My favorite digital manga subscription service Azuki, home of my faves My Dear Detective: Mitsuko’s Case Files and newer fave Our Aimless Nights, has revealed today that they are adding three new series from ABLAZE Manga, including more classic manga from the God of Manga, Osamu Tezuka, and a new horror series! Check out the whole list below! Each series seems to have at least a TEEN age rating, and each newly added series. All follow a theme of narratively dealing with horror in some way whether be that exposing corporate greed, seeing how people are treated less than, seeing the plight of humans becoming second on the food chain, or seeing people trying to survive a murderous amusement park!

Tomorrow the Birds by Osamu Tezuka

Classic science fiction from Osamu Tezuka, the Godfather of Manga, now in English! Originally published between 1971 and 1975, this tapestry of seven-page short stories and novellas depicts an Earth where birds become the dominant class.

A fatal fire in the countryside escalates into incineration of cities by swarms of pyromaniac magpies. An avian leader with psychic power demands a brutal reduction in the human population. Homo sapiens descends into a subservient role but manages to land some counterpunches. The birds’ quest for equality is derailed by conflict between carnivorous species and those that eat insects.

What jump-started the wild leap in ornithological evolution? What will be the fate of humans?

Tomorrow the Birds will appeal to fans of: Osamu Tezuka, classic and older manga and cautionary tales set in a dystopia

Happyland by Shingo Honda

Welcome to Happyland, an extreme amusement park!

The Komiya family is not unusual is any way, two parents love each other and their two children, who are healthy, happy, and accomplished at school and with extracurriculars. In appearance, they’re an ideal family that has everything going for them!

At least… That’s what they believed until the father decided to take them to spend a day at Happyland Park. In this park with its extreme attractions, the most shameful secrets will emerge in the most literally explosive way possible! A horrifying and gory tale of survival begins in this first of two volumes by Shingo Honda!

Happyland will appeal to fans of: Manga sitting confidently in the horror genre, series like Alice in Borderland, and shorter manga series (looks like this will be two volumes)

The AWL by By Gyu-seok Choi

The Awl is a story of ordinary folks struggling to be treated as humans.

In the face of corporate greed and reprehensible actions, a bond of respect has formed between young executive Yi Su-in and union activist Gu Go-sin. Seeing what his employers are capable of, Yi joins Gu in trying to establish a union for the company’s employees. But despite the unacceptable working conditions, the workers are reluctant to go through with it…until they witness a shocking situation involving one of their fellow employees.
