Kago's a man after my own heart because you can tell he just tries to come up with the most retarded ideas possible and then turn them into stories. This one's a collection of four of those stories, which are all unrelated to each other and cover about 40 pages each. The first one's pretty silly and the third one legitimately fits with the kind of stuff you'd see from Junji Ito.

really anal about review scores, the first and third stores are like a 6 and the second and fourth are like a 4, so the whole collection's pretty average overall.
The art is standard Kago, although there's no poop, only minimal rape, and the guro elements aren't as extreme as in his other stuff. Personally I consider myself poop- and rape-neutral, although it's hard to deny that poop and rape are two of the cornerstones of Kago's works. Reading something from Kago and not seeing poop or rape in it feels like playing a Mario game and not seeing Yoshi or Bowser. I suppose I could recommend this as something tamer than what Kago usually farts out, but if you're not reading Kago for the poop, rape, and guro then what's the point?
In short, feel free to pick this up if you see a copy at like a Mandarake or whatever, but don't go actively seeking it out or you may find yourself disappointed.
