-Descripcion Original:

Devilishly funny, absurdist manga short stories about a sprightly home aide caring for a series of eccentric patients. In Vol. 2, Yukie boldly decides to join the resistance against a squadron of maniacal diapers hell-bent on taking over the world! A shorthanded hospital hires zombies to care for its patients, but … what exactly do they eat? When an old man creates a machine that causes out-of-body experiences, what could possibly go wrong? And why are children getting rocket launchers in their stockings? Three words: Santa has dementia! Black & white illustrations throughout. Review Charming, hilarious, and thought-provoking. Dementia 21 proves that Kago is a cutting satirist with a deft touch for black comedy. Broken Frontier Showing influences from Salvador Dali to Katsuhiro Otomo, the combination of Kagos precise, expressive, and kinetic line work with his wacky storytelling is at turns engrossing and repulsive. Mature fans of unconventional manga will appreciate the surreal spiral of body horror, tragicomedy, and dark humor. Publishers Weekly As much as I admire Kagos oddness as a writer, his artistic pen is even sharper. [His characters] retain a realistic edge that intensifies their horror-tinged universe. PopMatters Charming, hilarious, and thought-provoking. Dementia 21 proves that Kago is a cutting satirist with a deft touch for black comedy. Broken Frontier Part social commentary and satire, part menacing story colored by greed and selfishness, part narrative on thankless work, Dementia 21 is a transgressive form of graphic medicine. Intima Dementia 21 is a great way to introduce the world to Kagos brilliant work. If you’re looking for amazing manga, look no further. Kitty Sneezes Dementia 21 revels in bodily irreverence and pushes corporeality to the limits of the imagination. It is a fine introduction to the strange world of Kago.
