keikoreadsmanga 's review for:
Homunculus 5
by Hideo Yamamoto
That is seriously disturbing, mental, and thought-provoking. I might get insane for real. The amount of internal screaming I've let out over the course of this volume! This is by far the heaviest to digest, and the hardest one to judge... I still have conflicted feelings but my head is still screaming on the overflowing cuts of symbolisms meshed together. I think I'm going to have a heart attack, so let me breathe for a moment.
I seriously feel for the sand girl. Not having emotions and such. It literally took me back to my high school days, watching Inside Out in the classroom for the first time, and my God did I cry so loudly saying sorry repeatedly. My classmates hugged me, asking what was wrong. That was the first time I broke down. It was a mess, but it was freeing.
When you don't feel a thing... that you're so empty and can't feel even sadness, anymore? That's a huge slap on my face. The movie was just screaming to me that I opened myself and poured everything right then and there. What a mess. I was young and disturbed.
Back to the story, this is going to be an unpopular opinion. But the rape that took place? I will treat it as a metaphor. It couldn't simply be here just because Yamamoto suddenly felt so horny (lol.) It was written here from the start.
The sand girl had this appetite for sex illusions and the need to be one with the subject of her delusions. She's empty and formless. Nakoshi, trying to penetrate her with his metal robotic hand, is him trying to give her a shape or form... freeing her from her homunculus. He knows because they're one and the same. It's a metaphor.
And Nakoshi succeeded in doing so.
The sand girl's finally able to feel emotions and kicked her way out of that terrible, shocking, situation. Back to the Freudian theory that the pierced guy presented: Sand girl found an overwhelming sense of consciousness and is finally able to grasp reality (dissolving all her sexual delusions) getting her emotions intact, to be freed from her homunculus.
But what will this freedom bring in Nakoshi's existence? We'll see that in the next volume.
