They canceled it after Konsi won for the 12th consecutive year.
I personally enjoy Ito more for the psychological elements, and although I certainly appreciate the art in and of itself, that wasn’t my main draw so I might not be the best person to make recommendations.
That said, Akira’s original manga form really is just as seminal to that medium as it’s anime counterpart was. I think the storytelling is a bit dated, but the illustration is phenomenal. Since you’re sailing the seas anyways, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to take a quick peek at the art to see if it appeals to you.
Regardless, hope you find something you like!
You could try the Akira manga if you haven’t read it already. It certainly has some body-horror elements, although not to the level of Ito, and it’s a lot more substantial than something like Gantz.
Mayyybbe Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita) as well? Hard to say. It can be a bit fluffier than the rest at times, but it certainly has it’s share of hyper-violent parts too.
(Full disclosure, I haven’t read those in years, so YMMV.)
Ito really is in a class of his own, so if that’s your bar, it’ll be pretty hard to clear.
They’re usually the two spots directly next to a shopping cart chute.
Well that works out well. Nobody else usually wants those spots, presumably because you’re more likely to get nicked by an errant cart there. Seems like a win-win.
The person you’re replying to backticked it so it was copy/pasteable. Presumably the the top level comment already edited theirs.
I’m just an amateur, but I’ll bite. I apologize in advance for answering with more questions.
My initial thought was that any intrinsic value is going to be purely in relation to human consideration, and thus arbitrary, but on further consideration, I came to question the validity of that. Even without an understanding of the concept, could other living things not have a vague sense of value as well?
If so, I think we could possibly tease out some sort of basic intrinsic value that is at least common to most animals: companionship, comfort, sensory experience, escaping violence etc. That seems like a good starting place to me.
That would seem to fit into a fairly hedonistic world view, however, which seems to raise the question, are higher order conceptions of intrinsic value uniquely human? If so, does that make them any “less real”? I think this line of thought leads to your idea that intrinsic value is an illusion. I think this would fall under nihilistic or at least skeptical schools of thought.
But now what if you go the other way? Are our most basic hedonistic intrinsic values not just a consequence of our nature as progenitors of evolution? This seems to also lead to intrinsic value being illusory.
It says “real money”, so it must be true. Sadly all I’ve got to offer in return is sexuwual favours. (〃 ̄ω ̄〃)ゞ
You can’t fking stop me!

The op seems to be portraying a fictional FtM character in an anachronistic US civil war.
I’m not sure why, but I feel like I’ve got a new found respect for copyright. Weird.
I literally made squash lasagna tonight for my birthday. Soooooo goooodd.
You couldn’t just let me believe that people today are idiots and that I didn’t just get wooshed, in peace, could you?
I translated it for ya:
