what kind of mental asylum did the author write this from

this is the most insane manga I have ever read. It seems to make sense on some level but im not quite sure if I am on that level
>>
>>140087427
its either rakka or hachizu-san

>It seems to make sense on some level but im not quite sure if I am on that level
it's a strange thing. as long as you don't look too closely, you can understand it. but the more you try to follow too closely or examine, it gets blurry. just like the MC

>>140087459
can someone explain

What did the mangaka mean with any of his stuff:

There's nothing "insane" about it.
The country was in an extended war.
Crime is on the rise. Not enough policemen - not enough young men in general.
The main character is suffering from PTSD as well, but he's not insane.

It's basically Syria - The Manga.
>>
>>140087876
>but he's not insane.

I'd say he was insane, PTSD is one thing, but Kano was just crazy. I'm still not even sure any of it even happened with that last page being him on the table he sat down at the beginning at, did he imagine it all?
>>
>>140088059
Let me give you spoiler
The last page happens before the first chapter.

Whatever it is I'm gonna read only due to being EYEfag. I hope it's good.
>>
>>140088059

It's been a while, but as I remember it was less a factor of PTSD and more that he was some kind of experimental soldier.

You won't read anything else quite like it, that's for sure. It's a mindfuck in the purest sense of the word. Half the time you have no idea what's going on.

Despite that it still bring up strong emotions and feelings of regret. It's one of my favorite manga, and I wish it was talked about more.
>>
>>140091407

It has a decent cult following on /a/. Can't expect much when manga discussion is sparse and pretty much exclusive to ongoing series.
>>
>>140091399
your mind literally made that up, I just finished reading it and it only mentions he got special ops training
>>
If you know your moonrunes, you could always email Matsumoto Jiro and ask him about anything you didn't understand. He'll respond.
>>
>>140091980

Why does he share an identical powerset with that one guy they hunted who was also stated to be "special forces?" Im pretty sure PTSD doesn't degrade your ego to the point where you develop quasi psychic powers. I know it wasn't explicitly stated (in the manga what is?) but I thought that it was heavily implied by "special ops."
>>
>>140092220
>>140091980

From the Wikipedia article: "Due to his training in the military, he possesses some kind of active camouflage that not only enables him to fade away at a moment's notice, leaving his coworkers confused, but allows bullets to pass through without injuring him. It is later revealed that he is able to alter people's senses to a certain extent"

Now I wanna read this. What does it have to do with EYE? Just being crazy in a similar way?

He wasn't an experimental soldier in magical super high tech sense, but he was trained at some secret gubmint facility that develops special skills.
>>
>>140092432
Schitzophrenic super soldier kills people and deals with worsening psychosis and things around him being questionably real. His legs are okay but his brain isn't.

Also it's grim, wartorn crap world.
>>
>>140092452
in a way I also saw that as a blatant lie
his file says supply lines
I sincerely suspect higuchi is lying just because she wants him to join her company for her own reasons
>>
>>140092452

Yeah, I meant experimental in the sense that he wasn't getting your basic navy seals regime. Sorry to quibble.
>>
>>140092673
Sounds fun
Guess I'll pick it up soon
>>
>>140092313
I don't think it allows bullets to pass through without injuring him, it just makes people shot at where they think he is when he's really standing 5 feet to the side.

One guy manages to figure out the trick at the end if I recall correctly.
>>
That's how I understood it as well. Basically his blank state egoless self deflects and distorts sensory input. Kind of like a stealth bomber disrupting radar tracking (or the zebra/lion analogy if you prefer).
>>
Why is Higuchi so fucking smug?
>>
>>140093219
Forgot the image.
>>
how does this compare to the 2nd half of biomega in terms of insanity? looks interesting.
>>
>>140092700
The supply lines record is just a coverup
>>
>>140093267
Biomega was crazy because the story took a completely different direction, hell even the art style changed.

Freesia is more of a low heat, simmering insanity

Jason Bourne

>>140092700
Except her story makes sense and actually explains his abilities. Which she wouldn't mention she didn't knew he was a magic assassin from his files.
>>
>>140093449
you've obviously never seen firsthand what a logistics expert can do on the battlefield
>>
>>140086422
He's gay
>>
>>140087459

The author is pretty fucked up, must run in the family since his brother/sister is a transgernder mangaka IIRC.
>>
>>140093673
just because something makes sense, that doesn't make it true. we have no way of knowing what the truth is in a story where honest people can't find the truth and those who know it won't tell the truth.
>>
On a related note, Joshi Kouhei ended a few months ago. The last issue came with an interview and some tribute illustrations with a trippy final chapter.
