Description
The chilling second volume manga adaptation of Uketsu’s bestselling horror phenomenon, brought to life by artist Aiba Noriyuki.
From Japan’s breakout horror sensation comes a chilling new manga experience.
Strange Pictures is the spine-tingling manga adaptation of Uketsu’s bestselling novel, brought vividly to life by artist Aiba Noriyuki. Uketsu — the enigmatic masked writer who has become one of Japan’s most talked-about authors — first captivated readers. Now, the terror unfolds panel by panel.
At its core lie nine childlike sketches. A pregnant woman’s doodles on her blog conceal a dire warning. A boy’s simple drawing of his home hides a message no child should know. A murder victim’s final sketch becomes a clue that drags an amateur sleuth into a labyrinth of secrets. Each picture is innocent at first glance — yet when pieced together, they reveal a web of unsolved mysteries and shattered psyches.
Some images fade, but these horrors will be etched in your memory.
This second volume features a gripping tale of a child who knows more than he should. What starts as an innocent drawing reveals a dark secret that lingers on a mother’s psyche. A creeping presence seems to follow her, watching her and dredging up fragments of her past. All stemming from one strange picture…
For fans of Junji Ito and modern psychological horror: this eerie mystery unravels in chilling childlike sketches and obscure clues that will haunt you long after the last page. Strange Pictures transforms the mundane into the macabre.
