The Skull Man

In Otomo City, freedom and justice have long since decayed, replaced by conspiracies that thrive in daylight and violence that prowls after dark. A string of grotesque deaths points to the Skull Man—a grim, skeletal figure whispered about like a reaper—whose presence signals bloodshed even among the mutants lurking in the city’s underworld.

Drawn into the mystery by a bizarre killing, journalist Hayato Minagami and photographer Kiriko Mamiya follow the trail of this feared predator through a metropolis steeped in corruption. As they dig deeper, their investigation leads toward a buried truth so dangerous it seems the city itself has been sealed into a kind of grave, where appearances deceive and vengeance wears a death’s-head grin.
