大ダーク [Dai Dark]

In Dai Dark, a shonen sci-fi horror manga from Shogakukan that launched in 2019, the creator of Dorohedoro, Q Hayashida, spins a grimy, blackly comic space opera. The story follows a boy whose bones are said to grant any wish, making him the most wanted being in the universe as he and his undead friend navigate a galaxy of bizarre, often grotesque, bounty hunters. Across its nine issues and counting, the series stands out for Hayashida’s signature detailed, messy art and her unique blend of dark humor, body horror, and offbeat camaraderie. It matters as a compelling follow-up from a cult-favorite mangaka, expanding her distinctive style into a cosmic playground of visceral action and strange, heartfelt bonds.
