Jikken Ningyō Dummy Oscar

In the late 1970s, Koike Shoin published Jikken Ningyō Dummy Oscar, a 19-issue comic series that blended macabre science fiction with psychological horror. The story follows a scientist's creation of a lifelike android, exploring themes of identity and humanity through the titular "dummy" as it navigates a world that both fears and desires it. Known for its unsettling, atmospheric art and philosophical depth, the series remains a cult touchstone for fans of mature, introspective manga from that era.
