16. Hakaijuu – by Shingo Honda

Hakaijuu – by Shingo Honda

20 Best Horror Manga - Zashiki Onna/ Phantom Stalker Woman – by Minetaro Mochizuki

Zashiki Onna is a series featuring an amnesiac woman who stalks lonely men. Despite the fact that the story is about a woman stalking men, it has elements of horror that make it very relevant in the present times. The series does a wonderful job building up fear as readers watch the protagonist slowly go insane. The dread, not knowing what lies ahead, and the suspense all builds up. Zashiki Onna ultimately impacts its protagonist in an unexpected way (for me). The manga deals with themes of loneliness, isolation, and the desire to have someone by your side. Zashiki Onna makes

13. Skyhigh – by Tsutomu Takahashi

20 Best Horror Manga - Skyhigh – by Tsutomu Takahashi

Skyhigh is a psychological horror manga that centers around one man’s descent into madness and the events leading up to it. Although originally intended as an experiment in form, it soon became clear that the narrative needed revision if I was to realize my vision for the project. This has led to the creation of a tale which not only questions the nature of sanity, but also delves into issues of identity, perception, and even free will. Its objective is not merely to provide entertainment for its readers, but also ask questions about reality itself. But, as such, every aspect of it has been carefully considered; from its choice of

#06 of 20 Best Horror Manga is Panorama of Hell. Panorama of Hell – by Hideshi Hino – is a one-shot manga that puts the reader with a strange artist painting landscapes of Hell with his blood. The plot is more of a conversation with the said artist, who details each of his works’ story. Being a post-nuclear apocalypse survivor, his work contains symbols of suffering, torture, grief, violence, and gore. The manga is itself built upon truckloads of symbolisms with the metaphorized message about how men view war…or in this case, Hell.

While difficult to read at times, this book will definitely keep you turning the pages as you try to discover what happens next. This is definitely not for everyone, but if you are ready to take your reading enjoyment.

04. Kichikujima – by Masaya Hokazono

04. Kichikujima – by Masaya Hokazono

If you are familiar with psychological thrillers, then this manga is right up your alley. The series doesn’t blow your mind away, but it’s very well done and appealing to the eyes. You are likely to enjoy reading this horror comedy if you enjoy slasher films, such as “Scream” or “Seed”.

This manga is a story about a group of children at the verge of puberty, and their experimentation with artificial insemination and reproductive technologies. It deals with philosophical questions about free will, determinism, responsibility, and what it means to be human. It’s also not your typical ero guro – there’s no raping or murder in this one. Instead, it explores themes like technology run amok (and how it could impact society), philosophical abominations (such as creating a serial killer using an AI), bioethical issues (like how we treat animals in research and create life artificially) and of course: the

02. Ibitsu – by Haruto Ryo

Ibitsu – by Haruto Ryo

Ibitsu is a manga-based on a video game, about a girl who transfers to a new school and becomes target of an urban legend. It’s actually quite chilling story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. But, the art in this series is really well done and visually very impressive – contrary to popular belief, urban legends are not always related to horror… but they can be! I recommend giving this series a try (if you’re into horror at all). You won’t be disappointed.”_Ibitsu is a psychological horror/mystery manga about a high school girl named Hiyori Satō
