July's manga / #Horror(16)

Prequel for Sweet Home, but so far, it's not as captivating as its predecessor. I'm not warning up to the main character, and I preferred the other artist's style over this one's. Not that it's bad, but this person likes to use a very limited color palette. The pacing is also much less intense. We'll see if it gets better.

One of the best horror and mystery manga I've read. The art is gorgeous. Definitely not for the faint of heart or those with weak stomachs. All the gory details of dead bodies are drawn without censors. It's a shame Dark Horse Comics stopped translating past Volume 14.

Less gory compared to the original series, Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service. It focuses more on the supernatural and follows how a famous Japanese writer solves mysteries and finds out the truth behind ghost stories. Pretty cool, it's a shame that the translators stopped translating this work.

A manhua like Parasyte. Very interesting, but sadly, it's only a one shot. Leaves me wanting more. Art is great and panels progress fluidly.

A bit like "The Ring," where people die one after another after receiving a supernatural omen, in this case, the victim's own last words via a voicemail on their phone a few days before their actual day of death. The voice messages come from the future and announce down to the minute when someone will die. Then it turns out the cause of these tragic events originate from a girl with unnatural gifts who had been wrongfully killed for being "different", and now she's wreaking havoc on the people who caused her death and extending her vengeance on even the unsuspecting people around them. Except in this story, it's much more confusing as there's too many characters and they all look the same, and it just makes no sense as the plot jumps back and forth between them erratically and unpredictably. I could barely follow the plot, and I was left scratching my head at the end wondering what I just read. Art is below average for a manga.

Interesting concept, well done gore-filled art. The child exorcist is actually an old lady, and she has powers like Kirby. It was short and simple, and while I didn't see the twist coming straight away, it wasn't all that shocking to me. Overall, a good fast read. May not be for people who get disgusted by depictions of blood and viscera.
