Siren Rebirth

A manga adaptation of the Siren video game.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

It book is pretty mediocre by horror manga standards. I’ve played a bit of the Siren videogames and unfortunately Yukai Asada fails to capture the creepiness of the ‘shitibto’ living corpses. But what I didn’t know was that this manga is a reboot of an original Siren manga adaptation called Siren – Akai Umi no Yobigoe. That series went on indefinite hiatus when its manga artist Wataru Kamio became ill.

Siren Rebirth is literally a rebirth of the original manga adaptation that was supervised by the game developers of the Siren game. I’m happy that they got to finish this project almost 15 years after the original game. It’s just a shame I didn’t enjoy it.
