I thought this manga wasn't going to be scanlated until the end for real, but I'm glad it was. I read Baptism for the first time a long time ago, and I planned on dropping it because I couldn't find the fourth chapter in English. A few days ago, however, I realized that it has been translated. I finished it and I guess I could say that it was a breathtaking ride.

Read this just now in one afternoon/evening.
For a manga written back in 1974 = Yes, I would highly recommend fans of older mangas and "horror" mangas to read this. The story sort of reminds me of Orochi, in that the horror is not supernatural rather it is the horror that is within the humans themselves. In terms of artwork, the facial expressions and certain panels during important moments are very impressive and very well drawn.
