Ciguatera 2

<p><strong><strong>A story of self-doubting youth from award-winning manga creator Minoru Furuya, in his English debut series, <em>Ciguatera</em>. </strong></strong><br /><br />Against all odds, self-proclaimed loser and punching bag Yusuke Ogino has found himself a girlfriend: the gorgeous, motorcycle-riding Yumi Nagumo. But just when things seem sweetest, life takes a series of unexpected and excruciating turns. Violence and temptation lurk just around the corner, and no one's getting out unscathed.<br /><br />With his patented mix of brutal honesty and pitch-black humor, Minoru Furuya masterfully depicts the dark corners and messy realities of life. While not for the faint of heart, <em>Ciguatera</em> is nevertheless required reading for all devotees of graphic storytelling, and will ring true to anyone who's been through the awkward, painful joy of being young.<br /><br />WARNING: INCLUDES DEPICTIONS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE</p>
