what is this i dont even
I stumbled upon Franken Fran in a thread about cloning. So i found the manga to see... http://www.onemanga.com/Franken_Fran/
... This is a wierd mix of cuteness and FUBAR. I doubt freakshow or gore from gurochan could do any better. It's so absurd that I can't do anything but laugh... Especially now that I found the cloning part of the manga and see how cloning someone is treated as a person being an entire cell, the organs being gathered together and seperated from the middle as the chromosomes would...

I think it's rather interesting as a whole, once you look past the gore (which is so over-the-top it seems to shut down the squick reaction almost immediately, kind of like watching Superjail, there's all this ultraviolence going on, but you find yourself marveling at the artistic beauty in the scene, the color, the balance, and never seem to register emotionally that you're marveling at a guy chewing his own head off at the neck to escape a collar and leash.) (Strangely, the Saw series just turns me off, guess the gore is to realistic in looks and level for my taste.) and see that Fran is doing the best she can to save EVERYBODY, and that she's asking the real soul-searching questions, "Most affairs are based on sexual attracton, once you remove that, the path is open for real love to grow."
I pretty much stopped reading manga once I left highschool but this is great, it reminds of Cronenberg's stuff. The fact that the artist is more likely than not getting off to a lot of the stuff in the comic only makes it creepier, IMHO >.>;
