A very short read.
Each of us has an animal nature we must strive to tame. Well, this arrogant shame was my inner beast: the tiger.
The pursuit in perfection sometimes may lead us to forget what important the most, we loose the sight we are aiming leaving behind our hearts and sometimes even our sanity.

Cool artwork alongside a brilliant short story that itself feels like a work of art. I felt the short length was good so that the story did not dwell too lengthily on the philosophical parts, while saying just enough to get its point across and make you think on your own. A very succinct work that is both sad, beautiful, and thoughtful.

“It frightens me. Soon enough, my humanity will be lost forever, buried under these brutish habits like the foundations of a ruined castle swallowed up by the earth. Then I’ll forget who I once was; I’ll prowl these parts, feral, and if I see you on this road again I won’t know you as a friend, but rend you limb from limb, devour you, and feel nothing”

Along with the beautiful art, they simplified Atsushi’s most famous work and despite that, it still makes you feel just as empty.
