Litchi Hikari Club
El manga de culto Litchi Hikari Club de Usamaru Furuya, largamente ausente de las estanterías de los lectores españoles, regresa con una nueva traducción. Esta espeluznante obra adapta al cómic una obra de teatro que en 1985 dio notoriedad al grupo Tokyo Grand Guignol y que impactó profundamente a Furuya. El resultado fue serializado en la revista Erotics F en 2006 y se convirtió un pilar fundamental del manga de horror y erotismo grotesco, que ha causado sensación en todo tipo de públicos. Este viaje de tomo único a las podridas mentes de un grupo de adolescentes sádicos que han formado una secta de culto y tortura alrededor de su hipercarismático y libidinoso líder no dejará indiferente a nadie gracias al impacto de sus escenas y la oscura belleza de la muerte y la pasión que albergan sus páginas.
