Synopsis

What do two Japanese detectives, a naked man on a city street, and a roundworm from Botswana all have in common? In the first volume of Manhole, Ken Mizoguchi and Nao Inoue investigate a string of bloody and mysterious murders, but their work uncovers a deadly biological agent which poses a threat of epidemic proportions. An unlikely lead starts them in the pursuit of a mysterious self-titled photographer, but meanwhile the infections keep spreading. The series may be best described as the thrilling combination of a detective story with biological horror.

So, this is one of those very random unknown manga with surprisingly good art, only racking in 29 chapters, it's a very interesting ride through a pretty disturbing, impending doom kind manga, the start absolutely hooks you, presenting one of those out of context "what is going on" type moments of distress, of looking at something unpleasant, a horrifying sight that gets your hand into this world.

The main antagonist is designed well and likable to. I dig the "infection" and all the history surrounding it. A lot ...

----------------------- Manhole review ----------------------

This manga is a police/detective one, not so much horror or psychology in it.

Story :
Not the most original, but not too bad either.

Art :
Below average. Some pages have no shading, some other pages have some photoshopped textures that felt really cheap. Towards the end the art gets a bit better but it was so mediocre overall that I cannot give it a good score. Some main characters looked pasty white and flat because the mangaka put no shadi g, nothing on them.
