Front Cover


The manga Arachnid, started mid 2011, written by Murata Shinya is about an orphaned girl, Alice, who witness her Uncle assassinated by the assassin "Kumo", Kumo is Japanese for spider for all those ignorant people :P. Alice is 'adopted' by Kumo and is entangled, excuse the pun, into the world of The Organisation which is a mysterious organisation of insect named assassins.  As it progresses Alice inherits Kumo’s Kumoito and fights against The Organisation which Kumo sought to protect her from.
One of the many facts

It’s good to see that the plot develops quickly and draws the reader in quickly with the creativity of the plot along with its uniqueness. Believe it or not but it also includes facts about the insects Alice meets on which the assassins were named on due their similar characteristics.

One of the Scenes
If you want to read this, I definitely recommend it to someone who is into action type of genre or into mystery type things. On a side note it contains some adult content so it’s best to avoid reading this in the workplace or at school.

  1. Very interesting blog Urusai-Kun(Blake)

  2. This seems like one of those cheap Sci-fi movies. Except it's not a movie, so it'd probably be very good. can you download the comic and use an e-reader?

  3. This is hardly a Sci-Fi 'movie' it is set in a world similiar to ours, if not ours. Yes you can download apps, read online. I myself have yet to try an eReader.
    An iOS app I use is called MangaReader or online http://www.mangareader.net/
