Utsurun Desu

Densen (伝染るんです。) is a legendary absurdist manga by Sensha Yoshida, serialized from 1989 to 1994. This surreal comedy defies conventional storytelling with its nonsensical plots, talking animals like Kawauso-kun (the iconic otter), and deadpan delivery. Often regarded as a precursor to modern absurd humor in Japanese media, its influence spans far beyond gag manga, resonating in TV shows and internet culture.

Rather than focusing on linear narrative, Densen delivers brief, punchy strips where the humor lies in awkward silences, irrational logic, and characters who act with unsettling calmness. Yoshida’s distinctive art style—simple yet expressive—enhances the surreal charm of every panel.

Perfect for fans of unconventional, dry, and eccentric humor, this cult classic continues to infect new generations of readers with laughter. Get immersed in the quiet chaos of Densen—a manga that lives up to its name: "It’s contagious."
