Misu Misou

A manga about a middle school girl who takes murderous revenge on a group of bullies who burned her house down and killed her family.

Man the violence in this manga is something else. It’s quite shocking to read this if you only know Rensuke Oshikiri from his video game romance Hi Score Girl. The book is filled with so many gritty scenes of dismemberment, gore, and blood splatter, it really feels like a terrifying horror movie. The reactions of the victims particularly bring a real unsettling sense of reality to the violence that is often forgettable in other manga.

I really like how Oshikiri tells this tragedy. A single event compounds the problems between the students that lead to circumstances where everyone meets a gruesome end. Also, it has the worst and pathetic teacher I’ve ever seen in fiction

It’s a dark story but enjoyable if you can stomach the violence.
