"""Gannibal Volume 1 is incredible, and any horror manga fan will want to try Ablaze's latest series.""  -- Screenrant.com “Masaaki Ninomiya does enough to create an unsettling atmosphere and a compelling mystery that makes you excited to see where Gannibal goes. Despite its familiar horror premise, the story gets under your skin through its approach on cannibalism. A compelling mystery, anchored by a cast of characters who are either monsters or slowly losing their morality. An unsettling atmosphere that is defined by Ninomiya's art... Score: 8.5 Great” -- AIPT.com (Adventures in Poor Taste) ""Gannibal is one of those series that hook you from the very beginning. From the start, there’s a mystical element that may or may not be real. The art style matches the disorienting reality of the series. It’s also a mix of Junji Ito and Kazuo Umezu, which is a perfect blend of horror and thriller. Rating: 5 out of 5”   --Miso.moe “8/10… A slow-burning adult horror manga that's not about cute, big-eyed cartoon high school students but a serious swim in the waters of creeping existential dread. The actual horror itself is not revealed in the opening chapters but the pun-driven title of the series already tells us everything. The real theme is of civilisation versus the countryside, or Order versus Chaos, but there's no guarantee Order will win. The art is realistic, not cartoonish, conveying the seriousness of the creator's intent."" —BLEEDING COOL"
