In the depths of space, a group of students is pitted against each other in a brutal battle for survival—a gripping sci-fi survival horror from rising star manga artist Shiro Kuroi perfect for fans of Battle Royale and Attack on Titan

Monster or human . . . What sleeps deep in the darkness?

The Leviathan, an enormous spaceship, drifts in spaces, abandoned in a galaxy far, far away. When looters break into the abandoned ship, they discover the diary of a middle-schooler, Kazuma, who documented the horrific fate of its passengers. Shocked, the looters read on, but as they do, they reach a chilling realization—there is still one survivor somewhere inside!

Along with the looters, the reader will piece together the decades-old tale of an innocent school trip to Earth with a tragic and brutal ending, as sudden explosions destroy the hull of the Leviathan. Trapped in space without enough oxygen left to wait for rescue, Kazuma documents the mental collapse and treachery of his teacher and classmates as they realize that the only hope for survival is the cryopreservation unit at the heart of the ship . . . which can only fit one person. A bloody battle for survival ensues as friend turns against friend, teacher against student, and each survivor is forced to confront the value of their own life.

Is it possible to keep one’s humanity when lost in the darkness of space? And moreover, what kind of survivor of that vicious struggle do looters find themselves alone with, decades after the dust has settled?

One of the top bestselling new manga titles in Japan, Leviathan’s incredible, brutal illustrations and tightly paced plot will leave readers at the edge of their seats, and linger in their minds long after the last page of each volume. Perfect for fans of Moebius, Star Wars, and Katsuhiro Otomo, Leviathan is sure to be an instant hit.

Über den Autor Shiro Kuroi

Shiro Kuroi wuchs in den 1990er-Jahren auf, dem goldenen Zeitalter des berühmten Magazins Weekly Shonen Jump, in dem Dragon Ball und Ken der Überlebende erschienen. Als Fan von Serien mit detaillierten Zeichnungen verliebte er sich in Hayao Miyazakis Nausicaäaus dem Tal des Windes und Katsuhiro Otomos Akira. Zur selben Zeit wurde Mobius in Japan als einer der Meister des Science-Fictions eingeführt. So entdeckte Shiro Kuroi die Comics, die zu seiner tiefen Inspirationsquelle wurden.Während eines Grafikdesignstudiums an der Universität versuchte er sein Glück bei Verlagen und gewann einen Preis bei einem großen Seinen-Magazin. Trotz jahrelanger Diskussionen führten seine Projekte jedoch nicht zur Veröffentlichung einer Serie. Daraufhin trat er in das Studio Toei ein, das für die Produktion bekannter Anime wie One Piece oder Pretty Cure verantwortlich war. Er arbeitete an den Hintergründen und lernte mit digitalen Werkzeugen umzugehen, die er für seine eigenen Werke talentiert einsetzte. Er blieb drei Jahre, bevor er als Webdesigner in ein anderes Unternehmen wechselte.Dennoch gab er seine ursprüngliche Leidenschaft nicht auf und veröffentlichte im Selbstverlag mehrere Magazine, die er auf Conventions verkaufte: Auf diesem Weg entwarf er Skizzen zu einem Projekt, das später zu Leviathan wurde...
