Chasse au cadavre #2

The cover of this second volume by Hôsui Yamazaki delivers a quietly haunting image: four kids huddled together around a campfire, toasting marshmallows and sharing a handheld game in what looks like a makeshift tent — a moment of childhood warmth framed entirely within the hollow eye sockets and grinning jaw of an enormous skull, with electrical pylons looming on either side. That juxtaposition of innocent fun and creeping dread is exactly the kind of unsettling magic that makes Chasse au cadavre stand out in the 2023 manga landscape. If the first volume hooked you, this striking cover promises the series is only deepening its atmosphere.
