A collection of depressing stories about Rensuke Oshikiri‘s life.

I love Rensuke Oshikiri and it’s always fun to read any of his non-fiction works like Pico-Pico Shounen or this one. The stories here range from the time Oshikiri lived with his mother in a small apartment to his school life where a violent teacher almost dropped him off the roof.

Oshikiri is always able to weave an entertaining story. I was particularly impressed with how he changed his art style for many of these stories into one that looks like it was drawn with heavy black lines. It gave everything a really melancholy look to it.
