About this episode
When a grotesquely disfigured man emerges from the depths of a city manhole only to collapse and die on the crowded streets of Sasahara, veteran detective Ken Mizoguchi discovers that some nightmares are all too real. What begins as a bizarre crime scene transforms into a race against a biological apocalypse when the autopsy reveals a horrifying truth: the victim harboured a contagious parasite that robs humans of their desires. On this week's episode, Mat's joined once again by Tom Parry to deep dive into Tetsuya Tsutsui's Manhole , now available in English from Kana. Join them as they explore the book's cinematic style, it's unique portrayal of a pandemic, and how Tsutsui uses police procedural tropes to craft a unique and unsettling story!
