| THIS IS A MANGA ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS ANYTHING BEYOND THIS CHAPTER. ---------------------------------------- Just finished reading this, felt completely short and I'd love to read more of this. |
 |
| Me too, I love it's graphics. |
| I really liked the story full of mystery and horror, during reading it you're actually able to feel the main protagonist's environment which is full of tension... and of-course the Art work of the Manga is brilliant. |
| I love the twist ending, it was unexpected yet the progression was there from the start. And god, the artwork is brilliant. |
 |
| Read this a while ago. Masterpiece. |
 |
| Pretty good read. Liked the twist at the end, reminds me of Ibitsu's ending a bit. |
 |
| This was fucking amazing. Brilliant art, nice chilling atmosphere and a perfect ending. 9/10 |
 |
| wow.. for a 1 volume manga.. it was a great read. |
| The irony.. Well It way decent. Only wished to see more killing o well. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| That twist caught me so off guard this was a delightfully fucked up manga delving deep into the darkest thoughts of the human mind, had great suspense and phenomenal art |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Well, that was interesting. The ending is perfect for a series like this. |
| Admirable ending. I was afraid it would be given the romantic happy ending given the circumstances. A solid read for a single volume work. |
| Seems most enjoyed it. I wasn't taken by it so much, so little explained. Who were the old man and child? How did they all eat and get enough water down there? What happened to the family (he said he was lonely)? How the hell did he get so fucked up (I mean, it's just a little to unreasonable)? Whatever, short, sweet, entertaining. But by no means the best. |
 |
| This was a really good and underrated manga. |
Mauseum said: I think you're seeing it the wrong way, the manga tells a little story and more than all, portrays an atmosphere, which is greatly delivered by the artwork and the storytelling.Seems most enjoyed it. I wasn't taken by it so much, so little explained. Who were the old man and child? How did they all eat and get enough water down there? What happened to the family (he said he was lonely)? How the hell did he get so fucked up (I mean, it's just a little to unreasonable)? Whatever, short, sweet, entertaining. But by no means the best. On the other hand, the author is good enough to balance the sheer emotion and horror of the canvern story and the flashbacks so the manga it's not everwhelming. The lenght is perfect so the story doesn't drag too much and we don't get tired of the characters The only things I have some complains is that I could see the twist since the last two/three chapters and we didn't get enough of the woman I read this whilie listening the Aku no Hana soundtrack, an awesome experience 8/10 |

| I liked how Seiichi's left eye was still shown as injured years later. That fight must have left quite a toll on his body though. |

Just finished the manga and have to agree with that statement on most accounts. The entirety of the volume from the plot, set-up, and execution were all done well, but that's pretty much all this manga had going for it aside from the obvious confusions it had and made. The only category in which this manga did beyond that was the artwork, which is superb in the context of a horror manga, and some might even argue the entertainment factor which I wouldn't rule against. Although, It barely attempted to take risks outside its cookie-cutter plot, and "twist" ending which most everyone saw coming. Now for the questions that were posed in this short manga: Is the old guy living in the cave whom Seiichi killed suppose symbolically represent his father-in-law? One might draw to that conclusion as the flashbacks occurred at the same time. Then again, the old guy was suppose to be the dad... so, back to square one. Maybe Seiichi killing the father was suppose to symbolically represent him killing the type of person/dad he used to be, and starting that "new life" that's generously mentioned every chapter. Don't mean to attempt to answer ever one of your questions, but as for the food and water thing, I think that's why people were going missing, and those captured people inside the cave were missing limbs and such. There body parts were being cut from them alive and eaten by the family... some gruesome imagery indeed. The family seems to resemble the three of the cast, most notably when Juun is compared to the cave boy... what does this even mean? I feel like this story has a case of "The Cage of Eden" where it doesn't even know what its own ending is suppose to mean. The most logical conclusion I can draw from this is that everything that happened is a hallucination of sorts and he went crazy from the constant droning of his in-law's, killed them both as depicted in the last couple chapters, and forced his living wife and son to the cave where they lived their lives eating tourists. Makes a bit of sense given the fact that he never refers to them as his "new wife and child" just his "wife and child", although its still a stretch and I feel I'm thinking too much into it. Yes, it was a fine read, and the MC did seem relateable to a certain extent as he had clearly gone mad past the point of chapter 1. All of that makes Hideout a 7 for me. Not much else to say besides that the questions still stand, any help or discussion from readers would be much appreciated. |

| Brilliant. The art style, the backstory, the interactions between Seiichi and his wife and their tragic son's death. Brilliant. |
 |
| Really good, probably the best one shot I own. Intense pacing, the story might not be super refreshing or original, but what counts is whether it works. And it totally does! Backstory/flashback was brilliantly placed, none manga I've read before used something similar. When you think about it, characters act almost like real people (though wife was too one-dimensional), I only wish we learned more about the prisoned woman. And the kid. I felt SO sorry for them! Still, it's short and it has AMAZING artstyle, drawings are creepy and yet somehow beautiful... 8/10 Absolutely enjoyed it. |
  |
| Not bad, a little bit like The Hills Have Eyes-esq in plot. A good read. |
| I thought he got to swap the ugly one for a hot one, but nope, he killed her. I was actually showing pity for the MC until this final chapter. Meh. This series wasn't really that scary. Overused the close-in eyeshot. Atmosphere wasn't really great either. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| The 'twist' everyone's talking about, I could see it coming from a mile away... Ever since he 'accidentally' called the ugly kid 'jun', I knew where it was headed. Waaaay too much black ink, I couldn't see a dang thing. Not enough blood and gore, we didn't even get to see that guy being cannibalized properly. The scenes drag on & on & on... Aaaaand ugly == scary. The only good part is that the stupid bitch got what she deserved at the end. And the actual artwork (or what was visible anyway) wasn't bad either. |
| Wtf? I liked the concept of the manga, but I expected too much. Even though his wife was not a good person, she didn't deserve to die. It's like that movie trope of cowards never get to live in horror movies. Also, wtf? Did he kill that other poor woman and her son at the end? Wtf? Reading this I was honestly expecting the Descent or the Beast in the Cave/The Lurking Fear, but honestly the characters were just very not believable. Like who is honestly a mean, god damn bitch all the time? Also, it portrayed this woman as not loving him at all? If she didn't marry him for love what did she marry him for? He's a fucking writer, they don't make no money. So, how is she portrayed as a bitch that just likes to shop all day? Also, why the fuck were the child and the old man deformed, but not the woman? She had to have been living in that cave longer than that kid, but she didn't look fucked up. And then at the end the writer was all deformed like them, too? Like that makes it obvious that this is not some deformity that these people of the cave have, but just the author of the manga making them look hideous to scare the reader into thinking these creatures are sinister or other worldly to the reader. Even though it turned out different than I expected, if it had turned out in a good way, I wouldn't have minded it, but this story just seemed kind of slapdash and crappy. Honestly, the writer of the manga and the writer in the manga have that in common as in the quality of their writing is shit. |
| The twist was pretty obvious. It was a good read, a shame that was so short. |
| He survived the explosion...and gone completely insane. He saw himself in the monster so much that he started thinking exactly like him, eventually turning into the very same monster he was running away from. The story ended on an unfortunate note and the cycle consequently continues. This was also one of the few manga that made it hard for me to breathe because of actual anxiety. I like that the author ended up doing the same stuff he loved as a child and even explored a cave to find inspiration for drawing the manga. |
 |
| Pretty decent short read, liked how it felt pretty similar to horror movies like The Hills Have Eyes or The Descent, the ugly child asking for his "mommy" was my least favorite part tho, felt a bit stupid and out of place compared with everything else in the story. |
 |
| Man oh man! What a way to end it. The psychopath had evolved into the monster. Now that I think about it, he probably killed the sweet child too :( This is actually a really good short horror manga. The art style was top-notch. |

| I could feel those eyes staring into my sole, they were my favorite part Cover for the volume is 10/10 |
| Throughout this manga i wanted the dude to live but in the end he turned insane still a great read though |
 |
| The manga is so overrated. More people should see it. The art is very good and the characters are so cool. The story is mega simple and does not cover up the reader. But the end... I don't have words how to described this final... The author is make one of the best plot twist ever! Sorry if you guys don't understand some of my sentences. I'm still learn English. :) |
