Berlin, Deutschland, 5. February 2025 – Shibatarian comes across like a great horror classic, but is an exciting new work by mangaka Katsuya Iwamuro.

A work that will stay with you for a long time…
Released on bookstores on 7. February, the first volume of Shibatarian is also available as a limited edition including a creepy lenticular card and a variant cover.

When Hajime Sato walks up a hill one evening, he finds Shibata buried up to his neck under a cherry blossom tree.

Suddenly, Shibata simply disappears, only to complete something years later that the two of them had imagined on a cozy, creepy evening …
