Synopsis

In a certain food container factory, suggestive rumors about Mako Higari say that she will sleep with anybody. Her coworker Kinoshita believes this, so testing his luck, he strikes up a conversation with Mako, and the two eventually end up in a hotel room.

Soon, the pair are ready to have sexual intercourse. However, the night quickly does not go as planned—while engaged in the act, a stream of blood suddenly gushes out of Mako's nose! Mako explains this frequently occurs whenever she comes into physical contact with anything impure. Finding it unsettling, Kinoshita runs away and leaves Mako back at square one.

Botabota follows Mako's journey toward obtaining a normal life where all her unfulfilled desires are achieved—which proves difficult when everyone and everything she touches is filthy one way or another.

"In this world, everyone is made the same. They all have that fake innocent expression on their faces, but the truth is they're all nothing more than animals in clothes. And it's terrifying".

Mako Higari is the protagonist of this story, a 29 years old hygiene freak, with a singular pathology that makes her nose bleed profusely (it’s exagerated to the extent that it's like a crime scene every time) as soon as she comes in contact with something dirty, whether they are objects or people, a condition that limits her life considerably.

With an effective mix of odd and funny moments, this manga shows the ...

It was a fun read, despite their is restrictions of nudity, Blood and some inappropriate scene. At first, definitely it was a surprise to see such drawing, felt a little awkward to read but, as the chapters progressed it became normal. For the artistic value of the manga, first impression was "well drawn with colour", then the rest are just rough work of the magaka. The main character Higari Mako is the one, story is based around and it gives similar feeling of Tomei manga but with less horror and more real world troubles for a woman with abnormal body.

The title of the manga Botabota, ...

Story:

Bota Bota is a short story about Mako, a woman that has a condition that makes her bleed from touching dirty things since she's germaphobe. A problem she got from her mother after she divorced her father and soon later was forced onto her as well basically. Even with this situation she's in she still wants to find a true lover throughout the story, which is of course harder than it seems for her.

The story is quite a simple one as you'd expect from a manga with only 9 chapters, but it's still done quite well even since Mako's condition would probably get ...
