A manga about an extremely germophobic woman, who can’t touch men without spraying blood from her nose, trying to lose her virginity and find love.
We’ve discussed this on a previous episode.
As a mega fan of BEASTARS and its creator Paru Itagaki, I was predisposed to check out this series. When I read the first chapter and saw the main character Mako running naked through the streets, covered in blood, chasing a man, and shouting “I need to disinfect your penis with this boiling water!”, I knew why Itagaki decided to draw this manga. What follows is a whacky dark comedy about Mako overcoming her upbringing and finding love.
This is short, weird, and wonderfully entertaining. There are plans to release this book in five other languages so hopefully we’ll get to read it for the podcast in the future.
