00:00This is why dark manga art styles are so unsettling.
00:03When you think of manga, you usually think of something that's fun, light-hearted, and colorful.
00:07But there's a sub-genre of manga that's literally the opposite of that.
00:09These series have disturbing art styles that often feature dark color palettes and grotesque imagery.
00:14One of the most famous examples is Jungi Ito Suzumaki, which depicts a town that's slowly being consumed by a giant spiral.
00:21The art style is so detailed and realistic that it'll make you feel like you re-actually in the story.
00:25Another series that does this is He, which follows a group of friends as they investigate a series of murders in their town.
00:31The art style here is more simplistic, but that just makes the imagery even more disturbing.
00:35And then there's Tommy, a series about a beautiful woman who's also a serial killer.
00:39The art style is meant to be seductive and stylish, but it's also incredibly creepy.
00:43What all of these series have in common is that they play with your expectations.
00:46You think you're picking up a fun manga, but then you're hit with a disturbing twist that makes you question everything you thought you knew.
