Product Description

Oninbo is a bug-eating demon who spends his time hunting down his favourite treat - bugs from Hell. These grotesque creatures live in the hearts of humans who have suffered traumatic experiences. There they grow, and haunt their hosts, until they are ready to feed off the very souls that nourish them. Oninbo is no hero, but would rather swallow onw whole than let it escape to feed off another human heart. His nemesis Mamushinbo makes an appearance, as do new characters Himenbo and Sasorinbo.

Patrick Macias - Author of TokyoScope: The Japanese Cult Film Companion, and staff writer for ANIMERICA
"Hideshi Hino is more than a world-class master of the macabre - he's also a grue-soaked manga genius."

Paul Gravett, author of Manga: Sixty Years of Japanese Comics
"Hideshi Hino is a visionary of relentless, escalating darkness."

About the Author
Recognized in Japan as a master of his genre, Hideshi Hino grew up in the immediate post-war landscape of Tokyo. The widespread destruction that struck him then reccur throughout his work, as do the grotesquely depicted characters - many tormented by twisted spines, deformed eyes and mishapen bodies. He has over 150 graphic novels in print. He is also director of a number of notorious horror films.
