Book SynopsisAfter heading south to investigate the place known as Tomato Heaven, Maru and Kiruko head back to Tokyo via a “ferry”. But they are ambushed at sea by one of the man-eating Hiruko monsters. This specific beast is amphibious, making him extremely deadly as he can easily take cover in the sea. Meanwhile in the school, Tokio, with the help of his classmate Kuku, uncovers a frightening secret. Maybe life is not what it seems at all. Maybe those who are inside the walls are not in heaven. And maybe the walls are there to keep them all inside!Trade Review Heavenly Delusion does many things, and it does them well. Ishiguro makes great use of contrast particularly in building up atmosphere and setting. All this is realized with delicate, detailed linework, with what little shading is there done through pen-and-ink techniques such as crosshatching. Its central characters think and act and talk like human beings[...] One thing it does not do, however, is give any answers. Not a single one.[T]here are way too many unique storylines and elements set-up that are fascinating to read, and it only begs for me to learn more. If you’re in need of a sci-fi manga, you won’t be making a mistake checking this one out. -- Justin * The OASG *

Her biting, informed commentary and ponytailed avatar guides the reader from the darkest chapters of history (a clitoridectomy performed on a five-year-old American child as late as 1948) to the lightest (vulvas used as architectural details as a symbol of protection). Like Alison Bechdel and Jacky Fleming, she uses the comics medium to reveal uncomfortable truths about how far we haven''t come.''Just the thing for all the feminists in your lTrade ReviewHow I loved reading Liv Strömquist's Fruit of Knowledge. Mostly, this was down to its sheer, punchy brilliance: should you be in possession of a teenage daughter, you absolutely must buy it for her and all her friends, in addition to those copies you will now immediately purchase for yourself and all of yours . . . If her strips are clever, angry, funny and righteous, they're also informative to an eye-popping degree . . . every page is so fantastically acute -- Rachel Cooke * Observer *Brilliantly drawn, cleverly researched and deeply funny * Times Literary Supplement *Impeccably researched [and] enormously funny ... Almost every page is so brilliantly and wittily written and unarguably righteous that it is constantly tempting to show the book to the nearest person. This is a sure sign that this is a work of unusual excellence. Buy two copies - one to read and keep and one to lend out - and make peace with the idea that you may need to get more in time * The Quietus *Feminist, snappy, instructive and hilarious! * Time Out Paris *Liv Strömquist's refreshing humour and visionary ability truly make me rejoice' * Goteborgs-Posten *Imagine if you could walk through the world with a Liv Strömquist at your side. The moment you stumbled on an injustice or an error in thinking, you could point her at the culprit like a loaded wit-revolver, instead of having to stand there digging through your own murky arguments * Expressen *Will appeal to fans of popular feminist authors like Caitlin Moran ... Through witty illustrations and punchy text, the book examines society's love-hate relationship with women's sexuality ... Buy it for your teenage granddaughter and have a peek yourself * The Lady *A lively, educational and anti-idiot oration on one of society's less comfortably discussed topics * Strong Words *There are moments of genuine hilarity, as when Strömquist pictures the dinner party chatter of men living under a matriarchy, and others of fierce anger in this wild, witty and vital book * Guardian *Fruit of Knowledge: The Vulva vs the Patriarchy, is just the thing for all the feminists in your life, particularly those of a younger generation * Observer Books of the Year *This book made me laugh in public (and also cry a little). It is the book I gave to my younger sister the next time I saw her because of its anger and brilliance and because it is an overwhelming source of knowledge about things we should all already know * Daisy Johnson *
