Naked Self

Seems pretty interesting, but it doesn't feel quite well when read backwards.

So this is the old story from the author of Erased

@Nullify I think you have to read from bottom to top too, if you hadn't already.

I just read it from bottom to top and it seems to make sense.
Very clever indeed.

>The manga itself can be read starting on page one going forward or starting on the last page going backwards.

Whatever. Killer bod though. Gotta look up the artist later.

@mattvarley

Yea that helped a lot, but its kind of sad right? One is a hopeful story, and the other is an eternal loneliness. Or did I interpret the message wrong? What do you guys think?

 

[Rune]

well, I get it reading it forwards but going back didn't make as much sense? I did try reading it from bottom to top and also just top to bottom from the last page. I guess reading backward, the story is more about a philosophical question: who is the real you, the one shown to others or the one you show others or is the real you something more simple by just physically exposing your body to others.

mangaka def has a lot of skill though, I assume the lack of understanding the story backward has more to do with the translation rather than the mangaka's writing.

 

[DracoSafarius]

Really nice regularly, falls off reading it back though

 

[Tarlo]

The story bring a good topic, but no answers about it (well, actually it's not necessary).

The original in Japanese must work like magic

I think the translater should do it 2 way and put it in 2 version, this and the backward version
