Orochi: The Perfect Edition, Vol. 3

A deluxe edition of Orochi, featuring all nine of the classic interconnected short stories by horror master Kazuo Umezz, the creator of The Drifting Classroom! A mysterious young woman slithers her way into the lives of unsuspecting people like the legendary multitailed serpent for which she is named--Orochi. The third volume of Umezz's classic horror manga begins with "Stage," in which Orochi encounters a child who insists a mysterious "morning-man" has killed his father. But who is he really? Then, a group of stranded soldiers succumb to unimaginable depravity in order to survive. In "Combat," their story comes back to haunt them...and others.
