Satsujin Ryoudan – MADMEN –

A manga where a young man trapped on an island full of sadistic killers must survive and save his loved one.

The problem we have here is that nothing in this manga is really original or impressive. Everything from the design of the killers and scientific human Frankenstein’s monsters to the scenarios the survivors are put in looks like they’ve been ripped off of a horror movie or scary video game. Ryuhaku Nagata’s artwork isn’t strong enough to create anything that I thought was gross or scary. This whole concept is better executed in Kichikujima.

It’s currently available to read on Magazine Pocket and I kinda feel like it’s there because it wouldn’t make the cut for a print serialization.
