About the series
In this single-issue horror comedy from Kadokawa, the apocalypse arrives not with a bang but with a VHS tape, as Sadako—the iconic curse from Ring—is reimagined as a surprisingly mundane roommate for the end of the world. Launched in 2019, this one-shot leans into deadpan humor and slice-of-life absurdity, with Sadako's supernatural dread undercut by her utterly ordinary daily routines. It's a clever, self-contained twist on a classic horror figure, offering a brief but memorable glimpse of what happens when the ultimate terror just wants to get along.
