Synopsis: Hauntress

Hiroshi Mori, a meek and unassuming college student, has a fateful encounter one night with a peculiar woman who is visiting his neighbor. This eerie figure is a towering presence, with long hair, a coat, and both hands carrying shopping bags. Despite never having seen her before, Hiroshi soon finds himself being relentlessly pursued by the woman, who becomes fixated on him instead of his neighbor. This gripping horror manga was originally published in 1993, before the term "stalker" had gained recognition in Japanese society. It tells the story of a young man hunted down by a mysterious woman. Despite running for only ten weeks and being contained in a single volume, the manga was a massive success, with an astounding 400,000 copies sold. It is frequently cited as "the scariest manga ever" in horror specials published in various magazines.
