Warning: this manga has gore in it

This manga is an emotional rollercoaster, at first, it looks like a slice of life manga however the true horror starts to happen later on. This story takes place during WW2 in Okinawa, these young girls are recruited to become nurses to aid the injured soldiers. They have to nurse grotesque injuries which takes a toll on their psyches. Many devastating things happen during this story but they continue to keep a positive mindset. The art is nice and suits the manga greatly. The characters are really good, they perfectly depict how children would react to working as combat ... nurses.

Overall I enjoyed this manga a lot and rate it an 8.5/10. I do recommend this to anyone because this is a great emotional story.

*Quick warning this manga is not for the faint of heart or easily offended*

This is a horror anthology manga about bizarre mystery cases, Every chapter is its own separate story however they relate to sexual violence. Although the author uses surrealism in his work the book is still pretty intense. The stories are well written and the crimes are interesting. The art is great and does its job of making the reader disturbed. The characters are very good, sometimes there is empathy for the characters, and other times there is disgust.

Overall, I enjoyed this manga and rate it an 8/10. I do recommend it ... for those who like a good mystery manga.

This is the first manga I've read by Okoshi Koutarou, this manga is an anthology that uses the theme of Surrealism. Most stories are not that hard to follow, each chapter has a character that's trying to fulfill their desires in bizarre ways. Most of the time they're sexual perversions but their desires are backed up with well-written backstories. Most of the time them trying to satisfy their desires ends up backfiring on them. The art is outstanding in this manga, everything is drawn greatly. The characters are very good and play their roles greatly.

Overall, I enjoyed this manga a lot and rate it ... an 8/10. I'd say this is a must-read.

The story for this one-shot is easy to follow. A mentally ill boy killed and dismembered his classmate. He was then released from prison after serving his 20 years, he now runs a meat shop as a professional butcher. He meets a young girl named Alice who ran away from an abusive home. While taking care of her, he still has the same morbid thoughts of dismembering women. I do not want to spoil the whole story so you will have to read it to see what happens. The art is pretty good, nothing too detailed or poorly drawn. (there are gory scenes that are ... not detailed but still messed up to see) The characters are well written and play their roles perfectly in the story.

Overall I give this an 8.5/10. This one-shot is very well written and is only around 50 pages long, everyone should read it whether they like horror or not.

This incomplete horror anthology consists of gory and detailed violence so if you are sensitive to that then I would not recommend it. For those who are interested the story is about these two orphaned kids named Toshio and Maki, these two are always getting into these supernatural ventures. Maki can use psychic abilities which she uses to help solve these paranormal ventures. The pacing for each chapter is extremely fast, things escalate quickly and end up being repetitive for each chapter. The last two chapters have decent pacing and have actual substance compared to the others. The characters are good and are significant to ... the plot. The art is well done, the violence and gore are detailed and grotesque to look at which is cool.

Overall, I give this manga a 6.5 out of 10. If you enjoy horror anthologies with gory scenes then this is a must-read.

This manga fits into the Ero Guro genre due to its explicit amount of nudity and gore throughout the chapters. This anthology has a mix of Fantasy and Horror, the stories stay consistent and enjoyable. Story 5 was easily the best due to the great characters and art it had, that one was very unique compared to the others. The art varies through each chapter but for the most part, it was very good. Some chapters had decent characters and others had well-written characters.

Overall I enjoyed this manga, if you are a fan of horror then definitely give this one a read. If you ... don't like gore then at least read story 5 as it is the strongest narratively speaking.

This story shows a girl defending herself and her family, she ends up killing the intruder which messes with her head. She becomes demented and psychotic causing her to play with the dead intruders' organs in both a morbid and sexual way. To me this shows how defending yourself by taking another person's life can take a toll on your mental health and mindset.

Overall this manga was decent as I viewed it in a psychological way rather than a sadistic view that it was meant to be seen in. This is a one-shot comic consisting of around 30 pages so I would recommend it.

This horror manga anthology has different gloomy and disturbing short stories for each chapter. Some stories may have a good consistent plot and others may not make sense and just be sadistic. The art is good as the character designs are unique and fit in the historical settings that they're in. The characters are mediocre at best, they end up doing dumb and illogical things that get them killed or maimed. However, some chapters end up having a depressing ending for the characters.

Overall I thought this manga is a 6/10 due to some flaws that I listed above. If you enjoy historical horror then ... you should give this a read.

This story may be relatable to people who have disabilities and are treated as if they're really special when instead they'd want to be treated as a normal person. As equals to their peers. This narrative does a really good job at showing how those types of people feel. The art in this manga is really good even though it's a one-shot comic, the way the main character is drawn is phenomenal. The characters are very good as their roles are significant towards the ... progression of the story and moral.

Overall I enjoyed this story a lot, if you like reading stories with an easy-to-understand meaning then this is a must-read.

This is easily my favorite horror anime, some may say that it's too disturbing or it was boring and it lacked a consistent plot. However, this passion project made by Maruo, Suehiro aka the horror legend is good if you invest yourself towards the plot and do not have high expectations as TikTok has shown to do. The story has consisted of an mc that has a depressing backstory, an unsafe and treacherous environment, and disturbing surreal scenes. All these gloomy events happened to a young girl which makes it even more unfortunate, the ending is also very psychological and leaves the viewers' minds broken. ... The art and animation were well done and unique compared to other anime considering it was made during the '80s by one man alone. The characters were of huge significance toward the plot progression, from them having disabilities and working in a freak show making the vibe feel very surreal.

Overall I enjoyed this film a lot, if you also enjoy horror as much as I do and do not want to watch this just because of TikTok but rather you'd invest in the story then give this one a watch! you won't regret it.
