Calling Huvahh a manga (or even a one-shot) doesn't really do it service. It's pretty much just a showcase of some character designs and environment motifs for Shadows of the Damned. For the five minutes or so it takes to read it and really observe the art, if you're a fan of Q Hayashida (Dorohedoro) or Shadows of the Damned, it's totally worth reading.

There is barely any plot, dialogue is all mumbling nonsense, and there barely even a through line between pages, but the art is really all you're coming to the book for, so none of that really matters. If you've played Shadows ... of the Damned, you can see some familiar designs and motifs floating around. It's definitely a great companion piece to the game, especially considering how long it is. If you're reading this review right now, you've probably spent more time reading about Huvahh than you would reading Huvahh.

I only give it a 7 because I would have preferred a few more pages and some of the art could use a little more polish, but that grimy sort of crust punk garage album cover art aesthetic is what Hayashida is so well known for.
