Comics Showcase: Karada Sagashi

Are you into Japanese Horror flicks? If so, perhaps Karada Sasgashi カラダ探し (Re/Member) is for you. Originally a web novel by Welzard, it had since been serialized on Shonen Jump Plus by Murase Katsutoshi. It is a very typical Japanese ghost story, with a premise not much unlike most J-horrors.

Comics Showcase: Bastard


Today, I want to introduce another comics, "Bastard", written by Youngchan Hwang and illustrated by Carnby Kim. The comics packed with suspense, excitement, surprise, anticipation and anxiety that pulls people into the story and holds them captives. The story revives around Jin Seon, a moody young man raised by a single father. As you can probably tell from the title, Jin doesn't quite get along with his father. The complex relationship between Jin and his father is the focus of the story.
