Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Dare to read the psycho-horror classic that horror manga master Ito Junji called a "frightening but moving story about an unfortunate individual who, lost in search of his true self, finds his own annihilation instead."
Little Tetsuo is a wimpy mess. His parents don't love him. He meets the beautiful Kimiko, an ailing teenage girl obsessed with movies and mayhem in equal amounts. She doesn't love Tetsuo either, or anyone other than herself. But she needs him. So Tetsuo becomes the man she wants--the monster she wants. He becomes HER FRANKENSTEIN!
Originally published in 1986, Kawashima Norikazu's HER FRANKENSTEIN marks the bizarre and sadomasochistic finale to a cult era in Japanese horror comics. A few years after it was published, the author burned all of his artwork and abandoned Tokyo, never to be heard from again! HER FRANKENSTEIN is the inaugural volume of SMUDGE, a line of pulp, horror, and dark mystery manga, curated and translated into English by award-winning historian Ryan Holmberg.
Reads from back to front and from right to left.
