Lychee Light Club

In 2011, Vertical released a single-volume English edition of Lychee Light Club, a surreal and grotesque manga by Usamaru Furuya. Originally serialized in Japan, this cult-classic horror story follows a secret society of boys who create a sentient, fruit-based machine to hunt for beauty, spiraling into violence and obsession. Furuya's stark, angular art and unflinching narrative make this a standout work of transgressive manga, blending adolescent angst with body horror.
