#DRCL - Midnight Children

In the early 2020s, Carlsen Comics launched #DRCL - Midnight Children, a German-language horror manga series that reimagines the classic Dracula mythos through a dark, modern lens. Written and illustrated by acclaimed creator Junji Ito, known for his masterful body horror and psychological dread, the series transplants the vampire legend into a Japanese school setting, weaving a chilling tale of obsession and supernatural terror. With only one issue released so far, it marks Ito's first long-form manga published in Germany, bringing his signature style to European audiences.
