About the series
In the midst of a sweltering Tokyo summer, the Shibuya district becomes a surreal nightmare as a mysterious phenomenon transforms its inhabitants into monstrous, man-eating goldfish. Written and illustrated by Hiroumi Aoi, this 11-issue horror survival series from Yen Press (2018–2022) traps a handful of ordinary people in a bizarre, enclosed ecosystem where the city itself is the aquarium. Aoi’s tense, claustrophobic storytelling and grotesque creature designs make this a distinctive, unsettling take on the disaster survival genre.
