Description

Chapter 1: a male character compels two women to have sex with each other and implies that one will also eventually murder another, though nothing is depicted. This is done as an amusement. The youngest sister of the abovementioned character is portrayed partially nude at different points. She is an ancient manifestation of human thought patterns and does not appear to be directly drawn as a minor (rather as a young woman), but her youthful appearance and sometimes childlike personality may cause this to give some readers discomfort. Worthy of note: in chapter 5, a love goddess, working at a strip club, gives a performance that destroys the building and causes all the men inside to die graphic deaths while experiencing overwhelming sexual ecstasy.
