Compared to Jisatsu Circle’s images, this image is of a vast, airy, idyllic landscape populated by beautiful birds and containing a scenery that is magnificent and coruscating with sunlight’s bountiful brightness.

Coffee can only do so much.

I’m having a hard time sleeping because I just recently finished the manga Jisatsu Circle (Suicide Circle). It doesn’t make things any better that I’ve been bombarded with coughs, colds, a fever, loose bowel movement. Reading the manga made the gall rise up my throat, and I tell you, it doesn’t taste good. How the mangaka drew the manga was extremely disturbing and disquieting. How Saya glared upon other people, or how she looked upon Kyoto was so fucking scary. I really can’t say much about the manga else I would spoil it already, since it’s only six chapters, but the manga is based upon a movie of the same name. The movie opens with 54 (?) teenage girls simultaneously jumping together as a bullet train is passing by, and all but one die. (I’m not even joking.) The character designs are pervasively dark and scary, and I suggest reading it if one doesn’t want to go to sleep. At all. It’s an adrenaline pump, basically.

(Oh, and if you’d like me to know where to download this manga, or any other manga, grab an IRC client and head over to #lurk @ irc.irchighway.net. There are searchable pack lists over at http://www.gotlurk.net, and I can assure you there are a lot more manga – like GOTH, Hitsuji no Uta, Death Note, D. Gray Man, etc. for example.)
