That Inspired The Popular Disney+/Hulu Live Action
Heads to Kickstarter Just in Time for Halloween
(October 26th, 2023) Portland, OR – Comics and graphic novel publisher ABLAZE is bringing Masaaki Ninomiya’s modern day horror manga masterpiece GANNIBAL to Kickstarter, just in time for Halloween. The bestselling 13-volume horror manga series, published in Japan by Nihon Bungeisha, has become a worldwide hit with publications in France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Turkey, Brazil, Korea, and Thailand, and will now make its highly anticipated English-language debut, with limited edition hardcovers available via Kickstarter. Fans can support the project on Kickstarter.
A terrifying thriller series rich in tension and suspense, GANNIBAL has been adapted into a live-action TV series, directed by Shinzo Katayama (director of J-horror movie Missing) that currently streams on Disney+/Hulu and stars Yuya Yagira, Sho Kasamatsu, and Riho Yoshioka. In the series, Daigo Agawa is a resident police officer who has been recently assigned to the remote mountain village of Kuge. He is initially warmly welcomed by the villagers, but with the suspicious death of an old woman, he gradually becomes aware of the anomaly of the village and begins to suspect that “The people in this village are eating people.”
“GANNIBAL is a powerful and truly scary story,” says Rich Young, co-founder of ABLAZE. “Horror manga is renowned for its deeply affecting stories and GANNIBAL will definitely stay with readers long after the first reading.”
