Alien Nine

A short-lived but distinctive three-issue manga series from Central Park Media, Alien Nine follows a trio of young girls tasked with capturing extraterrestrials that invade their school. Blending slice-of-life school dynamics with eerie sci-fi horror, the series is best known for its unsettling atmosphere and the psychological weight it places on its child protagonists. Though brief, its cult status endures for its stark contrast between cute character designs and genuinely creepy alien encounters.
