Homunculus Omnibus Vol. 01

Homunculus Omnibus Vol. 01. From the creator of Ichi the Killer and Voyeur, this hit supernatural horror tale inspired the live-action film on Netflix–and will be available in English for the first time in oversized omnibus editions!

Nakoshi Susumu, age thirty-four, lives out of his car. Between spending his days with the homeless and his nights in his vehicle, he has little to his name. When a medical student begins to stalk him, offering to pay Nakoshi a significant sum of cash to undergo a strange surgical procedure, Nakoshi initially refuses.

But after his beloved car is towed, he finally agrees to take the offer and subjects himself to the operating table. What, if anything, will Nakoshi see differently once he awakens?
