Ryoukiou

A collection of eight short horror and erotic manga stories by Yukio Kawasaki, originally published in 1979. The tales explore themes of madness, perversion, and the grotesque, ranging from bizarre inventions and nightmarish dreams to tragic fates and monstrous creatures. Each story presents a distinct and unsettling vision of human depravity and the supernatural.

In one story, a man witnesses hell firsthand. Another follows a tragic fly in a toilet. A giant sea beast terrorizes the Seto Inland Sea. The collection also includes tales of a woman told to die quietly, a walker in back alleys, and a burning Osaka. The narratives delve into the darkest corners of the human psyche, blending horror with eroticism.
