Viz Media's Viz Originals One-Shots program features rising stars in manga, allowing them to publish free standalone stories. One such story, 'DeadAss' by hakei, follows James, who suffers from haunting-induced chronic hemorrhoids. Within its 50 pages, 'DeadAss' cleverly intertwines comedy and emotional depth, showcasing hakei's talent for character development. The narrative balances absurdity and sincerity, exploring themes of guilt while providing a humorous premise. Readers can enjoy this engaging short story at no cost on Viz.com and the Viz app.
Few mangakas possess hakei's rare ability to craft characters that are both funny and moving simultaneously-the very essence of manga.
DeadAss is absurd, gross, and dramatic - and silly, obviously, it's extremely silly, but just as extremely sincere.
