[Mizuki]

A manga adaptation of Demon of the Island by Edogawa Rampo, illustrated by Naked Ape! Of course I'm overjoyed!

The premise of the manga highlighted the 'forbidden love' between the male lead and his male 'best friend'. Well, in Rampo's time homo-eroticism might be shocking and forbidden, but I honestly love the forbidden, twisted, fatal romance in Strange Tale of Panorama Island a lot more.
