Manga: literally "random (or strange) images". A comic art style that originated in Japan, from the blending of the local ukiyo-e technique and Western-style painting, and subsequently conquered the rest of the world. It is characterized by the fact that it places more importance on lines rather than forms, by its realistic style, and in many cases by its frenetic action and violent images.
"Cafe Occult: a café beyond any imagination. The meeting place of humans and spirits. Anything can happen here..."
The young Sorin falls victim to a car accident. Death is instantaneous. However, the young girl "wakes up" and realizes that she is experiencing a strange post-mortem state. Her "spiritual body" has been transported to another dimension....
There, Sorin meets a mysterious woman named Master, who runs a café with unusual patrons, functioning as an "order agency". Gangs of criminals conduct spirit trade on demand. Their employers have strange desires and dark purposes. Competitive amongst themselves. Sorin's spirit is the prize in this labyrinth. The manhunt will be relentless. The only one who can protect her is Jung, the black-clad neo-noir agent, who faces off against rival agents and hired assassins with her, such as the formidable Cutlass, those who possess the satanic power of Anima.
Welcome to Cafe Occult, the intermediate dimension between Earth, Heaven, and Hell. A Purgatory without laws that could only exist in the world of manga, where humans and "superhumans", "evolved beings", wizards, and entities with demonic powers compete in a power and authority game without rules.
Created by the mysterious Korean Oh Rhe Bar Ghum and illustrated by his talented compatriot Ahn No-Uhn, the series "Cafe Occult" is rightly regarded as one of the top graphic novels of recent years. Structured in episodes, it keeps the reader's suspense unrelenting from the first to the last volume.
A combination of noir and occultism, with unforgettable heroes, with sharp dialogues that take your breath away, with illustrations that lend a childlike-adolescent innocence to the violent world of manga, and with action scenes and duels drawn from the best "Matrix" and the best Tarantino, "Cafe Occult" is one of the most exciting manga since the inception of the genre and became a cult hit from the very first moment.
