MPD-Psycho Volume 10 (MPD Psycho #10)
by Eiji Otsuka"Multiple personality detective" Kobayashi Yosuke seems to live on as a complex personality program inside the young, violent Tetora Nishizono--but the boy is now on a suicidal mission to destroy Japan's political leaders! This series will appeal to fans of nihilistic parables, like Paranoia Agent, Se7en, and the works of Takashi Miike, as well as other intelligent, adult manga series like The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and Monster.
MW
by Osamu TezukaA secret U.S. chemical weapon called "MW" accidentally leaks and wipes out the population of a southern Japanese island. Though Michio Yuki survives, he emerges from the ordeal without a trace of conscience. MW is manga-god Osamu Tezuka's controversial testament to the Machiavellian character and features his most direct engagement of themes such as transvestism and homoeroticism. MW is a chilling picaresque of evil. Steering clear of the supernatural as well as the cuddly designs and slapstick humor that enliven many of Tezuka's better-known works, MW explores a stark modern reality where neither drive nor secular justice seems to prevail. This willfully "anti-Tezuka" achievement from the master's own pen nevertheless pulsates with his unique genius.
