Japanese comic about a boy who drinks oil and full of pimples

I was reading this Japanese comic (in English) that was sent to me. No idea what the title is but the comic is about a girl who lives in a house that is covered with fats. She has a brother who loves drinking oil and one day he developed pimples all over his face. It's a very strange comic but I love it. Maybe I should turn this into a movie.
