Ciguatera

A taut, three-issue thriller from Kodansha USA, Ciguatera (2021–2022) follows a group of friends whose idyllic beach vacation turns nightmarish after they contract the titular, hallucinogenic food poisoning from a contaminated fish. As the toxin warps their perceptions and unravels their relationships, the series explores the thin line between reality and madness in a sun-drenched, claustrophobic setting. While the creative team is not named in the provided facts, the story’s tight, psychological horror premise makes it a memorable, self-contained entry in the comics landscape.
