Dementia 21
Dementia 21 | Shintaro Kago
5 posts | 2 read | 1 reading | 1 to read
Yukie Sakai is a sprightly young home health aide eager to help her elderly clients. But what seems like a straightforward job quickly turns into a series of increasingly surreal and bizarre adventures that put Yukies wits to the test! Cartoonist Kago, who is well known for combining a more traditional manga style with hyper realistic illustration technique, an experimental visual storytelling approach, and outrageously sexual and scatological subject matter, has single-handedly created his own genre: fashionable paranoia."

Dementia 21 is the D title for my #LitsyAtoZ2019 challenge by @BookishMarginalia

I‘m a bit behind with this challenge but I‘m having a lot of fun with it. Especially with this bizarre book 😋

If you‘re a fan of horror or Junji Ito I‘m sure you‘ll get a kick out of this book. Fantagraphics have put together a beautiful edition. Rachel Matt Thorne has done a fantastic job with the translation. And there‘s even a bit of an interview in the back of the book, paired with fantastic full colour images.

Kago‘s work ranges from bizarre to disturbing to silly. Each chapter is a new, wild scenario where health aide Sakai cares for a strange elderly person or people. Some have crazy powers, others seem possessed. It‘s always a wild ride to see where Kago‘s crazy mind goes next.
