Creature!

Creature!

A horror manga about grotesque monsters emerging from the ground after an earthquake across Japan.

We’ve discussed this manga on an older episode.

Wow, I didn’t know that they put out an English release of Hakaijuu! Though I question the generic title of Creature!, this series is great if you want to experience what Darfox calls “creepy monster pasta”! Shingo Honda has excellent monster designs are plenty of gory action to keep you satisfied!

Available in English from Akita Publishing Co.,Ltd.

Kyoryū Senki

A manga about a young man who swears revenge against the legendary dragon, Yamata no Orochi, that has resurrected and is wreaking havoc across Japan.

I was really surprised to see that Shingo Honda started this series in Weekly Shonen Magazine. His Hakaijuu series was a decent hit but it was more like a big fish in a small pond. This manga struggled against more popular series and ended up being canceled after 3 volumes. I just think Honda’s brand of horror and monsters isn’t suited for popular platforms.

Kiriko

A manga about a group of former classmates who are anonymously invited to their middle school where they get hunted down by a horrific monster who is the girl they bullied to death.

Decent horror manga. The premise and plot is really generic but Shingo Honda‘s design of Kiriko is great. She has long limbs covered with cigarette burns and a terrifying face and as she kills off the classmates she grows larger and larger. The horrific designs were the highlight of this single volume manga. If you want to enjoy more of Honda’s creepy monsters I recommend checking out his Hakaijuu series as well.
