The Kafkaesque autobiography of a diplomat who compares himself to Rasputin, as he gets caught up in a political purge during the early 2000s. A legal thriller with a dash of geopolitics. Note: Despite the title, this manga is not a chronicle of Grigori Rasputin's life.

The story centres on the oddities that appear in the distortions within everyday life.

A new Tomie story, originally included with the Kanzenhan release of the Junji Ito Collection.

Macabre manga master Junji Ito applys his singularly anxious touch to a comic book adaptation based on No Longer Human (Ningen Shikkaku in the original Japanese), a classic of modern Japanese literature written by Osamu Dazai. The poignant and fascinating story of a young man who is caught between the breakup of the traditions of a northern Japanese aristocratic family and the impact of Western ideas. Portraying himself as a failure, the protagonist of Osamu Dazai's No Longer Human narrates a seemingly normal life even while he feels himself incapable of understanding human beings. Oba Yozo's attempts to reconcile himself to the world around him begin in early childhood, continue through high school, where he becomes a "clown" to mask his alienation, and eventually lead to a failed suicide attempt as an adult. Without sentimentality, he records the casual cruelties of life and its fleeting moments of human connection and tenderness.

A manga about people trying to kill themselves, but weird stuff happens instead.
