Immortal Hounds 6

The English language debut of up-and-coming talen Ryoh Yasohachi is a modern sci-fi tale of the power and consequences of love in a world full of immortals. Filled with action and thrills, this dark science-fiction manga is latest in a line of great Japanese high stakes tales such as Death Note, AJIN, and Akira.

In an alternate world everyone is an immortal. There are no doctors or hospitals. Cemetaries are things of the past; some consider them to be legends or myths. But with immortality comes consequences, like the loss of some of humanities greatest gifts...including love. There are those who understand that and choose to die for the ability to experience such emotions again. The government is determined to erradicate those who take that path, however.

Little is known about the artist, or possibly pair of talents, behind the name Ryoh Yasohachi but there is no denying the budding skill coming from this source.

Yasohachi debuted in the world of self-publishing in 2005 with works combining romance with action and dark angsty themes. But soon Yasohachi was scouted by traditional comics publishers eventually working on video game adaptations for the immensely popular Persona series. With the success of that comic collection, Yasohachi moved on to work with avant-garde comics publisher enterbrain where titles such as Immortal Hounds and series UwaGaki (Over-Written) to critical acclaim.
