A world saturated in electronics, showered in sparks, smothered in loose wires with bad soldering. The distant "nyan" of a cat girl dies underneath the steady thrum of J-pop bangers. Welcome to The Basement, an underground semen shed where Japan and America sent its collective degenerates post-occupation of the United States. Dean Harrowitz, diabetic and unhappy with life, embarks into its heart of darkness with the black bushido, Marcel Encell, to recover no less than 327 copies of the world's most degenerate doujinshi, or get yiffed trying.
Let’s start at the base. Or the bottom, in my case. It was a climb for both of us doujinshi-loving freaks who had never met once before in our lives, and maybe only skirted by each other in the awful, smelly hallways of those shops that you lie to people about going to, like two ships both mutually carrying drugs passing by each other in the night. I’d never met him before, didn’t even know his face, because in places like The Sticky Page, a popular doujinshi den, you don’t usually make eye-contact.
Where they got these little beauties though, now that’s a subject for a hard-hitting reporter to take on.
