is a re-read sort of story anyway; you'll figure it out.
The initial premise is intriguing on it's own: the guy has a third arm that grows on him!
...
Neat. You don't get to learn a lot about the main character, but his role in the story is delightful and I end up adoring him by the end. The featured character (arm man!) is a delight, he's funny and loud and full of charisma. Which makes for delicious contrast when the story shifts into something darker.
It's short, maybe a 3 minute read, and it doesn't have the space to delve too deep into anything, but the gruesomeness of the violence and the complex emotions in the ending make it satisfying and vaguely haunting. Well worth a read.
