  • Disease and a new race of supernatural beings have nearly wiped out mankind, and two survivors are on the hunt for an oasis called Tomato Heaven.

    After heading south to investigate the place known as Tomato Heaven, Maru and Kiruko head back to Tokyo via a “ferry”. But they are ambushed at sea by one of the man-eating Hiruko monsters. This specific beast is amphibious, making him extremely deadly as he can easily take cover in the sea. Meanwhile in the school, Tokio, with the help of his classmate Kuku, uncovers a frightening secret. Maybe life is not what it seems at all. Maybe those who are inside the walls are not in heaven. And maybe the walls are there to keep them all inside!

    Heavenly Delusion does many things, and it does them well. Ishiguro makes great use of contrast particularly in building up atmosphere and setting.  All this is realized with delicate, detailed linework, with what little shading is there done through pen-and-ink techniques such as crosshatching. Its central characters think and act and talk like human beings[...] One thing it does not do, however, is give any answers. Not a single one.


    [T]here are way too many unique storylines and elements set-up that are fascinating to read, and it only begs for me to learn more. If you’re in need of a sci-fi manga, you won’t be making a mistake checking this one out. -- Justin * The OA
