Optic Nerve's entire goal is to examine the most awkward points in people's lives and it does so spectacularly.

A teenage girl annoyed at her emo sister, a nerd being annoyed by delinquents and unsure if he should resist, and a man who's painting his grandfathers house and remembering his porn collection.

There isn't a moral and any finality to the stories, they just end and leave this upsetting, awkward feeling. It's incredible, and dare I say, Tomine's style! ( )

The first story sucked, but the last one won me over.
