For the 10th time in my life, I’ve experienced my most favourite story of all time. The Story of Naoki Urasawa's "Monster".

Urasawa, thank you for this piece of media. Thank you for this masterpiece. Thank you for this work of art.

As dramatic as this may sound, the only thing that has touched me so deep (after my relationship and love for my religion) has been the story of "Monster".

Although, Religion and the context within "Monster" are so drastically different - both have impacted me in such a positive way, and unlocked a different layer to my mind.

Revisiting this story and it's setting is always a treat, and I'll forever cherish being lost in it.

Yukio Mishima (14 January 1925 – 25 November 1970)

mishimaesque

“When a boy…discovers that he is more given into introspection and consciousness of self than other boys his age, he easily falls into the error of believing it is because he is more mature than they. This was certainly a mistake in my case. Rather, it was because the other boys had no such need of understanding themselves as I had: they could be their natural selves, whereas I was to play a part, a fact that would require considerable understanding and study. So it was not my maturity but my sense of uneasiness, my uncertainty that was forcing me to gain control over my consciousness. Because such consciousness was simply a steppingstone to aberration and my present thinking was nothing but uncertain and haphazard guesswork.”
