My favorite horror manga by far, Pumpkin night has it all: Gore, revenge, strong FL and a bit of yandere romance. The art style is also immaculate and a thoroughly enjoyable read. WARNING: Serious Gore
Masaya is a genius when it comes to horror so no surprise this is second on the list. A bunch of students go on a trip to an island but are met with a heretic family who are all murderous and must escape the island before they are sacrificed or turn into monsters. So many twists and turns 10/10, WARNING: Serious Gore
Ah, well this one was messed up. I suggest not eating while reading this, I learnt the hard way. Our ML gets kidnapped and taken to a cattle farm, only, the cattle are human and he's about to be turned into dinner. He teams up with two other guys and they try and escape together but one if them is a lot different to the rest. WARNING: Serious Gore.
My favourite work by Junji Itou, Uzumaki tells a story of a town that slowly goes crazy and its up to our FL to stop it along with the help of her boyfriend. Each chapter is a different situation but they all interlink. Not as gory as some on my list but extremely disturbing.
Now this was a masterpiece, its completely original and the concept and out of this world. A high school teachers revenge that the students must escape from in order to live but there a twist: Their every move could lead them to their death and as they start turning on each other, making it out alive seams impossible for our FL. Elements of Death game and a bit of romance as well as a lot of revenge. WARNING: Serious Gore
Based on the game 'Werewolf' only that the werewolves have to actually kill the villagers in the night. Our FL must figure out who the werewolves are before all the villagers are killed, including her. Death game, murder mystery, romance and lots of gore.
Prequel to Kitchikujima, this depicts the island and the family before...well..It doesnt rly matter if you read this before or after but i assure you it is equally as gory and equally as mind bending.
WARNING: Serious gore.
If slice of life was a horror story, hear me out, while it my not be the conventional horror manga as we know it Shadow House is a creepy psychological thriller. Emiliko is a 'living doll' for her shadow master Kate. Things go down the wrong path when Emiliko begins to discover the truth behind the Shadow house. 10/10 recommend. There is an anime adaptation of this but i suggest reading this first as the anime has changed the plot, plus its in full colour!
My fav manga by Kim Canby, Ml wakes up with no memories on a remote island with only a hotel of sorts, hes taking in by the family who owns it and is treated well....as long as he doesnt try to leave... As the family become increasingly more psychotic and he begins to remember disturbing memories from his past, he begins to wonder whos really in danger on this island.
For as long as he can remember Jin has always been an accomplice in his dad's murders, he doesnt have a reason he does it well.. just because.. but when he finally manages to make a friend at school, he must do everything to prevent his new friend from becoming his dad's next victim, even if that means killing his own father.
