Pure Trance is a Shoujo Horror manga written and illustrated by Junko Mizuno, which was serialized from 1996 to 1998 in booklets accompanying Avex Track's Pure Trance techno compilation CDs and later compiled into a single volume. In this dreamy Science Fantasy, Junko Mizuno illustrates a story full of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experiments, and a girl who dreams of becoming a pop idol singer.Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. The underground citizens, no longer having meat, live on "Pure Trance", a life-sustaining Food Pill. A serious social problem has emerged in this new society: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the pill.The story follows Kaori Suzuki, a nurse working at Overeaters Treatment Center 102, a hospital which has been ruined by tyrannical director Keiko Yamazaki and her mistreatment of her workers. Kaori tries to make it through her miserable job, eventually rebelling against the director and fleeing to see the surface. | |

Ax-Crazy: The Director, on so many levels. Her thoughts on childcare? Turning a pair of twins into earrings, turning a really pretty girlchild into a stuffed doll and turning the last child into a cyborg maid. | |

Laser-Guided Karma | |
| Pure Trance (Manga) / int_90e31482 | comment |
Laser-Guided Karma: Keiko gets hit HARD with this. She has dreams of someone killing her. The daughters of the women she spectacularly failed to save escape to the surface world along with one of the many nurses she's been abusing under her employ. She manages to recapture and murder the nurse which earns the wrath of the young girls the nurse had raised. Three of the girls die but not before one of them gives birth to a fifth girl and the twins give their powers and spirit to the fourth so she can raise the baby. While this is going on, Keiko has hired another nurse who, unfortunately for her, is not as easily intimidated. With the help of a surface animal, a long-term patient and the other nurses, the new nurse gets Keiko put in jail, where she finally meets her end when the surface girls pass by and put an arrow through her heart. | |
