GEN Manga is Indie Manga from the Tokyo
Underground.

GEN Manga was made to give fans an exclusive look at real doujinshi,
otherwise known as indie manga, that they had heard about, but until now, unable
to get their hands on. In its essence, doujinshi is manga traded among
other manga artists. Manga for manga lovers!

Seemingly mundane events twist with an unusual presence of the unreal as
the psyche of ordinary people is explored. Depression, time, and thought are
redefined. Alive is a collection of melancholy love stories saturated
with sadness. Characters struggle to connect with one another but never quite
succeed. They are essentially alone. Enter a world that is dark and disturbing
— suicide is constantly contemplated and feelings of guilt, inadequacy,
and suppressed sexuality surface as identity itself becomes a terribly fragile
thing.
