Okay, so I never really wrote it down, but what I really really really love about CSM is how Fujimoto takes really simple, easily understood metaphors and just uses them to brutally illustrate our condition under late capitalism

Making literal deals with devils...

Just, man, this manga is just so peak

    Absolutely, that's why the series works I think. Fujimoto always goes where nobody can predict but thematically it all makes perfect sense. He's not like an edgelord just trying to do surprising things with no thematic reason. Everything connects, it's all intentional.
