Since I’m completely broke, I’m renting an apartment with a shady past. Not that anything’s actually happened there. It just feels like “something” might appear. You know, ghosts, goblins, bad luck, and all that. I’m not worried about that though. Or so I thought until a ghost really did appear! And at the same time, I let out a fart, just like that. This is how my cohabitation with Yuko the ghost began. The bizarre days spent with her gradually became more and more ordinary… Then those ordinary days became irreplaceable… *Source: Manga UP!

Two outlaws and a baby search for freedom in this road-trip epic that combines sci-fi thrills with endearing family comedy! Morgan never had any luck. At 10 years old, he was abandoned by his parents, and 20 years later the mob began to demand payment of the debt they left him. Penniless, the only way to pay it off was to become a lab rat for Nguyen, master of the criminal world. Society’s rejects, and nonhumans in particular, end up under his orders as killers, prostitutes or forced laborers. Morgan wakes up with a tube on his back and…an exceptional force! His identity is gone: He’s damned to a life of servitude. When everything seems lost, Lisa, the last of her species and a slave to the mob, proposes a plan to escape. It doesn’t go so smoothly, and the fugitives find themselves with a baby in their luggage—and they choose to bring him with them! The two protagonists have neither combat experience nor resources, but their thirst for freedom is unparalleled. An exciting and wholesome story of an unlikely found family, Badducks is the debut series from Toryumon Takeda, a rising star of Japanese comics.
