Hideout

Product Information

It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2010, with its chapters collected in a single tankōbon volume. The Old man: He is deprived of sunlight as he lives inside a dark cave for his life, takes women as prisoners and consumes the flesh of male stragglers.

On a supposedly idyllic vacation island, Seichi Kirishima and his wife Miki Kirishima are pinned down by a heavy rain somewhere in the island's interior.EditSynopsis On an idyllic vacation island in the southern seas, a young couple is trying to overcome the death of their only son. Written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki, Hideout was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from June 14 to August 23, 2010. The premise (the couple getting lost and stumbling into an utterly horrific experience) is executed well enough. I'm not sure that I would be driven to the extremes the protagonist goes to, but it's all part of the tragedy, so I guess it's fine. Overall it could be classed as cliche-ridden, as it borrows asinine plot frequently seen in Hollywood trash horrors, albeit that Japanese peculiarity to add dose of aberrancy really supplements the status of this piece to class it as a bit above mediocre or even unique for some aspects at least.

Kakizaki is almost up there with Kentaro Miura (the author of Berserk) in the horror scenes department. However, when his plan goes awry and his wife manages to escape, Seiichi follows her into a dark cave, only to find himself trapped inside and soon hunted by a savage creature with an insatiable hunger for human flesh. Everything is marvelously shaded, detailed, and bleak, which makes the gruesome content of Hideout so much more potent than it would be with only a "good" artist working on it, as opposed to an excellent one like in this manga.Please use the Bookmark button to get notifications about the latest chapters next time when you come visit Mangakakalot.
