So I bought this Manga the other day because the cover was really cool, but I have no idea what it is or what it’s called. It seems to be some sort of horror comic about butterflies that eat people.

Since I know that I now have some Japanese readers (Maho m(_ _)m) I thought I’d ask here what the Manga is actually called.

    That’s some really good design there. I would certainly have bought it too, without knowing what it was!

  • Dxe

    Yeah, that looks just awesome. I’m asking around to see if anybody knows, will post back if I get answers ;P

    Also, that Obi(帯:The paper strip that wraps around the cover), it says

    「卑怯者の君へ、怠け者の君へ、
    嘘つきの君へ、臆病者の君へ＿＿＿。」

    “To you who are traitorous, to you sho are lazy,
    To you who are lying, to you who are cowardly___.”

    I think it’s poetic expression, so don’t take them litterally… ^o^:

    It’s “虹ヶ原　ホログラフ (Nijigahara Horogurafu : nijigahara holograph)” by 浅野いにお(Inio Asano).
    I haven’t read it yet, but it seems like it’s not horror comic ^^;

    Some imformation/review/forum about this one.

    If you like horror manga, I recommend you to try 寄生獣 (Parasyte)”“. (I coudn’t find raw…)
    It’s frickin’ awesome!
    Also, I’m sure you already know this, but Akira manga is truly masterpiece.

    …Hmm, haven’t I pushed too hard to you?? Well, you don’t need to try them all, but I’m pretty sure you’ll enjoy them ^^.

    Oh, I failed comments… -_-;

    寄生獣(Parasyte)
    It’s awsome in both of horror and psychological.

    Akira manga
    Epic.

    Ah Maho already here, didn’t get an answer from any of my friends. Some good info about the book, from reading that URL it seems awesome. The cover already gave that impression tho :) Looks like you did a nice purchase with this Fredrik!

    I have the movie Akira, haven’t read any of the Manga tho.

    Little off topic; Downloaded NeoTokyo last week (free game, need Steam tho) It has some cool shit, check out this URL and you understand what I mean:

    Thanks Maho ＼（＾ ＾）／
    You can’t push me too hard :P I always love getting information!
    The comments you posted ended up in spam because of the links and stuff but I look through it more often now so I caught it right away and it’s all right. Thanks again!

    @Dxe, good tip, will check it out! And big thanks to you too for trying to check up on it!

  • Maho

    Oh, so that’s why I coudn’t comment. Didn’t I post so many times?? Haha.
    I’m relieved to hear that!
    Btw, I wrote this in Eemma’s blog, but JUNKUDO book shop, in the Shinjuku Mitsukoshi ALCOTT is nice place for sit down on a chair and read/check books.
    I’m always heap books by my side and read them as much as I like, pretend I’m in the library. ^o^;;
