Book Overview

The end of everyone was just the beginning... Minetaro Mochizuki's classic 90s head-trip disaster manga is now in print!

EXPERIENCE THE MIND-BENDING MASTERPIECE LIKE NEVER BEFORE

The end of everyone was only the beginning...

Teru and his high school class are returning from a field trip when a catastrophic something derails their train, burying them in a tunnel and killing nearly everyone aboard. Among the hellish heap of mangled bodies Teru discovers two survivors, but their nightmare has only just begun. Trapped in unending shadow with sudden, violent earthquakes shaking their sanity, the three must find a way to escape to the outside world and make it back home--if home still exists...

An award-winning, terrifying tour de force by Minetaro Mochizuki, the manga giant whose seminal story Hauntress first introduced the horrors of stalking to the Japanese public and who penned the manga adaptation for Wes Anderson's Isle of Dogs, this gripping spinechiller digs deep into the darkness lurking just beneath the surface of society and the bloody cost of survival amidst apocalyptic ruin.
