Description
The story is set in a dystopian alternative present where any kind of substance able to alter the state of mind is legalized and authorized for consumption at home or in designated places called Pomp Bars.
These products, once considered very dangerous, are now freely advertised on TV. The bartender chooses the ones more suited to his customers and serves them with special cocktails.

When the Pompies movement obtained the liberalization of the drugs it seemed a historically meaningful change destined to improve the world - a dream realized in a manner that radically affected humanity's way of life.
But in a world where all feelings are artificial and where everyone is a potential drug addict, nothing has really changed for the better. Only a select few drugs are considered dangerous and put under strict control by hygiene offices, which is given full authority to handle matters related to the severely addicted.
Kabu, a small-time peddler and heavy addict. Used to any kind of hallucinogenic trip, he is able to feel the happiness through the ecstasy of the drug, while on the same time hypocritically hating who gave birtn to that society which has forced him to the live this way.
After an overdose caused by mixing two incompatible drugs, he spends his days looking for stimulants until the encounter with an enigmatic man who offers him a new kind of illegal substance. Ultraheaven.
From that moment on his incredible journey begins - where dream and reality are fused in an undivided world - causing him both hysterical joy and unbearable pain. Less...

Sublime

Koike exceeds his inspiration Moebius by producing a work that pushes every boundary of what cartooning and illustration can be without succumbing to the excesses, unintelligibility, and esotericism which one can often find in experimental works which attempt to capture the psychedelic experience. Panels tear and bend while time and space flow freely backwards and forward to events both real and imagined; emotions rendered abstract and grounded. Yet, in spite of the seeming elimination of concepts as fundamental as cause and effect or any sense of what reality could or could not be, there remains a rather sensible narrative involving characters who are in circumstances which are understandable -- if not relatable -- regardless of the reader's own sobriety. Koike leaves every narrative and thematic door wide open. He produces his masterwork not as an egoistic expression of his artistic and spiritual completion, but as an expression of compassion directing the reader to the limitlessness which can await us. To Heaven.

I'm sure someone else can find a better way to describe this manga. Even better, anyone interested in reading it should go do so immediately.
There's no explaining it, but it's really great.
Reminds me of the dream sequences I had when I was a few years younger -- nonlinear, except when they were. And in fact, I'll be going back to dreaming now, since it's really late.

This is the type of manga where you can't differentiate between reality, memories, and hallucinations. It is incredibly unique not only in theme but the way he tells a story. It's completely non-linear and you have more questions than answers. Much like the characters, the audience participates in the blurring of reality and dreams, to the point where we are as confused and in for a ride as the characters are.

holy shit talk about mind fuck, while reading this several documentary and drug shows trying to link how this manga make sense. I have never been "high" beside the adrenaline and even that was nothing to the comparison of what happening in the story.

This is one of those manga that make 99% of all the other manga look like kids stories. Probably the best and most creative concept for a manga I have seen in a long time and it is handled expertly. The art is just insane and captures the intensity and insanity of a hallucinogenic experience unlike any other artists rendition of psychedelics. Its hard for me to say enough good things about this, if you enjoy unique art, and high-minded interesting plots there is no way you will not love this.
