Viz has been the biggest beneficiary of the Junji Ito horror manga craze, but it wasn't until this year that they were willing to capitalize on that and bring back some titles from an even older horror mangaka.
OROCHI, by Kazuo Umezz. First published in 1969 and first published in North America in 2002.
PLOT:
Orochi is a mysterious girl with a timelessly young face and untold supernatural power. She wanders the world, inserting herself into other people's problems and using her powers to try and solve them. Sadly, things don't always go as planned, whether it's helping two sisters suffering from a family curse or a tormented young wife who wishes for her beloved husband to return to her.
