Horror Manga That Are Beyond Scary
This slow-building zombie series was adapted into a live-action which was released in 2016. The series follows 35-year-old Hideo Suzuki, a manga assistant whose life isn't going according to plan. His low-paying job is the least of his worries, as he is also plagued by hallucinations and low self-esteem.
Things change forever when a strange virus turns people into zombies, plunging the world around Hideo into an unprecedented level of chaos. The manga is a slow burn, and the descent into the apocalypse is interesting as the manga builds into it by slowly, but once the cat's out of the bag, the manga becomes a major thriller with an unusual protagonist.
Shintarō Jagasaki is a jaded neighbourhood police officer who is tired of his monotonous life. He often fantasizes about shooting people who annoy him with his gun, much like the eggplant mascot of his resident Buppa Town, Master Buppanasu. He also plans on marrying his girlfriend, but he lacks a lust for life until one day, he witnesses a gruesome murder committed by a monstrous man. The creature also kills Shintarō's partner, before turning his gaze towards Shintarō himself.
