Cathexis About Cathexis is a psychological shortstory oneshot manga about finding a purpose in life and singlemindedly working to achieve it. Its written by Sanada Shuuhei and the illustrations are made by Murai. Story The main character is a nameless duck who one day finds a leaflet in his mailbox. I sell certificates that confer upon the owner the right to die. And the nameless duck who coincidentally had just thought that hed like to die decided to give the number on the paper a call. Major Spoilers Art The art of Cathexis is made by the incredibly talented Murai. The artstyle is simple but vivid id describe it as a lucid dream keeping it realistic to a certain extent and the rest is very dreamlike. Personally i love the artstyle it really fits in with the nature of the manga. The design of the nameless duck is simple but unique and the scenery in his room changes with every page. Conclusion The concept of this manga is simple yet powerful. Personally i think its up to everyone who reads to process it on their own as i think people can see the message of this manga differently. Overall scores Story: 7.5/10 Art: 10/10 Enjoyment: 8.7/10 Overall: 7.6
