*From rising star manga artist Tetsuya Tsutsui comes a three-volume horror-thriller that draws the reader into a tangled web of intrigue and lies as two detectives trying to solve a string of mysterious deaths come face to face with a much larger conspiracy that threatens a manmade global pandemic.
A killer parasite is on the verge of threatening 180 million people . . . and a race against the clock has begun!
What do two Japanese detectives, a naked man on a city street, and a roundworm from Botswana all have in common? In this first volume of Manhole, Ken Mizoguchi and Nao Inoue are a pair of investigators asking themselves this very question as they string together clues to solve a string of bloody and mysterious murders. But as the pieces come together, they begin to uncover the threat of a deadly biological agent which poses a threat of epidemic proportions.
An unlikely lead sets them off on the hunt for a mysterious photographer, but as they chase down shadows, the infection keeps spreading. This thrilling detective story with a biological horror hook will keep readers on the edge of their seat. Rising star manga artist Tetsuya Tetsui’s Manhole is a tightly paced fight to prevent a pandemic as perplexing as it is deadly.*
Tarinassa seuraillaan pientä poliisiryhmää, joka kohtaa varsin epätavallisen kuolemantapauksen. Ensin varsin yksinkertainen juttu alkaa laajenemaan ja pian ollaan jo kutsuttu apuun terveysviranomaisia. Mikä ja mistä on tullut tämä parasiittiloinen?
Nopeasti etenevä. Jonkin verran huumoria. Hahmoissa on kivoja yksityiskohtia.
Kuvitus sellainen, ettei sovellu herkille.
