Orochi: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 3

by Kazuo Umezz

Overview

A deluxe edition of Orochi, featuring all nine of the classic interconnected short stories by horror master Kazuo Umezz, the creator of The Drifting Classroom!

A mysterious young woman slithers her way into the lives of unsuspecting people like the legendary multitailed serpent for which she is named—Orochi.

The third volume of Umezz’s classic horror manga begins with “Stage,” in which Orochi encounters a child who insists a mysterious “morning-man” has killed his father. But who is he really? Then, a group of stranded soldiers succumb to unimaginable depravity in order to survive. In “Combat,” their story comes back to haunt them...and others.
