Dementia 21 (DEMENTIA 21 GN) Paperback – September 25, 2018

It was all good.

While the work may not immediately appear like what Kago’s work is most known for (asides from the covers) the odd storylines with bizarre outcomes will certainly reflect it.

Dementia 21 was truly like nothing I’ve ever read before. It had some horror and comedy aspects and always had me on my toes. If you are a fan of Junji Ito or Kazuo Umezz I recommend giving this series a try. It has a lot more humor than their works but the horror aspect is greatly reflected.

When I received this in the mail, I did not expect the manga to be so huge. It was a pleasant surprise and the quality of the cover is really impressive. The contents of the managa had me very bamboozled (In a good way). I really loved the unexpected turns the story took. There were some parts that were creepy enough to be considered horror. And the comedy really worked. 10/10 for me. Can't wait for the next one.

This was an excellent dark, absurdist comedy. This is a collection of stories about a woman who cares for the elderly and gets sucked into bizarre scenarios. For instance, one elderly woman causes anything she forgets to stop existing. One elderly man causes time to loop because of a manga he drew. One elderly superhero our protagonist is tasked with taking care of ends up meeting up with a bunch of aliens who are his old villains. All the stories have crazy premises, which I love. I saw one review which called this a psychological horror, which I don't agree with. There's an obvious Junji Ito influence, but I really don't believe this book is trying to scare the reader. Really, I feel like calling this a mix between Junji Ito's work and Monty Python sums it up pretty well. It's really goofy and it's really good.

The manga itself is really intriguing and wacky, and the art itself is amazing. Also the quality of the book itself is awesome, I loved it.

Great book! Really enjoyed it.

Trippy, in the best way. Wont spoil much but enjoy this adventure.
