Blood on the Tracks, Vol. 3 by Shuzo Oshimi
4.0

This is probably some of the most uncomfortable manga I've ever read, but in a good way.

Our main character, Seiichi Osabe, is having a tough time even talking now. He stutters like mad, and when he does talk, he usually says opposite of what he wants to say. Especially around his mother Seiko. But when his father takes him to the hospital he finally breaks when he sees the condition of his cousin. The ending heats up as Seiko demands to know what Seiichi is doing but what happens when he can't stand it anymore?

This is another great volume. While not as weird as the last the tension racks up BIG time at the end and it seems like mama isn't playing anymore. My only downside to this all is how fast I read them and have to wait. But Oshimi got some good shit here.

A 4 out of 5.
