This volume was a little bit slow in pacing but the explanation was interesting.
This manga series is about a recently homeless man named Nakoshi, and a young medical student named Ito. Under Ito's knife, Nakoshi underwent a surgical procedure called trepanation, during which his skull was drilled into to activate his sixth sense. In previous volumes, he had used this power to inadvertently play as amateur therapist to a yakuza boss.
This is the third volume. The feel-goodness from the precious volume is gone and the series begins to get creepy and unsettling. We learn more about the homunculi, what they are and what they represent. It's very philosophical and I've seen reviewers compare the homunculi to Freudian psychoanalysis because of Hideo's (through character Ito) description of the unconscious and conscious.

I'm conflicted. the art style is still irritating me, but its really freaking me out. it keeps getting weirder and now its becoming a weird fascination to continue this series. also vagina monster. unsettled is not the word for this series.
