GANNIBAL VOL. 2

Officer Daigo Agawa's gotten more than he'd bargained for out of an official assignment to the remote mountain village of Kuge. What began as a hopeful fresh start for his family has quickly turned into a nightmare. Spurred by the appearance of his disappeared predecessor's daughter, Agawa has vowed to get to the bottom of mysterious happenings within the village, all seemingly linked to the extensive and domineering Goto family. However, the Goto family does not take Agawa's suspicions lightly, and they launch a two-pronged assault on the police officer. While Agawa confronts the Goto family on their turf, a contingent of the clan has gone to confront Agawa's wife and child in their home. What do they have planned? And can Agawa escape his own predicament in time? A terrifying thriller series rich in tension and suspense, Gannibal is a masterpiece of horrific manga. Featuring magnificent drawings by Masaaki Ninomiya, and a story that keeps things gripping and chilling throughout. Gannibal TV adaptation streaming now on Hulu/Disney +!
