A DESPERATE SEARCH FOR MEDICINE LEADS STRAIGHT INTO THE HEART OF MADNESS
Lost in a ghost town, Ako and Teru form a shaky alliance with two soldiers who defected from their squad amidst the chaos: Nimura, the loose cannon in charge of the AWOL crew, and Iwata, their helicopter pilot. But when Teru falls severely ill, it’s up to Ako to embark on a days-long hike with Nimura to find the medicine that might save Teru’s life.
Just before they reach their destination, however, the two encounter a young man with surgical scars covering his scalp. Strangely unable to feel pain, he mutters two cryptic words he claims explain the catastrophe that’s devastated Japan: dragon head. But before they can dig deeper, a gang of murderous rioters emerges from the shadows…
PRAISE FOR DRAGON HEAD
“Dragon Head is essential reading for horror fans. It’s a slow burn that forgoes shock value for psychological depth and atmosphere…”
—Behind the Manga
“Gritty, harrowing and blood-soaked, [Dragon Head] is a manga that should instantly appeal to fans of Battle Royale.”
—IGN
“An experience, not a story. […] Powerfully scary and creepy.”
—Anime News Network
