Orochi
Orochi: Blood·おろち
A horror comic featuring nine standalone stories, each exploring themes of tragedy, fate, and psychological distress. The first centers on two sisters awaiting their eighteenth birthdays, as an inherited curse predicts their ugliness. Another follows a woman battling lifelong misfortune, while a boy's life is altered by a scar from a violent crime. A young man leaves his village, only to return years later to find something unsettling remains. A child's witnessed horror is ignored due to his age, and years later, a suspiciously similar figure becomes a pop star. A boy's father sacrifices himself to save him, but the truth of the incident is dismissed. A son writes a poem about his father's heroism, raising questions about the father's motives. A blind girl sees a murder but is not believed. The final story follows two sisters from a wealthy family, where the younger is emotionally abused by her mother's unrealistic expectations, culminating in a tragic resolution. The series was published weekly for over a year, totaling 62 chapters.
