Maybe the anime is better?
oh well.
EDIT: Caught up Cradle of Monsters. Or Mouryou no Yurikago, if you're more familiar with Japanese names.
horror manga + horror music = goddamn
EDIT2: Started reading Ushio to Tora.
I thought Tora would be hostile waaaaay longer than that ;o
(fan squeak!)
Ushio and tora is my favorite manga, there is lots of silly shit going on but i really like the way that the characters feel, its actually pretty well written which is relatively rare from a manga artist (being able to draw=/= mean you can write a decent story) Although the story comes from the stock japanese mythology it has a pretty nice take on it and incorporates elements into the story from china and the west.
While it does tend to go for 'the monster of the week' style for a bit until it finds its feet in the main story its well worth reading, because, its, like, awesome. All of it.
