2023-08-25

A distinctive “Gokurakugai”! Depicting the “covert activities” of the “problem solvers” battling the strange city!

Just like the boundary between day and night, light and shadow intertwine in this downtown area, known as Gokurakugai.
In this city, amidst the chaos of day and night, the exploits of Tao and Alma, known as “problem solvers,” are depicted. They encounter sudden mysteries of missing people, the deep darkness of beastmen, and the ominous hour that illuminates the city’s “darkness”.
During these incidents, the true nature of the two is revealed.
Double-faced “problem solvers.” There is an even greater darkness spreading on the other side of the city. Tao and Alma publicly work as “problem solvers” investigating and resolving various incidents in Gokurakugai, while also acting as “assassins” who specifically take down monsters called “Maga,” born from human and animal corpses.
The reason these two teamed up is not for “goodwill” but rather to “eradicate all calamities in this world,” under a large and personal-grudge-like vow.

Gorgeous illustrations and the depiction of battles are the hot topics! An overwhelming talent from a rookie manga artist!

Surprisingly, a rookie manga artist who has never been serialized before handles this Gokurakugai! Their overwhelming art skills and detailed story composition have the power to captivate readers. When you actually pick up the work, you may be curious enough to wonder, ‘What else has this author drawn?’ The illustrations are truly beautiful, especially the characters' expressions, which are intricately depicted!

Hidden charm in the background! Harmony of illustrations and storyline!

One of the great appeals of the manga “Gokurakugai” is the delicate and beautiful illustrations that perfectly match the horror-taste monsters and worldview. Especially, the depiction of the deformed creatures known as “Kamaga” and the boy Alma, who is half-evil, is eye-catching. Tao and Alma's mysterious past and the relationships centered around them also grip the readers' hearts.
The background is also one of the major charms of this work. The meticulously detailed background makes you feel as if you can sense the smell and air of the place. This high quality is a major factor in drawing readers into the world of the story.
※This is a prequel to “Gokurakugai” that was released as a one-shot before serialization! It has boasted overwhelming illustration quality since that time!
So, this work is especially recommended for those who particularly value illustrations, and those who love fantasy and battle manga! Even if you only read the first volume, you will undoubtedly be captivated by its charm. Why not step into the world of Gokurakugai together?
Gokurakugai is a work filled with unforgettable charm once you read it. Great expectations for future developments!
