Most thoughts have an easily discernible meaning and purpose to them, but sometimes you'll have a strange thought with an unknowable origin that will probably be forgotten just as easily as it was created.

Invitation from a crab is a collection and exploration of these thoughts. The stories in this book are nonsensical and confusing, but ultimately interesting.

I find it hard to review something like this in a conventional way. Most manga I can come up with a score based on feeling and be confident in it but this isn't your normal manga. I can't score it conventionally because the product isn't made conventionally. The most ... I can do is score it vaguely and say what kind of person I think would enjoy this so-o.

I would say this book is for those with an interest in works that aren't bound by conventional wisdom. It is for those that aren't afraid to buy a book because it looked interesting. It is for those that have gotten bored of your usual manga fare. I hope those that are reading this can determine whether or not this is for you by what I have said. Have a good day.

What can you do in 16 seconds? Drink a glass of water? Walk to the bathroom? Or you could watch Petting a Dog! The whole thing is on Vimeo just look up the animators name and you'll find it. In terms of enjoyment per volume I would say this does a pretty great job at entertaining. It's got just enough intrigue to really justify the 16 seconds that it takes up. An animation like this just goes to show that something doesn't have to be long to be worthwhile. So I would say take a minute out of your day to watch this fun little ... animation you won't regret it.

7/10 Good.

As someone who hates alcohol I found this show to be horrible and greatly disturbing. The show is all about a MAN constantly taking advantage of his SEX SLAVE (read as wife) by using DRUGS such as alcohol to loosen her inhibitions so he can RAPE her, EVERY NIGHT. Now our girl Chisato wasn't always a horrible drunk, but she was made that way by a MAN.

The origins of Chisato's alcoholism is revealed in a flashback later in the series. Back when she didn't have a crippling alcohol addiction, then everything changed when a MAN introduced her to alcohol as a fun thing to drink. ... He lured her in with a sweet alcoholic dessert then as the night went on he continued feeding her these sweet cocktails until she passes out drunk in the bar (I bet that MAN RAPED her while she was passed out). From that moment it is all down hill for Chisato as she is addicted to alcohol now and is all but forced to marry the MAN that started her addiction in the first place. He used alcohol to start her addiction and then using her FORCED addiction he continued to string her along with alcohol until she became his SEX SLAVE (read as wife) and sugar mommy so he wouldn't have to work (truly this show is nothing but RAPE CULTURE propaganda propped up by the PATRIARCHY).

These tragic events lead to the series proper in which each episode we see this STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN come home to her leach of a husband who feeds her alcohol until her inhibitions are loose enough that he can RAPE her. That is pretty much the story for every episode. The only saving grace of this anime is that it is so short.

At a merciful run time of 3 minutes every episode, which is thankfully cut even shorter by the 30 second outro of a fun little ending song with a cute lemon person riding a motorcycle (The only good part of the show in my opinion), I still cannot recommend this to anyone but pedophiles, racists and republicans, after all RAPE is still RAPE no matter how long it lasts. I really liked the little lemon person though so I am adding plus one to the overall rating of the show, and with that I give "RAPE is like a FORCED ADDICTION" a 2 out of 10 and a recommendation to skip it.
