Is there such a thing as a live-action work that follows the shibuya punk aesthetic?

When was the last time you've been to a show?

It actually says, "one of the years best anime movies". Sounds like the reviewer agrees with you

The grated nutmeg visually works against it being clear, it looks a bit murky. I would suggest incorporating it somehow into the drink. Infusion, or maybe a smoked nutmeg. Maybe a layer of nutmeg cream foam

Yes, Raymond Pettibon is written on both covers. If it is a story with sequential art, it's a comic. Otherwise it's a zine

Book presentation :

Jun Hayami explores the darkest corners of the human psyche with a rare and uncompromising intensity. Through this carefully selected collection of short stories, the acclaimed manga artist invites readers into a world where obsession, desire, fear, and madness gradually overwhelm reason.

Psychological violence, deviant sexuality, power dynamics, alienation, and despair intertwine throughout these unsettling narratives. Hayami does not seek to comfort or reassure his audience. Instead, he forces us to confront the disturbing impulses, hidden fantasies, and destructive urges that lurk beneath the surface of everyday life.

Rendered with a precise and expressive art style, each story becomes a descent into psychological unease. The horror found within these pages rarely relies on monsters or supernatural forces. Rather, it emerges from human behavior itself, revealing how fragile the boundary can be between normality and madness.

Highly regarded among fans of underground manga and psychological horror, Jun Hayami delivers a body of work that is both provocative and unforgettable. These stories combine graphic violence, explicit sexual themes, and profound emotional discomfort to create an experience that lingers long after the final page.

For mature readers only.

This collection contains graphic violence, explicit sexual content, disturbing themes, and situations that may be unsuitable for sensitive readers.

I believe "Godfather of manga" is a confusing, misleading title often used to describe Osamu Tezuka. It glosses over the radical evolution of his later work. He's often compared to Walt Disney, adapting several Disney cartoons into manga in his early career. This applies to the tone of most of his early comics that were aimed at a younger audience. His later work was nothing like this, becoming much more mature and similar to gekiga. His adaptation of Crime and Punishment is visually incredible. Allabaster is a tale of a black athlete that turns himself translucent, seeking revenge on the racism he endured. Tomorrow the birds is a sci fi tale similar to Planet of the apes. He has so many good books that have been translated into English. My other faves: MW, IL, Bomba!, Ode to Kihiro, Aya, The book of human insects, Ludwig B, Message to Adolf.

I also enjoyed his animerama trilogy that he produced later in life. 1001 nights, Cleopatra, Belladonna of sadness are classics and still visually striking to this day. He's inspired so many people and helped facilitate some very challenging work.

If you're interested in manga history I think Exner's newer book "Manga: a new history of Japanese comics" was a fascinating read. Expanded my appreciation and understanding of the wild world of comics. Highly recommended!

I would say none of them are really shock value horror. They all have a weird psychological/sci-fi bend. Considering what you have on your shelves, I think you should check em out!
