Brace Yourself for This Year’s Most Terrifying Horror Manga with a Preview of a Horrific New Series

‘Manhole‘ introduces a chilling blend of horror and mystery across its three volumes. Detectives Ken Mizoguchi and Nao Inoue unravel a series of murders that might lead to a global pandemic.

The story kicks off with gripping tension as readers discover a biological threat through forensic clues and a suspenseful narrative.

In the first volume of ‘Manhole,’ a standard autopsy at the Sasahara Police Department reveals horrifying details.

Medical examiner Tadao Sugano finds unusual signs on a body, including traces of trichloromethane and unusually swollen blood vessels.

The plot thickens when Sugano uncovers a large parasite inside the cadaver’s eye, transforming a routine examination into a nightmare.

The narrative effectively uses body horror to enhance the unsettling nature of the autopsy scene. The sight of an eyelid opening to reveal a writhing worm-like creature offers a shocking glimpse into the dangers the detectives are up against.

Joining ‘Manhole’ on the shelves is ‘Leviathan,’ another manga catering to sci-fi and horror enthusiasts.

Releasing simultaneously, ‘Leviathan‘ explores the dark confines of a deserted spaceship.

The plot unfolds through a diary found by looters, chronicling the mental deterioration of the crew as their oxygen supply dwindles. The gripping illustrations by Shiro Kuroi complement the story’s eerie atmosphere.

Both ‘Manhole’ and ‘Leviathan’ are available now in North American bookstores, with the promise to deliver perfect Halloween scares. For more on these series, check out their Abrams ComicArts pages.

‘Manhole’ and ‘Leviathan’ are available as of October 29, 2024, in bookstores, and October 30, 2024, in comic shops.
