On the 150th anniversary of his birth, this manga depicts the life of Aubrey Beardsley, a heretical painter who died at the young age of 25, and his glory and downfall. In England at the end of the 19th century, Beardsley, a 21-year-old young man, visited novelist Oscar Wilde and said, "I would like you to paint me a picture." I would like you to use one of my paintings in "Salome." Wilde was surprised by the sudden offer, but fell in love with Beardsley's fearless attitude, bewitching charm, and unparalleled talent. While scandalous rumors of his alleged homosexuality and incestuous relationship with his own sister abounded, he devoted himself to painting and devoting himself to his art, even while suffering from lung disease. What did Beardsley, who had achieved both status and honor, seek at the moment of his death?

"How can I keep you from feeling lonely when I'm gone? I know, you can just eat me..." A tale of a twisted sort of kindness, and true madness. (\*Warning: This work contains cannibalism.) Published in Mag Garden in 2017.
