Light of the Moon by Kazuichi Hanawa
"Light of the Moon is an unpublished anthology of horror and Ero-Guro stories by the renowned author Kazuichi Hanawa.
Kazuichi Hanawa (花輪 和一) is a renowned Japanese mangaka known for his distinctive blend of ero-guro (erotic grotesque), horror, and Buddhist spirituality. His works explore themes of violence, mysticism, and human psychology, making him a cult figure in underground manga.
Hanawa began his career in the 1970s, publishing in alternative manga magazines like Garo. His style is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese woodblock prints, medieval legends, and Buddhist philosophy. His intricate linework and surreal storytelling place him alongside Suehiro Maruo and Shintaro Kago in the ero-guro genre.
Hanawa’s drawings are meticulously detailed, resembling classical Japanese engravings. His works create an eerie yet mesmerizing atmosphere, capturing both horror and beauty in a way that few artists can.
For fans of underground horror manga, ero-guro art, and psychological storytelling, Hanawa’s work is a perfect addition to any collection. His blend of historical themes, dark surrealism, and deeply introspective narratives makes him one of the most unique voices in Japanese manga." - Mansion Press
