About the series
In #DRCL - Midnight Children, manga artist Usamaru Furuya (of Short Cuts and Litchi Hikari Club fame) transplants Bram Stoker's gothic horror into a contemporary Japanese high school, where a mysterious new student named Mina Harker draws her classmates into a web of vampiric obsession and digital-age dread. Published by Ki-oon beginning in 2024, this six-issue series reimagines the classic vampire myth through Furuya's signature blend of grotesque, lyrical art and psychological tension. It matters as a bold, cross-cultural reinterpretation that fuses Western horror iconography with modern manga sensibilities, offering a fresh, unsettling take on a familiar tale.
