because of Teru’s character, i really can get into the flow of this story, that’s an excellent way in putting the reader in such a point of view, to reveal the mystery little by little and then feel the character’s what exactly they feel, the artwork seems a bit unusual at the first time, but you’ll get used to it. In fact, you’re gonna love the characters in the end.
The other good point is that Dragon Head is very sophisticated in plot. It’s rather slow than fast but very convincing. One mystery leads to another mystery, and in the end of the story, everything’s revealed, and still give me chills till now. Good, good manga.

I had randomly found a copy of one of the manga in the basement of a library of all places and after casually reading it for the pure expulsion of boredom, I found myself becoming very curious about the desperate situation of the main characters. Their starting point in a dismal train tunnel was enough to keep me wondering how they would survive, found myself hopeful when they made it to the surface, and then mind-boggled once all of the chaos began to ensue that I was not even initially expecting. It was a phenomenal manga and very impressive.

I certainly agree that the side characters were more interesting than the two main characters. But how often has the main character of a story been as strikingly loved as a far more interesting side character? Teru is an everyman character because this is an everyman role. A “what would you do?” situation, so his character makes perfect sense to me even if it lacked a concrete personality by the end of things. In a way, I could exchange Teru for myself and better engulf myself into the story that way.

Island is still better.

Seconded! But yeah, Dragon Head is definitely better than most of the mountains of horror manga out there…but, then again, NotHayama and I are biased toward survival horror.

I’ve only read the first couple of volumes, but it’s one of the better horror manga I can find; there’s some fabulous suspense, and the art is weird in all the right ways.
…Island is still better.
