This seminal work of manga was first published in 1990 and is widely regarded as the literary masterpiece of 1990s manga. It is the Candide-like tale of the misadventures of a sperm exposed to radioactivity and given life. Unremittingly explicit, this work is the comics equivalent of Henry Miller at his extreme best: beautiful and grotesque all at once. Nemoto is often called the R. Crumb of Japan, and this powerful, terrifying, and often hilarious book will show exactly why.
