100 Ghost Stories to Die For #2

Volume 2 of Anji Matono's 100 Ghost Stories to Die For (Boku ga Shinudake no Hyakumonogatari) arrives with a cover that is quietly, deeply unsettling — a young figure smiling faintly while a pale, cracked hand claws across the upper half of their face, obscuring hollow, dark eyes amid crumbling fragments. Matono's painterly style turns something as simple as a child's expression into a slow creep of dread that lingers well after you've looked away. Horror manga fans with a taste for psychological unease and folk-inflected ghost tales will find this 2022 volume a genuinely compelling addition to the series.
