Hideout

Product Information

Overall, this manga seems to be made for shock value as all it has going for it is the extremely dark art. shock value is fine in mangas ESPECIALLY horror mangas, but if thats all the manga has to go of then don't be surprised if it gets such low scores.

Hideout (stylized in all caps) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki. Probably not as it felt like a waste of time after I finished reading it, but if you want to look at some dark edgy art then go for it.

I'm not sure that I would be driven to the extremes the protagonist goes to, but it's all part of the tragedy, so I guess it's fine. That said, while the plot gets a thumbs up from me, the main thing Hideout has going for it is the art. But this does not deter Seichi, it determined him, his decision is clear: Tonight, he will kill his wife. Overall it could be classed as cliche-ridden, as it borrows asinine plot frequently seen in Hollywood trash horrors, albeit that Japanese peculiarity to add dose of aberrancy really supplements the status of this piece to class it as a bit above mediocre or even unique for some aspects at least.

First of all, I'd like to say I'm not familiar with any of Kakizaki's other works (mostly referring to Rainbow since that's his most famous one), so I'm not going to be making any comparisons to anything else he's worked on.

On a supposedly idyllic vacation island, Seichi Kirishima and his wife Miki Kirishima are pinned down by a heavy rain somewhere in the island's interior. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2010, with its chapters collected in a single tankōbon volume. Written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki, Hideout was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from June 14 to August 23, 2010. While there's nothing like actually holding a book in your hands, there's also no denying that the cost of those books can add up quickly. The premise (the couple getting lost and stumbling into an utterly horrific experience) is executed well enough.
