Dementia 21

In Dementia 21, Shintarō Kago brings his signature surreal, grotesque humor to Fantagraphics with a two-issue series following an elderly home-care aide navigating increasingly bizarre and nightmarish assignments. Known for his "fashionable paranoia" and intricate, unsettling art, Kago twists mundane domestic scenarios into absurd, often horrifying vignettes that defy conventional storytelling. This brief but potent run distills the creator's unique voice—a blend of dark comedy, body horror, and social satire—into a compact, unforgettable experience for fans of avant-garde manga.
