Comic publisher ABLAZE announced today that the 6-volume box set edition for the apocalyptic manga action series Cagaster is now available for pre-order via Diamond-partnere retailers and other online channels, ahead of its December 22nd release.
It’s the year 2125, and a strange plague called “Cagaster” appears. One-in-a-thousand people is infected by this disease, which turns humans into monstrous cannibalistic insects. Two-thirds of humanity is decimated... 30 years later, young expert bug exterminator and mercenary adventurer Kidow and his newfound friend Ilie struggle to survive in this brutal new world, while delving into the mysteries of the plague and its causes.
Kidow is tasked with finding Ilie’s mother after being entrusted with her by her dying father. Meanwhile, the battle continues to rage against the mutated population of Earth, with the code possibly being cracked to finally end the nightmare. Cagaster is a thrilling shonen adventure into a strange apocalyptic universe that's been described as somewhere between Mad Max and Attack on Titan.
Published by Tokuma Shoten in Japan, Cagaster has been adapted into an anime series by Gonzo Animation called Cagaster of an Insect Cage under the direction of Koichi Chigira (Tokyo Babylon, Full Metal Panic!, Last Exile) and is currently streaming on Netflix!
Head over to Midtown Comics if you would like to pre-order the Cagaster box set! It's currently retailing for $41.99.
