Toume's signature style weaves together everyday moments with the bizarre, creating narratives that are both grounded and surreal.

For three years, an enormous alien mothership has hovered over Tokyo, a constant presence that has reshaped daily life.

These hacks can be as trivial as making bird droppings appear on a sidewalk after pressing a certain combination of vending machine buttons, or as extreme as lifting weights beyond normal human limits. At first, experimenting with Bugs is fun and games. Hitsujiya and Kokudou grow closer as they exploit these anomalies that transcend the laws of science and humanity. But when Kokudou uses a hack to go back in time, things take a dark turn. Hitsujiya attempts to do the same, a
