I don't imagine that it would take more than an hour or two to read it all, and that might be a very generous estimate depending on how fast you read.

The premise (the couple getting lost and stumbling into an utterly horrific experience) is executed well enough. EditSynopsis On an idyllic vacation island in the southern seas, a young couple is trying to overcome the death of their only son. However, when his plan goes awry and his wife manages to escape, Seiichi follows her into a dark cave, only to find himself trapped inside and soon hunted by a savage creature with an insatiable hunger for human flesh.

That said, while the plot gets a thumbs up from me, the main thing Hideout has going for it is the art. First of all, I'd like to say I'm not familiar with any of Kakizaki's other works (mostly referring to Rainbow since that's his most famous one), so I'm not going to be making any comparisons to anything else he's worked on.

I'm not sure that I would be driven to the extremes the protagonist goes to, but it's all part of the tragedy, so I guess it's fine.

Overall it could be classed as cliche-ridden, as it borrows asinine plot frequently seen in Hollywood trash horrors, albeit that Japanese peculiarity to add dose of aberrancy really supplements the status of this piece to class it as a bit above mediocre or even unique for some aspects at least. Now the list of the negatives of the manga: the characters are really undeveloped, the ceatures/monster are undeveloped, the story is undeveloped and feels rushed (obivously). But this does not deter Seichi, it determined him, his decision is clear: Tonight, he will kill his wife.Written and illustrated by Masasumi Kakizaki, Hideout was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from June 14 to August 23, 2010. Everything is marvelously shaded, detailed, and bleak, which makes the gruesome content of Hideout so much more potent than it would be with only a "good" artist working on it, as opposed to an excellent one like in this manga. There are many reasons you should read Manga online, and if you are a fan of this unique storytelling style then learning about them is a must. Kakizaki is almost up there with Kentaro Miura (the author of Berserk) in the horror scenes department.

Overall, this manga seems to be made for shock value as all it has going for it is the extremely dark art. It was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits in 2010, with its chapters collected in a single tankōbon volume. First, I aknowledge the manga is short therefore everything is going to be less developed such as the story, the characters, the creatures, the world buidling. Probably not as it felt like a waste of time after I finished reading it, but if you want to look at some dark edgy art then go for it.The Old man: He is deprived of sunlight as he lives inside a dark cave for his life, takes women as prisoners and consumes the flesh of male stragglers. While there's nothing like actually holding a book in your hands, there's also no denying that the cost of those books can add up quickly. Affixed to above mentioned is the abundantly embellished art style which is a meritorious element, and perhaps will serve as a stimulus to continue till the end, that is, if you will consider plot to be atrocious, or predictable.
