Description
No one knows where it started ... But when the world finally realized what was going on, it was already too late.
When Maki Akagi wakes up in a lab full of corpses, she learns from a dying soldier that she is the result of a last-ditch experiment to cure humans of a virus turning them into zombies. Accompanied by a young boy who also miraculously escaped, she will have to try to get to the very center of a devastated Tokyo filled with bloodthirsty monsters. The dome located there contains the last survivors of mankind. And humanity's very survival depends solely on a few drops of this miraculous vaccine...
Inspired by Katsuhiro Otomo (Akira), The Walking Dead, Romero classics, and new zombie films like 24 Hours Later, Crueler Than Dead delights in the meticulous detail of decomposed flesh, with a wicked and hungry eye...evoking a modern vision of a zombie world that is terrifying and tension filled. (published in Japan by Tokuma Shoten)
Reviews
"Kozo Takahashi's artwork seems inspired by the work of Junji Ito. This is not only evidenced through the grotesque designs of the zombies, but also through the human characters who look like they are on the brink of insanity."-----aiptcomics.com
"The creators go for the jugular."
"The black and white art effectively creates atmosphere, and with brutal detail Takahashi captures gruesome imagery and makes reading it a visceral experience. The manga is written by Tsukasa Saimura, and they work as a good team to make this manga stand out." --otakuusamagazine.com
"engaging in ways you might not have expected"---animenewsnetwork.com
"This first volume is a great beginning to an ambitious zombie manga. I had a surprisingly good time with this one, and can't wait for the next one soon! 4 out of 5" --gamingtrend.com
