In Junji Ito’s latest horror manga, a galactic terror rains down from the sky. Only a mysterious woman with gold hair can save the Earth in Sensor! Every reader has different fears, of course, so I might find something super scary while you don’t. And that’s totally okay! It can be because of numerous things, like the story, the gore, the monsters, or the art. One or all of them can be the reason you find a story scary. Personally, I love when a mangaka does gruesome monsters because the art is spectacular, but they do make me have chills! Creepy beings and blood? The perfect combo you’ll find in the scariest of manga. But we can agree that the story is the center of it all. So, yeah, there can be monsters and guts on every single surface in the room (which I love), but for me, the writing and the story have to hold my attention instantly. A unique concept never disappoints, and these manga — the scariest manga — have it in spades.
The Scariest Manga You Can Read
Usually, horror manga give me so many emotions that I cannot help but love them. Between fear and an “oh-my-god, this is so cool” feeling, they make me not want to stop reading them (which yeah, I don’t stop until I’m either caught up or finished!). If you want more dark manga and manhwa, check out these dark stories like Killing Stalking. Another Rioter, Erika Hardison, wrote a list of some new horror manga you can also read right away! Remina is a science fiction tale about how an unknown planet emerges from inside a wormhole and changes life on Earth as it is known. Dr. Oguro, the one who discovers it, christens the planet “Remina” after his daughter. But the object starts to pick up speed, causing destruction. Until finally Earth itself faces extinction… Even if this manga does not have horrible monsters, the story itself gives me the creeps. It’s so dark and bloody that the simple vibe around it will scare you. Everything starts with Class 3-3. When Koichi Sakakibara transfers to the class, he never expected a huge secret reigning over the whole classroom. And his days might be numbered. Giant killer goldfish in Shibuya does sound like a very great start to a story, am I right? This story starts with a tragedy. Ken Kaneki is a normal college student with an enormous crush on a girl. When he finally goes on a date with her, he realizes she only wants his body…so she can eat it! When he wakes up, Kaneki is no longer human, but a half-ghoul, a being who craves flesh. Akira Takashiro just wants to play ball, be with his best friend, and crush on the girl he likes. But one afternoon, an earthquake happens and the aftermath of it…nothing could have prepared him for it. He witnesses dead bodies all over the floor and a gruesome creature eating them! When Hiro commits an unpunishable crime, he thinks nothing will come of it. Right after that, he gets kidnapped and imprisoned by a group of people wearing animal masks. Let the judging begin! Meet the witch Ellen, her tragic childhood, and the mansion she is trapped in. One day, a young girl Viola finds her way inside the mansion and meets Ellen, becoming fast friends. But Ellen is not what she seems.
