Plastic girl is something special,it can't be really defined as a manga.
In primis,the graphic is really uncommon for a manga:almost every page is colored and has a frame made with wood,tissue,burned paper,etc...

This shouldn't even been one volume. It is a trippy art type manga. It sort of follow a child growing up.... in a twisted way. It is full color. How much drugs did the author thake to make this?
