Synopsis

What do two Japanese detectives, a naked man on a city street, and a roundworm from Botswana all have in common? In the first volume of Manhole, Ken Mizoguchi and Nao Inoue investigate a string of bloody and mysterious murders, but their work uncovers a deadly biological agent which poses a threat of epidemic proportions. An unlikely lead starts them in the pursuit of a mysterious self-titled photographer, but meanwhile the infections keep spreading. The series may be best described as the thrilling combination of a detective story with biological horror.

After finishing this and seeing there is no extensive review, I decided to write my first. If you don't find this helpful, feedback is appreciated.

Plot:
The story follows two detectives on investigating the truth behind a parasitic disease. The story isn't anything original, but the presentation and execution is well done. There are no dumbfounding twists and turns, but at the same time there is no gaping plot holes or unnatural plot devices. The plot progresses steadily through the chapters, slowly unraveling the details behind the epidemic. The length of the story is appropriate. It is straight to the point and does not venture into unrelated read more

This manga is a mix of detective, psychological and horror. It has a good story-line that progresses at an even pace if it can at time be a little predictable, and characters are slowly developed throughout, however only to a certain extent, although i felt close to the characters it wasn't like i was overly bothered about what happened to them. The art is generally good and at some points can be amazing while at other times lacking detail. Its a relatively short manga and definitely worth the read if you can spare a couple of hours of your time ^^

A similar psychological mangas, because of the plot and violent. In Ichi everything is about mafia and stuff, whili in Manhole it's about deadly virus.
