のろいの館 [Noroino Yakata] [Sacred House]

From 1969, this single-issue horror comic from Akita Shoten stands as a chilling early work by the legendary manga creator Kazuo Umezz, who both wrote and illustrated the entire story. A masterclass in psychological dread, it centers on a cursed house and the unsettling events that unfold within its walls. Though brief, the tale is a potent example of Umezz's signature ability to blend grotesque imagery with deep, creeping unease. It remains a stark, foundational piece in the canon of Japanese horror manga.
