螺子 [Neji]

A haunting, single-issue manga from 2001 published by Hakusensha, Neji is a spare, atmospheric work by a singular creator that lingers in the mind long after reading. Its brief, self-contained story distills a mood of quiet mystery and melancholy, showcasing the artist's distinctive linework and narrative restraint. Though only one issue long, it stands as a memorable, cult-touched piece of early-2000s alternative manga.
