The Laughing Vampire. Volume 1

"I recently turned twelve years old.
Three years ago, my father left us, and mom and I started living alone. When mom died, I didn't know what to do.
The owner of a traveling circus, captivating me with beautiful words, persuaded me... to join his troupe. But instead of paradise, I ended up in hell.
The life of a circus performer is so hard that I am seriously contemplating suicide. I can't sleep at night, I don't go to school, and I don't know what will happen to me the next day.
I am consumed by fear and uncertainty. What should I do? What to do?"
The famous Japanese graphic artist Suehiro Maruo presents to the reader the tragic story of the young orphan Midori Tsubaki, who attempted to break free from the ugly world of circus illusions into an equally ugly real world.
