Petshop of Horrors

It was a time for procrastinating again. Seeing as I knew I had a lot to do, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do them. I kept stalling, so I ended up reading Pet Shop of Horrors by Matsuri Akino.

It’s about an eccentric pet shop found in Chinatown owned by the mysterious D. He proclaims that the pet shop has a exotic array of pets, to suit even the most eccentric taste. Indeed, when one buys a pet and steps out from his shop, strange things start happening. Mysterious deaths and strange disappearances start happening to the pet owners. What are the secrets hidden inside Count D’s pet shop?

I love this series! I’ve watched the anime and I have to say that due to the limited episodes in the anime, I had to start searching for this manga immediately. The manga is dark, though with a little dash of humor thrown in sometimes, but essentially it’s a dark and disturbing manga which presents of mankind’s dark sides frequently and how other creatures view it. There covers a lot of human issues like jealousy, greed, loneliness, selfishness and all those dark things that make this manga an absolute read!

For anyone who wants to read this series too, it has ten volumes in total and here are the links:
