Bota Bota is a story that intrigued me with it's surrealism in it's main protagonist, while still remaining with realism in it's other subjects and themes.

The story is simple, yet it opens a lot of opportunities for situations and events. Mako (the main protagonist) suffers from condition, that doesn't let her touch filthy things, without making her bleed big masses of blood. Because of this illness, she haves problems with her love life and finding a soul mate. Every chapter follows the same formula: She encounters a man, tries to get close to him but fails miserably because of her sickness.
You'd think that when every chapter haves this formula thing are going to repetitive. Every chapter is well done, and there nothing repeats. The theme in the chapters, the new characters, the situations are always different and things always play out different. You see Mako's way of thinking, her old memories of her mother, the struggles she haves because of her condition. The characters react realistically, and it shows that Paru Itagaki (the writer and artist) really put a lot of thought while making this manga.
Still, not everything in the manga is perfect. The first chapter wasn't a very good introduction.
Mako is introduced in a very wrong light -  she is scary, her actions are very forced and she tried to boil someone's rooster, while in the next chapters she is more soft and not so pushy. I'm not sure if Paru wanted the readers to get the wrong idea for Mako on porpose, or she was still experimenting with her.

The characters feel as if they're real people.
When Mako understood that a man doesn't have love feeling for her, she isn't trying to change him or his opinion. She aknoweges his feelings.
The minor characters she encounters are all different from looks to characteristics.
Even if the first chapter was flawed, the manga haves enough time to fix it's mistakes.
It had well done plot twists, unexpected ending and mature well handled themes.

Still, this manga may not be for anybody, since it can be a little bit too grusome at times or some people may not like the main idea of the plot.
This manga is worth reading if you're Paru Itagaki's manga fan, like shorter manga or you preffer something more differend.
But be aware that it's not for anybody.
