(pb; 2017; eleven-book manga series)
From the back cover
“High schooler Hajime
Tuskiyoda went to Shibuya that day hoping only to find inspiration for his next
film. He never expected to find himself smack-dab in the middle of a real-life
horror movie. Without warning, schools of massive goldfish descend upon the
crowded streets, and the mystified onlookers’ confusion quickly turns to terror
as the fish begin to feed. From their tentative shelter, Hajime and a handful
of survivors await a rescue that seems more and more unlikely as the days and
hours tick by. Meanwhile, all around them, the bloody feeding frenzy begins.”
Review
This fast-paced, sometimes melodramatic,
action-oriented, folklore-based horror-fantasy manga about bizarre, oversized, man-eating
goldfishes is an above-average read for the genre (even with its occasional
upskirt/low-skirt/panty shots, to further keep teenage boys’ attention), one
worth reading. The characters are mostly fun and fully explored (for manga), the
artwork is wow-worthy, and the twists are solid as is the ending. Worth
checking out, this.
