Gannibal Vol 1 cover

Gannibal, the thrilling and terrifying manga horror series by Masaaki Ninomiya, on which the Hulu TV show is based, is published in English for the first time!

 

After the mysterious disappearance of a countryside cop, the role is reassigned to Officer Daigo Agawa. He finds the remote village quaint, and he looks forward to an easygoing post among the warm and welcoming citizenry.

 

Then… He gets a call. The body of a local grandmother has been found.

 

The scene immediately sows doubt for the young policeman. A human bite mark has been left on the corpse, and any voiced suspicion of Agawa's is met with a strange, sudden, and intense hostility.

 

Something dark is lurking under the idyllic façade of the charming mountain village. But can Officer Agawa spare himself and his family from it?

“Masaaki Ninomiya does enough to create an unsettling atmosphere and a compelling mystery that makes you excited to see where Gannibal goes. Despite its familiar horror premise, the story gets under your skin through its approach on cannibalism. A compelling mystery, anchored by a cast of characters who are either monsters or slowly losing their morality. An unsettling atmosphere that is defined by Ninomiya's art... Score: 8.5 Great” -- AIPT.com (Adventures in Poor Taste)

"From the moment I started reading, I knew it would be more effort to put it down, so I allowed myself to bask in these beautifully haunting illustrations and see where the horror took me." - Geek Therapy

"It is very, very tense.  I was on the edge of my seat reading this.  This was so good. I can't recommend this enough.  One thing that I really liked about this is the tension in the air right from the opening scene.  It's a joy to read.  It's something that you really can't put down." -- OtakusAndGeeks.com

“8/10… A slow-burning adult horror manga that's not about cute, big-eyed cartoon high school students but a serious swim in the waters of creeping existential dread. The actual horror itself is not revealed in the opening chapters but the pun-driven title of the series already tells us everything. The real theme is of civilisation versus the countryside, or Order versus Chaos, but there's no guarantee Order will win. The art is realistic, not cartoonish, conveying the seriousness of the creator's intent." —BLEEDING COOL
