Oninbo is a bug-eating demon who spends his time hunting down his favourite treat - bugs from hell. These grotesque creatures live in the hearts of humans who have suffered traumatic experiences. There they grow, and haunt their hosts, until they are ready to feed off the very souls that nourish them.
Yosuke Shinkai is haunted by a past he cannot recall...and a body that is rapidly decomposing. He is a living corpse, unclear who he is or why he has been brought back to life only to suffer again a slow gruesome death. A grotesque and disturbing account of life after horrific death, told by Japan's undisputed master of horror manga, and appearing here for the first time in English translation.
