A manga about people who are trapped in a subway tunnel filled with horrific animals who are hunting them.

This is a decent horror manga but nothing unique. It follows a lot of horror troupes such as individuals who betray the group, individuals who lose their sanity, and individuals who sacrifice themselves to save others. I enjoyed these troupes in Nokuto Koike‘s previous work 6000 a lot more. Horror is obviously a strong point for Koike but this work feels a little flat for me.

Available to read online in Japanese on Comic Days.

A horror manga about an haunted underwater facility 6000 meters below sea level and the humans who become trapped inside.

A decent horror manga that’s actually a bit scary. Combines Lord of the Flies style group insanity along with cosmic horror right out of H.P. Lovecraft. Nokuto Koike’s art definitely creeped me out. I also appreciated it’s shorter length.

I’d recommend this for horror fans.
