    1st printing. Story and art by Hajime Taguchi. Seemingly mundane events twist with an unusual presence of the unreal as the psyche of ordinary people is explored. Depression, time, and thought are redefined. Alive is a collection of melancholy love stories saturated with sadness. Characters struggle to connect with one another but never quite succeed. They are essentially alone. A world that is dark and disturbing, suicide is constantly contemplated and feelings of guilt, inadequacy, and suppressed sexuality surface as identity itself becomes a fragile thing. Softcover, 5-in. x 7-in., 284 pages, B&W. Cover price $12.95.
