Overview
The chilling third volume manga adaptation of Uketsu’s bestselling horror phenomenon, brought to life by artist Aiba Noriyuki.
For fans of Junji Ito: this eerie mystery unravels in chilling childlike sketches and obscure clues that will haunt you long after the last page.
From Japan’s breakout horror sensation comes a chilling new manga experience.
Strange Pictures is the spine-tingling manga adaptation of Uketsu’s bestselling novel, brought vividly to life by artist Aiba Noriyuki. Uketsu – the enigmatic masked writer who has become one of Japan’s most talked-about authors – first captivated readers with a novel that sold in the millions. Now, the terror unfolds panel by panel.
At its core lie nine childlike sketches. A pregnant woman’s doodles on her blog conceal a dire warning. A boy’s simple drawing of his home hides a message no child should know. A murder victim’s final sketch becomes a clue that drags an amateur sleuth into a labyrinth of secrets. Each picture is innocent at first glance – yet when pieced together, they reveal a web of unsolved mysteries and shattered psyches.
For fans of Junji Ito and modern psychological horror, Strange Pictures transforms the mundane into the macabre. Some images fade, but these horrors will be etched in your memory.
This third volume delves into the past to follow a student reporter investigating a three-year old case where a drawing was made seemingly right before a victim was murdered. But with limited resources and almost no new leads, can the novice journalist find a scoop of truth buried beneath a painting of lies?
