review:
'Parham Itan: Tales From Beyond, Vol. 1' by Kali Sorano is a horror manga inspired by Lovecraftian horror and the Call of Cthulhu, so of course I was interested.
Yamagishi and Sendo are two classmates, but that's about all they have in common. Yamagishi is a short, solid boxer, and Sendo is lanky and bookish. When they run across weird dealings on campus, they are thrown together to figure out what is happening. From people who have flowers for faces to giant bee-like insects, things are just weird. A mysterious supernatural investigator shows up, but when he is slaughtered in the chapel, it seems that the boys are on their own
I liked this moody, creepy story. I'm not sure it reminded me all that much of Lovecraft, but it's definitely got weird things going on. The art works well, and I'd like to see where the story goes.
I received a review copy of this manga from Tokyopop, Diamond Book Distributors, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this manga.
