Yujin is a “normal” teenager who’s preparing to retake his college entrance exams. He is not into boys. Nope. At least that’s what he tells himself when his classmate, Jun-hyeok, starts hitting on him. But as time goes on, Yujin can’t deny his increasing attraction to Jun-hyeok and reluctantly admits that he’s probably as straight as a circle. But even if Yujin accepts his sexuality, will his and Jun-hyeok’s love prevail successful against all odds, or will it succumb to societal pressure?

The following content is intended for mature audiences and may contain sexual themes, gore, violence and/or strong language. Discretion is advised. "Yes. I am the replacement. You have been fooled!" To save the world and seek revenge, Isla replaced her elder sister, the Wise Princess Ava Cassia. In order to successfully deceive Sebastian Leodegrance, the Evil Tyrant, she must bury her own identity along with her sister's death. Will Isla succeed in her revenge and destroy Sebastian Leodegrance, or... fall in love with him?

Mine has been a life of much shame. I can’t even guess myself what it must be to live the life of a human being. Plagued by a maddening anxiety, the terrible disconnect between his own concept of happiness and the joy of the rest of the world, Yozo Oba plays the clown in his dissolute life, holding up a mask for those around him as he spirals ever downward, locked arm-in-arm with death. Osamu Dazai’s immortal—and supposedly autobiographical—work of Japanese literature, is perfectly adapted here into a manga by Junji Ito. The imagery wrenches open the text of the novel one line at a time to sublimate Yozo’s mental landscape into something even more delicate and grotesque. This is the ultimate in art by Ito, proof that nothing can surpass the terror of the human psyche.
