| Summary | Harukichi, a naive Japanese carpenter, travels to the St. Louis Exposition, his simple world already reeling from the dizzying concept of a 'round Earth.' But his disorientation truly begins when he's entangled with the alluring Miss Chiichi, who leads him into the sinister clutches of Cant Deck, a notorious gang leader. Below the city's glittering facade, Harukichi discovers a grotesque underworld where lives are forfeit and secrets are guarded by a terrifying "gari-gari machine"—a device rumored to turn humans into sausage. Coerced into crafting a mysterious mechanism, he faces an impossible choice: comply and betray his principles, or defy Deck and become the next ingredient. Can this ordinary craftsman escape the butcher's block and the chilling fate that awaits him? |
