The freak show includes such unsavory characters as a mummyman, a snake woman, and a drooling man with no limbs. The owner of the freak show, the eponymous Mr. Arashi, is a strict man who allows his freaks very little freedom or joy in life. He is especially cruel to Midori. Midori works, not as a freak since she is normal, but as a sort of caretaker of the freaks.

Surprised this manga doesn't have more reviews.
Read this manga if you fall under one of these categories-
1. You like to explore weird stuff
2. If you like ero guro.
There is nothing else here, absolutely nothing. It is a weird, revolting, and horrifying story that hooks you in till the end. It left me traumatized, but man do I want to read more of this mangaka. Personally, I like exploring the works of controversial figures, so I'll definitely check out his other work.
If you're like me go ahead and give this a read, but be sure to have r/eyebleach on the side. You're gonna need it.

Before you decide on reading this manga, just be aware of some triggers that are present within the story:
1. There is a r*pe scene (the chapter ends before the reader can see anything but, I feel it is important to know).
2. In almost all the chapters, one can clearly see acts of gro*ming and ped*philia.
3. It is very gory from the beginning.
At the end of the day, it is a horror manga, however, still, take this into consideration before going into it!
(Personal review)
Story-wise, if you decide that this manga is not for you, I am happy to inform you that you are not missing out on much. The story is shallow and it is;t particularly interesting nor scary. In the end, it will leave you with more questions than answers and an extreme need to bleach your eyes.
