[Higanjima] It’s definitely a gag manga, and there are tons of places to point out the mistakes, yet for some reason, there’s something interesting about Higanjima…

For now, should I kill you? Ha ha ha.

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Since Akira started training under his master, I’ve been thinking, “Huh…? The genre has changed…”

That’s interesting in its own way.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Not just the cover, but it has been a horror manga all along, right?

5: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder if it’s really a gag manga…

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

It turns out he was a rapist…

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

I think it’s pretty amazing that my older brother looks cool with this design.

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Akira is strong enough to fight multiple vampires if he has weapons, even before his training.

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I want to see the energetic Yasa-sama from the early days again.

It was the time when the final boss would come when subordinates asked for help.

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

I quite like the design of the cool axe god and the ugly demon, like in the image of the big brother.

Well, equipment that suddenly appears is that, but it is what it is.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder why my brother looks so cool in a raincoat, round glasses, and a mask that shows his nose.

I think it relies on an amazing sense of balance.

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

It’s amazing that it’s been serialized for 23 years.

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a horror that deals with erotic and grotesque elements, but I feel that the serious and cute personality of the author shines through, making the gap amusing.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

My older brother is always fully equipped, even when everyone around him is dressed lightly.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

I’ve been doing this for so long and my style hasn’t changed at all.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

When you pull out just the scenes, there are a lot of funny things.

If you read it carefully from the beginning, it’s really interesting as a serious horror battle manga.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

It feels really painful when scenes suddenly turn serious, like when friends die gruesomely or become vampires, even though it seems like a natural gag manga.

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

If it wasn’t interesting, it wouldn’t have lasted over 20 years.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is Higanjima still continuing like that…?

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Far from parting with friends, even the resolution with the executives turns into a sad and poignant story.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

Pong…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s good that it’s a roller coaster in many ways and doesn’t drag on too much each time.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

There are quite a few surreal scenes, but I don’t want it to be called a gag manga or a comedy manga.

24: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I cried during the battle against my older brother in the original version…

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

Akira’s situation is so incredibly tough, isn’t it?

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The parts that I properly expect are written as I anticipated.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

How long has it been since the current party, 48 days later?

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are times when Yukapon being tasted by the gatekeeper of Kabukicho is subtly erotic.

30: Japan Otaku Reviews

In summary, it’s a shitty manga.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

Akira is strong because he is the brother’s younger brother.

My brother is strong because he is Akira’s brother.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

The last 47 days feel surprisingly short, while the 48 days after seem long, right?

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder how to defeat Miyabi… We don’t have any vaccines left, right?

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was posted before, but…

That’s probably because I’m drawing while closely following this.

Post by Koji Matsumoto (manga artist) @himeigarashi: These are the points I pay attention to when drawing Higanjima✍🏻 I want to portray humans as living creatures in a vivid way. Even if it’s not directly related to the story, I want to include essential aspects of human biology as much as possible, such as eating, yawning, sweating, breathing, sleeping, defecation, urination, sexual desire, and death. I believe that by repeating these elements, the work gains depth. No matter how much we adorn ourselves with technology and fashion, the essence of being human is that we become smelly and dirty just by not taking a bath for a few days; we are merely living creatures. I want to write about the despair, loneliness, bonds, and love that can be glimpsed from such raw humanity.😚

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s interesting, but it’s not the kind of interesting that horror manga has… but it is interesting…

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

Once my brother and Akira could easily defeat the vampire and evil spirits that were in charge of the anomalies, it felt like the horror manga was over.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

Doesn’t it feel like a horror game with interesting action elements like Resident Evil 4?

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was thinking, “Is my older brother really coming back now after having died a long time ago?” but the past flashbacks of Pri-sama and Himiko were incredibly interesting and amazing.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re bitten, you’ll wet yourself.

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There are times when it’s amusing as a joke, but there are also many seriously cool scenes, so it doesn’t get boring.

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve been more into action games than horror for quite a while now.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s basically a manga that does what you expect, but it’s fun when it occasionally surprises you with unexpected things.

Recently, around my brother who has (not) made a comeback.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

But even though humans have memories of time, why do they become so devastated…?

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

The scene where my bald brother happens to encounter Miyabi and gets eaten from the head was pure terror.

Even though they have the same human appearance, they are too much like monsters.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

This guy is nameless.

As you can see, he’s a guy who likes anal.
