A horror manga about an Elementary school that gets transported to a strange remote world.
The Drifting Classroom is a classic horror manga by the famed master of horror Kazuo Umezz. The series is pretty tame compared to more extreme horror works but that is due to The Drifting Classroom being targeted for children. In that sense this manga may not be suited for most horror fans but if you want to see where Junji Ito got his inspiration from then I recommend you read this series.
It’s available in English from VIZ.
