Horror manga can take all sorts of forms. Take today's review, where we look at a series that mixes horror, food and romance into an uneasy combination.
SACHI'S MONSTROUS APPETITE (Ano Hito no I ni wa Boku ga Tarinai), by Chomoran. First published in 2018 and first published in North America in 2021.
PLOT:
Makie is a lonely boy, and one of the few people who soothes that loneliness is Sachi, a neighboring high school girl. He works up the courage to give her a home-baked treat, but in the process he discovers Sachi's secret: she is a watari, an inhuman creature that must consume other watari to survive. He soon finds himself drawn into Sachi's world, as the two share Makie's homemade bentos and a burgeoning relationship. Yet Sachi's hunger is never fully satisfied, and as the two get closer she finds it harder and harder to suppress her natural urge to consume.
