#btw I'm working on a spreadsheet with horror manga recs

[silvermoon424]

OMG, thank you for the chicken apocalypse rec (or... anti-rec?) it was so amazingly absurd. So many dire closeups of chickens being horrifyingly... chickeny. (Definitely had some content that was not for everyone but I'm pretty impervious) Are there any other memorably off the wall horror manga you know of?

I'm so glad you actually took the time to read my recommendation post! And don't worry, I have more recommendations!

Human Ranch: Elves kidnap a school bus full of Japanese teenagers because apparently human meat is a delicacy in the elf world.

Doku Mushi: A group of people wake up in an abandoned school building that has been totally sealed. They have no food, and the only thing they're given of note is a butcher knife, a big pot, and cooking utensils. Do the math on what their captor wants them to do lol (it's cannibalism).

Tonarimachi no Catastrophe: This one actually isn't that bad, but you did ask for off the wall manga. The manga is about a town where, one day, the sky and the ground inexplicably invert. The manga follows different citizens trying to survive while also trying to uncover the source of this phenomenon.

Children (by Miura Miu): tl;dr- a bunch of orphans living in a super remote area have the "job" of killing people and disposing of bodies. Pretty heavy on the gore, but for you in particular I think it would be fine since you- like me- are impervious to a lot, lol. This manga had some potential but unfortunately it's pretty obvious it got axed early on, leading to a rushed conclusion.

Shibuya Goldfish: Full disclosure, I have not read this one myself, but I think you would love it since it's basically the chicken apocalypse manga but with giant goldfish.

Scumbag Loser: Another manga that isn't too bad, but has an interesting premise. It's about a social outcast who is obsessed with smells and can identify people by their scents. After meeting someone who claims to be his childhood friend- which is impossible because she died 5 years ago- he begins noticing how his fellow "scumbags" disappear before reappearing with entirely different scents and personalities.

Signal 100: A death game-type manga where a class is hypnotized into committing suicide. Before they die at their own hands, they must complete the tasks given to them.

And finally, if you want an off-the-wall horror manga that's actually good and clever, I can't recommend Franken Fran and its sequel Franken Fran Frantic enough!
