Yo, this is like Violet Evergarden for horror-aficionado dudes! The main character is able to see people's "homunculi," which is like a person's insecurities. During this volume, he uses his talent to help treat a Yakuza boss of his past trauma. He did so by de-shelling him, and then translating the emotions the Yakuza boss felt with the emotions the main character felt. By the end, they both learned a great deal more about themselves. This plays into the title "Homunculus" as the main character is growing into a fully-formed human being.

The only thing I'm not sure about is if all of these manifestations will only represent past trauma, or if it will extend to also showcasing mental illnesses not born of any traumatic past. I'll continue using the PTSD tag for now, but if they focus on biological causes of mental issues, I may need to add a new tag. ( )

Está na lista do Buzzfeed de "13 Horror Comics That Will @#$%&! You Up" , mas nestes dois volumes achei foi divertido, triste e muito bom. Aguardando um pavor mais descarado. #readathon ( )
