Cthulhu no Yobigoe

A manga adaptation of H.P. Lovecraft‘s Call of Cthulhu.

It was interesting to read an adaptation of Lovecraft that isn’t done by Gou Tanabe. While Kousuke Miyazaki‘s character art is a simpler style than Tanabe’s art, they are still able to effectively convey the cosmic horror you would expect from the Lovecraft universe. Miyazaki did a particularly great job with the monstrous look of Cthulhu from “The Madness from the Sea” chapter. I also like how in between chapters there were essays by Cthulhu mythos scholar Ryo Morise that introduced Lovecraft and other writers who were influential to the cosmic horror genre.
