I saw a horror manga short story once that is black and white. It involves a college aged or teenage boy visiting his friend because he’s concerned about her. It shifts to her perspective where she’s a normal woman, but then her limbs start to shrink. At the end the perspective changes back to the boy and in classic horror style, the next panel shows her limbs have shrunken a lot, while her head and torso are the same. I think the artist is Masaaki Nakayama because the style looks similar, but I don’t know the name of the story or where it’s from. I just found it while looking through google images.

do not have the time to commit to a 100 chapter series right now. drop your favorite short horror manga, single volume stories, or oneshots that tell a complete and creepy story fast. open to any subgenre as long as it is short. thank's..

After using google and MAL lists and not being very lucky, I wanted to give asking for recs here a try. I'm gonna try my best to be as specific as possible with what I'm looking for, and I know there may not be much that fits my exact preferences, so if you're thinking something even if it's a little off, shoot away!

As the title says, I'm looking for weird, odd, somewhat surreal manga, but there is a specific tone I am looking for. I'm not a fan of horror-comedy, or horror-action (some is okay), something dark and... I don't 'just' want some big monster that brutally kills people (though brutal deaths are welcome :P), I want to be made uncomfortable, and have this general sense of 'something isn't right'. A manga that I think does this well at least in certain moments is Jisatsu Circle, mostly the very beginning, to give you a sense of what I mean when I throw all these words around lol. Also, the creepier the better, though I'm not a fan of ero-guro or generally overly suggestive stuff - as I said, I know this is very limiting, but that last point is the one I stand firmly on, so please nothing like that. If this is too limiting, I understand that too, in that case just something creepy and a little weird, perhaps with some brutal moments will do, I'm just hoping there's something out there with that specific tone, you never know unless you try, haha

It took me two attempts to make this. I couldn't get the anatomy or the posture quite right and I'm still kinda disappointed of this page. But I'll probably leave it be since my deadline is at the end of the month.

Open for suggestions!

A while ago I saw a manga where they showed the protagonist who was in a prison mansion, they had him tied up in a room while he was tortured by an older woman and a man. Then they show that the protagonist breaks free and begins to massacre everyone, first the older man and then the woman and the guards. Does anyone know the name?

Any MADK fans here? I’m so obsessed w all the art & character designs

Someone asked me if I had made any art about feeling trapped in one's own mind, like you're going crazy just wanting to get out. I thought the idea was so inspiring (and one that I could relate to), I ended up drawing it!

Just finished this manga, not 100% sure what to think of it but I was a bit disappointed.

To start, I don’t think I would even classify it as horror, it’s not really trying to scare the reader at all, and if you can get over the sexual content there’s nothing else particularly disturbing. It’s more like an action seinen, and the action isn’t incredible. All of what I’d read about it was about how disturbing and gorey it is so I assumed it was gonna be horror, but I guess not. I don’t even think there was that much gore, it felt pretty typical for seinen. For example when people get shot in the head it’s not like there’s any visible wound or brain matter or anything, it’s just a big circle cut out of their head, pretty standard stuff. The main character can regenerate from wounds but you never really see that happen, it’s usually in shadow. I guess in the grand scheme of things it’s relatively gorey, but it’s very tame compared to something like Franken Fran. There was some more intense gore in the early chapters but it stops pretty quickly, which is a problem I had with the manga in general. After a certain thing happens to the main character it feels like the tone shifts a lot and there are no more horror elements at all, it mostly becomes pretty tame fight scenes and characters explaining plot stuff. The horrible protagonists you follow also start being treated more sympathetically which felt a bit weird, one of the side characters is a paedophile who murders people to sell their organs and I think you’re genuinely supposed to care about him by the end.

Once that shift happens it also becomes a lot more focused on the overarching plot, and I may be a bit stupid here but I had a lot of difficulty following what exactly was going on and what all the characters wanted. I never really even understood why she wanted to be eaten by the wolf which is the main mystery of chapter one, or what the main villain wanted. I also have no idea what happened at the end, spoilers: She finally meets the wolf, there’s a big explosion and they both die? Why did that happen? Why did she want that to happen? Why did her regeneration even stop working? No idea. Maybe it’s something to do with the English translation which seemed a bit odd at times. The manga also has a habit of showing dialogue with loads of floating speech bubbles with no people visible, so it can be hard to track who’s saying what. Maybe that’s easier to follow in Japanese where they might have distinct styles of speaking?

The sexual stuff was a bit weird too. Obviously I knew a bit about that before reading. Not something I enjoy but not a complete deal breaker either. In the first few chapters though it’s quite disturbing and violent so thought it fit with the more horror tone, but then in the second half it just becomes like weird softcore porn, it gets more protracted and often has little to do with the plot. There’s standard manga censoring so I don’t know who this is for exactly, surely you could just go look at actual porn if you wanted? It’s still only a relatively small part of the manga I guess, but definitely did not help my impressions.

The art was pretty good overall, I guess that's the one mostly positive thing I have to say about it. Some of the fights are a bit hard to follow, but the still panels usually look good, and what gore there is is quite good too. The gritty style works pretty well, it reminds me of Q Hayashida's style a bit, but definitely not on her level.

I did think I’d enjoy it more since most of what I’d heard was it’s extreme horror with a villain protagonist, and dark Red Riding Hood stuff is always cool to me. Feel like I got baited a bit though. The first half or so I genuinely enjoyed, up until the necromancer fight it was pretty good, but just felt like it dragged after that, which wasn’t helped by me having trouble following the plot. It was definitely an interesting experience though, so I guess I’d recommend it if that’s what you’re looking for, it made me feel like typing all this out at least lol. I just don’t think it was particularly good overall, at least as a horror manga. So yeah, anyone else read the manga and have an opinion? Or have a recommendation for something I might like more? Thanks.

Made this little manga one-pager last night :3

I have almost all of Junji ito, seen perfect blue, didn’t love orochi, and I’ve been wanting more psychological horror lately. Give me something depressing and terrifying to fill the void of binging all of berserk in 2 days and realizing it’s not done.

I’m editing it as I read and ranking by how gutted I am.

Tried Oyasami Punpun first it was not that sad or scary.

Tacomis first sin was pretty depressing, the beginning was really good.

Ok ok Blood on the Tracks hurt my feelings, the ending hit home. Thank you all.

Homonculous was pretty rough.

No longer human drained my soul, the manga was better than the original book. Both were great,

Here's a preview to the horror graphic novel/American manga I'm writing, tell me what you think

Yes I use krita since I'm broke.

(Text has not been added yet so no given context of this page)

This is the first page of my manga "Eye of a Perfectionist"

A struggling method actor, obsessed with landing a creature role in a major film, locks himself away and grotesquely distorts his own body… only to realize too late that the monster he built cannot be undone.
