( October 2023) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Since Halloween is only a few weeks away, I'd like to read books about horror, gore, and science fiction. Fortunately, I came across this intriguing title on NetGalley's Read Now list. I was hesitant to put this book on my shelf at first because of the cover, which I thought was an odd attempt to make the protagonist appear iconic and feisty. But I did want to try something new. A lot of the story feels confusing, clashing, and the pacing is off. I find this to be because it was previously a Webtoon, which can be difficult to translate directly into a manga. TW: This content contains mentions suicide, near SA, a lot of gore, body horror, and a whole lot of death.*!

Version 5.0 improved upon 4.0 adding private galleries, the ability to "wink" other users, post "shoutouts", create "crush lists" (secret friends lists that reveal the crush connection if two users "crush one another), and search for users in your area (along with user vicinity recommendation). Peter Richardson: Anyone who gets excited for experimental, dark, or alternative comics. Like the movies that inspired it, the comic is aimed to be more of an experience than anything. I think the art may have a lot of appeal for fans of Junji Ito, Tokyo Ghoul, and others. While arthouse horror fans may find the dark story and atypical delivery something to sink their teeth into.Peter Richardson: In terms of wanting to start comics in addition to the clothing line, I was actually inspired to do it more by film than other comics. I watch a lot of independent Japanese punk films from the 80s and 90s. The energy that those movies make me feel pushed me to wanting to go beyond putting my art on t-shirts. I've always had a huge love of comics, and manga specifically. I felt that there weren't many manga that really emulated the feeling of those Japanese punk arthouse movies, so I wanted to experiment and see what that might look like in comic form.

Chen, Adrian (17 February 2013). "When the Internet was for strangers". Salon . Retrieved 2017-02-08. We are also introduced to the other characters in the manga though it was confusing. The chapters were short and kept jumping to introduce all the characters so I had trouble following the main plot line because it was all becoming a bit of a jumble. I did have to re-read some chapters to make sense of the plot. Greenwald, Andy (24 December 2003). "Research: Trend of the Year: Mainstreamo" . Retrieved 2003-12-24. The art is gorgeous, and incredibly unique. You recognize it immediately if you've ever seen Zombie Makeout Club before. Overall, this book had amazing line work and a great premise. However, it struggled to keep me engaged. Here's hoping Volume 2 is an improvement, but I will be hesitant to return.

Yume is the protagonist of the manga, a girl who died after committing suicide (trigger waning) and has been resurrected by Gasmask, the main antagonist. The book follows her adventures after fleeing the lab where she was resurrected until she learns what happened to her. Two of my favorite types of books (horror and manga) were combined in the graphic novel Zombie Makeout Club Vol. 1: DeathWish. As such, I had high hopes for this read and wish I could say it met my expectations.
