Cutelittlenose Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 No but may i ask what is it.It's a manga by Kazuhiro Fujita. The story is really complicated to explain without many spoilers, but overall, it's all really complicated, but so worth it. Zonapha syndrome, within the world of the manga, is an incurable disease that causes great pain and difficulty in breathing in the sufferers, usually triggered by someone being upset. The only way to relieve the symptoms is to make the other person smile/laugh.One of the main characters, Narumi Katou, contracted the disease while in China, and can no longer practice Kung Fu because of his condition, so he must go back to Japan. However, his condirion makes it tough for him to find work. So, he's at work, having trouble breathing (because he's not very funny), when a kid named Masuru Saiga laughs, seeing his pathetic attempt at humor. But, the kid ends up getting attacked by some strange gus and Narumi decides to follow, and the two eventually meet up with Shirogane, a strange, stoic girl who was sent to protect Masaruu. She doesn't know how to laugh. There's also a lot of puppets.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakuri_CircusI really, really want to link to the manga or post pictures, because I love this manga. I only described a bit of the first chapter. Link to comment

Cutelittlenose Posted April 15, 2018 Author Share Posted April 15, 2018 I know this post is nearly 3 years old, but it's important. A week or two ago I learned that Karakuri Circus will be getting an anime. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YjiQc9-XaU Guys!!!! Karakuri Circus is getting an anime!! It's my favorite manga!!! The anime will be 36 episodes long and exclusively streamed by Amazon Video. There's no airdate or list of voice actors yet, but it will be coming. The manga is by Kazuhiro Fujita. Karakuri Circus has been partially fan-translated into English. If you're interested in some of his work, The Ghost and the Lady (2 volumes) has been officially translated into English. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-ghost-and-…/1123606540… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karakuri_Circus (information on Karakuri Circus) Link to comment
