Description : A social drop-out, living in his car, 'playing' at being homeless, is offered money to submit to a hole being drilled in his skull. A medical student plans to study the conferal of paranormal abilities by this trepanning process; but after the operation the subject becomes lost is disturbing visions, and fears for his sanity. A thoughtful manga, without the extreme violence of the writer's other main work, Ichi the Killer.

Totally awesome stuff... by yuri21 on May 7th, 2008, 6:03am

I really enjoyed this manga. Very quirky, unique, etc. ^__^ And the premise is quite brilliant. Although, volume one was a little slow but the pacing and plot picks up in the later of the series. Love the art too: it's a big improvement from Ichi where his art style was still developing.

Update: Having read the very latest volumes, I think it deserves 8.5 at best for now and nothing more as I agree with xObscurexOmen's points that Homonculus is brilliant, innovative but a little flawed for now. It remains to be seen how the plot/story will move along. But at least, it's quite an improvement from Ichi the killer where things were quite interesting but fizzled out a little towards the end, for me.

Rating: 8.5 / 10.0
