Hunchback by Saou Ichikawa
4.0
dark funny informative reflective medium-paced

At times, the narrative—especially the dialogue—left me disoriented, but by the end, its cerebral twist made clear that the ambiguity was intentional, a reflection of the shifting self. Told from a perspective I’ve rarely encountered, I appreciated how unabashedly filthy it was, how ribald, and how it engaged in textual criticism along the way. Unexpected and satisfying.
