12 | ''Fourteen'' is a scif-fi horror manga series by Kazuo Umezu. The manga takes place in a dystopic future, where a lump of chicken flesh from a chicken meat-growing factory transforms into a supermutant chicken man named "Chicken George". He goes on a mission to take revenge on humanity for ruining the planet. |

14 | Think of it as being a bit like what you'd get if Creator/DavidLynch decided to do a manga. |

16 | Not to be confused with ''[[Literature/FourteenPeterClines 14]]'' by Peter Clines. |

70 | %% * SignsOfTheEndTimes: A new one is introduced every few chapters. |
71 | * SurrealHorror: Like you wouldn't believe. The combination of the seemingly random, nonsensical plot with the highly realistic artwork and truckloads of BodyHorror gives it the feeling less of a science fiction story and more of a half-remembered nightmare. |
72 | %% * TalkingAnimal: Chicken Lucy. |
73 | * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: Chicken Lucy often tells people what she's feeling. You'd expect this to be a justified example, what with chickens not having many facial expressions and all, but often she doesn't say it with the spirit you'd expect. |
