Minoru Furuya's Ciguatera is a cynical slice of life story about an average boy in high school who gets bullied, but relies on his passion for motorcycles to get him through the day.

It convinced me that it would be worth watching him have a cathartic win over his bully because I felt like the author would have a commentary on ...
