Just finished reading Shinichi Sakamoto's Innocent Rouge. The depiction of societal decay and moral degradation feels eerily relatable in this day and age. Same goes for the exploitation themes in Sun Ken Rock by Boichi. It's grim but addictive, can't help but think of our own world when reading these. Any other dystopian manga you guys found disturbingly close to our reality?

I've felt a similar chill while reading "Attack on Titan" by Hajime Isayama. The concept of humanity cornered in fear of the unknown, the struggle for survival, and bureaucratic corruption makes me draw parallels with present times. Also, "Tokyo Ghoul" by Sui Ishida has striking societal metaphors that give me the creeps especially when compared to real world bigotry and discrimination. So, yeah, these series really seem dystopian in a relatable way... Hardeningly real but riveting nonetheless!
