GANNIBAL is an intense 13-volume horror manga created by Masaaki Ninomiya that was originally published in Japan by Nihon Bungeisha. The manga's publisher, ABLAZE, is proudly bringing this dark masterpiece to North America and English readers worldwide for the first time.

About GANNIBAL's storyline:

In GANNIBAL, 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.”

A terrifying thriller series rich in tension and suspense, GANNIBAL is a riveting story that also features captivating artwork. GANNIBAL also 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.
