This, is a perfect manga. Never before have I ever been so engrossed in a series. Over the years I have drifted away from the Shonen side of the manga demographic and rapidly slid into the world of Seinen, reading manga such as Berserk and Gantz I felt right at home in the Seinen demographic. One day i was searching through the Horror section on MAL looking for something in the vain of Silent Hill or Siren and i ended up stumbling upon a series called Homunculus. The synopsis on this page alone made me itching to read it, and the good reviews reinforced it. Lo and behold i searched and found scans of it. The story is grade A, its about a a man named Susumu Nakoshi, a homeless man who lives in his car, he is contacted by an eccentric medical student who offers him a large sum of money to allow him to perform a trepanation.(drilling a hole in the skull) and it bestows upon him the power to see the true nature of people. the series cannot be explained any further, it is something that needs to be experienced, the surreal imagery and the living enigma that is Susumu Nakoshi are what makes this manga great. I believe everyone should read it at least once.
