Holiday Review: DAI DARK

Of course, you can work with horrific ideas and make them fun and charming.  Just look at this series, for example.

DAI DARK (Dai Daku), by Q Hayashida.  First published in 2019 and first published in North America in 2021.



PLOT:

Zaha Sanko is just a teen boy, but it is said that anyone who possesses his bones will be granted any wish they please.  Zaha has no idea how this curse was put upon him, but together with his backpack-like associate Avakian he will use the powers of the dark flesh to find the answer and defend himself.  Along the way he'll meet a woman who feasts upon the souls of the dead, a three-headed space pirate and savor the goodness of a meatball spaghetti sandwich.
