Juuman

A manga about 5 people who grow giant and must devour an alien blob called Manjuu to keep it enveloping the world.

This is one of the best and unique sci-fi stories I’ve read in a long while. Jun Hanyunyu is basically doing a take on the popular Ultraman series. The 5 humans are all different with their own unique problems that prevent them from working together effectively. As the story progresses they continuously fail at containing the manjuu until everything falls apart. I really enjoyed the dark ending because none of these terrible people should ever be able to enjoy a happy ending.

Short and sweet. I continue to enjoy Hanyunyu’s stuff.
