Product Description

MPD-Psycho, the most-requested manga series in recently memory, has found a fitting home at Dark Horse Manga, where it will be presented uncut and uncensored in all of its controversial and unflinchingly grotesque glory! If Takashi Miike's MPD-Psycho television series still has you confused and reeling, the original manga series that inspired the show is sure to take you on a longer, darker journey into madness. Enjoy the 11-volume MPD-Psycho series for all of its absurd twists, sci-fi touches and inventive torture scenes, but you'll also be mesmerized by the plethora of odd conspiracies and case files found in Otsuka and Tajima's uncontrollable, urban horrorshow. In MPD-Psycho Volume 1, police detective Kobayashi Yousuke's life is changed forever after a serial killer notices something "special" about him. That same killer mutilates Kobayashi's wife and kick-starts a "multiple personality battle" within Kobayashi that pushes him into a complex tempest of interconnected deviants and evil forces. Earning praise for its consistently shocking plotlines and Tajima's clean, arresting art style, MPD-Psycho is the manga event of the decade!

Customer Reviews

Psychologically Thrilling
This is a fantastic series for fans of psychological horror and serial killers. It's something right out of Se7en mashed with anything out of the Hannibal series topped nicely with something genuinely original. The brutal madness and constant mind-bending storylines are beautifully tied together and keep the suspense from easing the deeper it goes.

However, I extend this warning: It only gets more twisted from here, so I would recommend the weak of stomach to find something else to read.

Violence with a twist
This Manga is exactly what ive been looking for, for a long time. It has an excellent story with very detailed drawings that truly show the brutality in each scene. Good book for any Manga lover.

Manga Horror that Chills you to the Bone
Otsuka and Tajima deliver well-crafted tales of madness in this short collection of Manga Horror, featuring a detective with multiple personalities. There is a lot of disturbing imagery, but each case is original and twisted in its own right, and makes for a riveting read. I couldn't put the book down until I had finished it. The art is also surprisingly good, and complements each story in black and white.
