Synopsis

Japan is a brilliant Asian model of success. But how would this country manage were they to face a large-scale sanitary crisis? What would it happen if, in Shinjuku—one of the biggest districts of Tokyo—a man came only to bleed out in the street in broad daylight? How would the political and sanitary authorities manage the drama?

Think, please, about the question for as long as you have the possibility of doing so because for the professors Onodera and Sekiguchi, it is already too late! An emergent virus has begun to insinuate itself into the arteries of the Japanese capital.

So I'm guessing there is going to be some renewed interest in this manga considering the world's current situation with Corona virus. I myself began reading it for the same reason, and while it isn't anything amazing, it is definitely an interesting read that you can probably breeze through in just over an hour.

An aspect I liked about the manga was it's semi realistic take on how a modern day Japan would respond to a pandemic. The virus itself is where the horror part of the manga comes in, and also where the art is at its best. Infected individuals turn into these bloated ...

For example, the protagonist does not have knowledge about viruses and nomenclatures just to be able to pass the information to the reader through him. In addition to the fact that he does not even behave like a right doctor, he panics and takes action without analyzing the situation and having any zeal.

The ending is very ...

This manga has very little to offer beyond an interesting premise. The disease is quite terrifying due to how violent and contagious it is, but it's not really developed any further beyond that, which is a serious drawback as it's really the only interesting part of this manga. The art feels very lacking, the characters are all bland and uninteresting, and it doesn't feel like the reader is ever given a reason to care about them, which makes the fact that any of them could get infected and die at any moment very unsuspenseful. The woman with the Ebola fetish is the only character I ...
