Since it was "Ghouls" that ended this time, Zhao Chen naturally could only replace "Ghouls" with a similar genre to avoid a large loss of popularity in horror comic publications.

There are really not many classic comics in the horror category, and there are only a few that want to be good and classic enough, among which there are "Ghouls" and "Parasites". The choice is much simpler, and there is no need to be as entangled as before.

Zhao Chen finally chose "Another", which is the so-called "Stand-in"!

Like many anime, historically, "Another" was first written by the island nation mystery writer Yukito Ayatsuji, and then adapted into manga and anime. However, in Zhao Chen's own opinion, the novel of "Another" is more exciting than the anime, perhaps because the anime has changed some of the plot relationships, or because of preconceived notions.

This "Another" is also quite famous in the future horror anime, and it is quite good in the comments of many comic fans, which is also the relationship that Zhao Chen will choose it. Although there are no factors such as bloody battles and magic in it, it can be regarded as quite brilliant in terms of logic and atmosphere, and it is not worse than "Ghoul".

Of course, in terms of characteristics, the anime "Another" and "Ghoul" are also somewhat imaginative, and they are also based on logic and atmosphere rendering. On these two points, the two works are indeed indistinguishable, and they are both rare excellent horror works.

But overall, "Another" is a product of a combination of Asian-style suspense and European and American gore, in which one or two people die every few days, and the same scene is very bloody, and it surpasses "Ghouls" in terms of blood. Whether it was the first girl to be stabbed in the throat with the tip of an umbrella or the teacher in class stabbed with a fruit knife, the bloody scene was naturally worse than the blood-sucking of the dead ghost, of course, on the scene.

Except, of course, blood type. This anime's grasp of the atmosphere rendering can be said to be at the master level, which can well arouse the reader's curiosity and inner fear, and there are also some places in the whole drama that are still very beautiful, and the main reflection will be human nature. And its connotation can also be summed up in one sentence: under the shroud of darkness, there are actually fragile but vivid pure hearts.

That is, in the face of death. Most people will lose their coolness, so they will naturally become selfish, and do all kinds of unbelievable things in order to survive for themselves, which is also a distortion of human nature.

And this is similar to the battle between the villagers and the ghouls in "Ghouls", which is also reflected in the face of death, and the humanity that has always been maintained will also be lost, so as to do all kinds of things that seem to be beneficial to themselves, which is the so-called selfishness! And this can also be said to be the essence of horror anime, of course, the horror atmosphere and suspense are also very important.

The story begins at the end of the 20th century. Sakakiwara Tsuneichi, who was only 15 years old at the time, temporarily stayed at his aunt Mikami Reiko's house for his aunt Reiko Mikami's home because his father was on a business trip overseas, and the location was his late mother's hometown of Yomidiyama City.

However, before entering the school, Hengyi's old illness relapsed and he could only be admitted to the hospital for treatment. And one night, in the empty hallway, Hengichi meets a girl wearing the uniform of the school he is about to enroll in, wearing an eyepatch in her left eye, but the yin aura is angry, and so begins the beginning of an extraordinary life.

After recovering from illness and being discharged from the hospital, Heng Yishun was transferred to the 3rd class of the 3rd year of Yejian Shanbei Middle School, and the students were quite enthusiastic about it. But in his words, he seemed to be hiding some secrets from him, and he also saw the blindfolded girl in the hospital again. It turned out that the two were classmates.

When the school inexplicably felt that the atmosphere in the class continued to be uneasy, one eye of the class was always covered by an eyepatch and he was painting alone, so that he had an incredible sense of existence zhì Hengichi couldn't help but want to try to get close to her, but he fell into a deeper mystery, but he didn't know that when he approached Misaki Ming, he inadvertently moved the dead Menfei.

In the third class of the third year of this school, there is a chain of death that people cannot escape. This process began 26 years ago, when there was a student named "Misaki" in the third class of the third year of Yami Yamakita Middle School. He was not only an athletic genius but also an honor student, with an approachable personality and a well-liked audience, only to suddenly die one day. Unable to accept this fact, the devastated classmates decided to spend each day as if "Misaki" were still alive until they graduated. That's why the seats at "Misaki" are greeted by people in the morning during class, and occasionally people are actively accosted. But this beautiful episode brings a certain distortion to the third class of the third year, and the shadow of the death of the director is always hanging over the third class of the third year.

It is precisely because of the relationship 26 years ago that the third class of the director fell into a death situation, and at least a few people died every year. And it is precisely because of this that the students and teachers of the third class of the third year will always try their best to remove the curse. However, the curse is always there, but in the process there is one more way to solve it, and that is to make all the other students and teachers ignore one of them, so that the bad luck will show signs of abating.

Of course, there are good and bad things in everything, and if you face up to this person who is being ignored, the doom of the third class of three years will happen quickly, it may be the inexplicable death of the classmates and teachers in the class, or it may be the tragic misfortune of their immediate family members.

And 26 years later, the third class of the third year also used this method, intending to get rid of or weaken the bad luck, and the person who was chosen as superfluous was the heroine Minizaki Ming.

It is only due to the arrival of Hengyi that the number of people in the third class of the direct guide has increased again, so that this situation has begun to appear uncontrollable. And the classmates and teachers of the third class of the third year did not dare to ask Hengyi to tell him about this matter, because once he told it, he would suffer misery, so because of his desire for life and inner selfishness, no one could explain it to Hengyi, and this also led to Heng Heng's first contact with Ming Qi, so the tragedy began to become more and more intense. The first person to die was the squad leader of the third class of the third year, because he saw the two of them in a panic and took the umbrella and prepared to leave from the other staircase, but he 'accidentally' slipped under his feet, the squad leader fell from the stairs, and after the umbrella in his hand fell, he was very 'natural' to face the throat that the squad leader fell down, so the squad leader was directly pierced through the throat by the tip of the umbrella, drenched in blood, and died tragically in the stairs.

And as the story progresses, the atmosphere in the class becomes more and more tense, and more and more people begin to die unexpectedly without knowing whether it is a coincidence or a "curse", the sister of the classmate who worked as a nurse in the hospital died directly in the process of falling due to the failure of the elevator, and the classmate with heart problems wanted to tell the protagonist the answer but died of myocardial infarction at a critical moment, and a teacher committed suicide with a fruit knife during class.

So under the brushstrokes of Master Ayatsuji, everyone's deaths are diverse and weird, and the terrifying atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger.

And even increasing the number of people who do not exist to 2 did not prevent the tragedy from happening. Mr. Kubotera killed his sick mother from the hospital bed and committed suicide in front of his students the next day. Hengichi and Mizaki have restored the life of a normal person, but whether it is the calamity or the work of the countermeasure officer, it has only just begun.

The weird and bloody in it makes people feel like their scalps are numb, but Zhao Chen likes it quite much, in his opinion, in terms of fear suspense and grasp of human nature, "Another" is undoubtedly quite outstanding. It is precisely this brilliance that will lead to the fame that will be generated in the future. (To be continued......)
