Gigant

In Gigant (2018–2021), published by Shogakukan, writer and artist Hiroya Oku spins a sprawling sci-fi saga about a young man who gains the power to control a colossal, monstrous entity after a chance encounter with a mysterious woman. Known for his boundary-pushing work on Gantz and Inuyashiki, Oku blends body horror, existential dread, and dark humor across the series’ ten-issue run. The story matters as a compact, high-concept exploration of power, consequence, and humanity’s place in a chaotic universe, delivered with Oku’s signature visceral energy.
