Utsubora: The Story of a Novelist

A manga about a veteran novelist who plagiaries the work of a woman. When she commits suicide he is visited by a woman claiming to be her twin sister. What does this woman want and is she who she claims to be?

We’ve discussed this in a recent episode.

This book is more of a psychological thriller than a violent horror manga. Asumiko Nakamura draws equally elegant and erotic art. While the story itself might suffer from some confusion Nakamura’s artwork alone makes this series worth reading.

Available in English from Vertical.
