STOMACH Volume 1 Ebi Kawa Mari

An office lady who repeatedly attempts suicide steps forward upon receiving a postcard. The card reads, "Welcome to the world freed from all karma!" Guided by these words, she is drawn into a sinister apartment building. The place exudes an eerie, otherworldly atmosphere, where a man named Commander Zemu proclaims, "Release all your poison!" to thunderous applause. Following his command, members of the group struggle to purge the desires festering in their guts through various means. Meanwhile, another woman, insulted by her boyfriend for having a bloated stomach, resolves to lose weight and gets caught up in this bizarre movement. After receiving a flyer from a suspicious man, she's lured into a massage parlor-like establishment. What awaits her there? Two distinct stories unfold, each leading into a strange and unsettling world.
