SynopsisIn the horror of witnessing so many classmates perish before his eyes in a violent train wreck, Teru discovers two survivors in the tunnel: Ako and Nobuo. But salvation from this bloody carnage is far from their grasp. As they try to dig out from the wreck in order to come up with a plan to stay alive, the lack of light and food, combined with the stench of death and decay, will lead one member of the group down a dark and demented path. And with sudden, violent earthquakes shaking the tunnel, escaping to the outside world may lead them to an even greater danger... (Source: Tokyopop) |

So I finally managed to read this to the end, and I have to say ... WOW
From the start one of the biggest achievments of this manga is the characters. Without them, Dragon Head would loose many points.
They are REALISTIC! And that is saying a lot. You can actually feel from them. Their fear, their hope, their surprise, their disappointment, their saddeness. It's all there for you to experience as the story unveils.
And the story ... It's amazing!
After a while you start thinking, there's has to be somthing supernatural about this, but at the same time you have that immenent feeling of natural catastrophe. In the end, you still aren't very sure, but most questions are answered, in a way that leave you satisfied.
All in all, Dragon Head is one of those rare mangas that make your heart jump with every turn. It's truly a masterpiece.
I have to say the ending left me a bit empty inside, maybe hoping for a sequel, but truth is a sequel would probably only ruin it.
It ties up the loose knots, even though (like me) you might've wished for a different ending.
I believe that few people can deny this is an amazing manga. read more

The two manga start off the same, a "sub-normal" hero getting trapped into a closed space with trains by an earthquake.
Then, there's nothing, no more radios, no more contact with exterior, and the people trapped underground must find a way to survive.
Dragon Head is way longer, so there's a lot more to its story than just this "trapped underground" thing, but you'll probably be hooked before it's even finished, because the situations are very similar at first, and the tension is always high, for maybe different reasons in the two works, but I think they're both enjoyable for the same reasons - the same feeling they give when you read them.
