About this deal

I don't think it's any different from other horror survival stories. What makes it interesting is that there are only a limited number of characters involved from start to finish. Because of this, the story can progress with dynamic and compelling conflicts across the series. Apparently there is no English translation of the whole Manga, so I don’t know how people are reviewing this who speak only English…but again, even though it’s not a very original concept with mediocre art, I’d still recommend it, but without hyping it as much as Joey did. By the way, I have no idea how many chapters are in the six volumes, so I just wrote 24, assuming each volume has four chapters. Sorry. This is one of the few times where I'm giving an overall rating not following my enjoyment score. It HAS some redeeming qualities (the MC not being as pathetic), but at the end of the day, I just did not like this series.

If you enjoy horror survival manga, I have a great recommendation for you. Although the premise may seem repetitive like other survival genres, "Dokumushi" offers its own unique take on the genre, adding a new layer to the usual survival story elements. Additionally, this manga is not very long, about 30 chapters, so you can read it in one sitting or over the weekend. However, I cannot make any promises about whether or not you will feel like you wasted your time after reading it. MC might be the most pathetic/useless fictional character I've ever known. There's absolutely no quality to him. No good action, no virtue, nothing. Only characters I was genuinely invested in were Yuki & Akane and ofc they didn't make it :) I have mixed feelings about the art in this work. It's decent, but nothing special. The artist did a good job of drawing gore without any distortion and managed to create thrilling and horrific scenes through good anatomy and panel composition. The art doesn't have extreme details like dynamic highlights and shadows, but I still consider it good. Like many others here, I got recommended this by the henti man, and since I wanted to practice my japanese I gave it a go. The higher your expectations, the more disappointed you’re gonna get. So don’t think too much about it going into this, make it your own experience and see for yourself.The only reason I started reading it is because I am a huge horror fan and I was excited to see all the gore and over the top graphic scenes that were hyped up to be there. So far it has been rather tame actually. There are a lot of things that I ended up liking. I liked the The ending of Dokumushi is literally Doubt! (extremely simila, at least), with the MC being the next Dokumushi game champion. Who is the previous champion? It's the little girl.

Wow! This was not what I expected. Like most people, I learned about this manga from the anime man, but from his video my impression of the manga was that it was gonna be some subpar garbage "edgy" story with little interesting aspects. Boy, was I wrong! No, there's no necrophilia or pedophilia (maybe slightly for pedo? but that's like towards the end) so don't worry, you don't have to tamper with your moral compass to The one thing this manga really has going for it is the gorey visuals. While you can get gore in nearly every horror media, it's hard to get it looking right. This manga, in my opinion, does a beautiful job of illustrating less than beautiful subject matter.This is basically a scenerio where ESH applies. I won't go into spoilers, but given the nature of this manga (in which to expose or reveal the cruelty of human nature), I'd say characters behaving in certain ways are justifiable. But at least the MC isn't just some "no, we have to leave with everyone alive!" like every generic MC in any horror mangas do. So I'll just leave it at a 5 I enjoys the main character's portrayal, noting that their weaknesses and occasional moments of stupidity help move the story forward without giving away any spoilers. I also like how the characters develop over time, adapting to intense situations and considering their chances of survival. It makes the story more dynamic, and I can also see how people could go crazier when facing this type of situation.

My thoughts on the story is located waaaaaay down below, after Overalls, because it is impossible to talk about my thoughts without spoiling the story. Which is why you shouldn’t read too many review first because what the hell do we know about YOUR taste.

Reviews

Imagine not knowing anything about your favorite manga or anime or whatever and experiencing it for the first time. You’re gonna be way more involved in what’s going on, because you’re gonna anticipate WHAT. Is gonna happen next, you’re not anticipating ‚that epic twist‚ everyone keeps Plus point for some very nice nudity. Not many plus points for 'yikes' content, but hey, that's what this manga is all about. Extra minus points for very disappointing gore. Like many other people, I’ve heard about this manga from Joey. So when I saw that he made an entire video on it, I decided not to watch it and first read the whole thing instead. I’m glad I did. I hate knowing too much (honestly, I hate knowing anything) about a story and in which direction it goes. one survivor can emerge from the challenges they face, adding to the thrilling intensity of the plot. While the concept of "just survive with everyone" is a bit limited, the characters manage to remain calm until conflicts arise and they begin to turn on each other. The art is OK, the characterization non existent, and most character archetypes used in just about the laziest possible damn way. Each and every character is clearly deranged or traumatized or both in some way, and it shows very early on that they are not what they seem, which just makes it so easy to see where it's going that I don't even know why I gave this a chance. Call it a morbid curiosity, far greater curiosity, mind you, than I had for the story itself.

If you want to get the updates about latest chapters, lets create an account and add Dokumushi to your bookmark. Have you heard of Kodoku? It's an occult curse that involves using the sole survivor of poisonous insects mixed with other deadly insects. But what if it's not an insect, but a human that's involved? This is Dokumushi, a horror survival manga that explores the theme of kodoku using humans as participants. This is not for the faint of heart by any means. I know most people want to know the story as a popular Would've given it a 6 if not for Yukitoshi. Forgive the degenerate me but I love my mad man. Really wished he ends up with Akane, but oh well. Anyway,

Doku Mushi Chapter 1

Came from The Anime Man once again lol and yeah he was a bit inaccurate with the otaku and little girl scene. No, the otaku did not hit it with the little girl, but did partake in child grooming technically. Still disgusting nevertheless. first of all I would only recommend reading it once it's been translated or just reading it if you know Japanese. I will make only a short review as I plan to make a video review of it. VIDEO REVIEW ---> https://youtu.be/qtbJJTqMNH8 I actually read the whole book in Japanese unlike 90% of anyone that said anything about the story. I went the extra step and bought all the books from a manga store (PS: I live in Japan) look here--> https://drive.google.com/open?id=1bRZFyxL_H_rveOhda3oMotFXSuqbBFdW <-- At least for deadtube, it was somewhat enjoyable due to the fight scenes and had clear resolutions. However, this series is just a pain to get through. There is no defining arcs where the outcome leads to a resolution. What do I mean? Deadtube had different arcs whenever a new video contest event rolls out, and the end of each arc had a somewhat satisfying yet tragic resolution. There is a clear resolution before moving onto the next arc. In Dokumushi, it's just one big slog. You can say each character dying could be counted as an arc, but theres no clear resolution after each character death. It's just problem -> solution -> problem -> solution rinse and repeat until you reach Chapter 50 with a resolution. I do not enjoy this formula in any sort of entertainment. The basic setting is where this manga both starts and stops, and from then on out, there is nearly nothing but rather close-to-explicit porn and some gore so disappointing that it's clear the mangaka just wanted to do draw very questionable tabboish sexy-times. If there are any redeeming points in this read, I doubt I would find them upon my second read because by God, just draw porn, won't you?
