Continue readingDai Dark
A manga about a young man who is hunted through the darkest reaches of space for his bones that will supposedly grant any wish if captured.
This is Q Hayashida‘s newest manga and it’s just as strange and wonderful as Dorohedoro. This one takes place in space but everything has that unique Hayashida aesthetic. Spaceships and spacesuits alike have a very flesh-like look to them. Even the protagonist Sanko wears a skin of darkness that looks like a tattered robe. He wields an axe that easily separates the bones from it’s victims. Even his backpack transforms into a walking skeleton companion.
It’s really interesting to see the theme of bones throughout this manga so far but like any Hayashida series I’ll have to read more to learn about everything.

Dorohedoro
After 13 years this dark fantasy series is finally finished. I loved Q-Hayashida’s amazing artwork and I’m happy to see this manga completed.
There’s an anime adaptation in the works and I’m excited to see how it will turn out!

Dorohedoro
I’ve been a fan of Q Hayashida since her manga adaptation of Maken X. She’s been writing Dorohedoro since 1999 and it’s finally going to be ending soon. We’ve discussed it on a podcast but her art style and creative design stand out.
