Mpd Psycho TPB Volume 01 (Feb070093) (Mature)

MPD PSYCHO TP

"MPD-Psycho, the most-requested manga series in recently memory, has found a fitting home at Dark Horse Manga, where it will be presented uncut and uncensored in all of its controversial and unflinchingly grotesque glory! If Takashi Miike's MPD-Psycho television series still has you confused and reeling, the original manga series that inspired the show is sure to take you on a longer, darker journey into madness. Enjoy the eleven-volume MPD-Psycho series for all of its absurd twists, sci-fi touches, and inventive torture scenes, but you'll also be mesmerized by the plethora of odd conspiracies and case files found in Otsuka and Tajima's uncontrollable, urban horrorshow. In MPD-Psycho Volume One, police detective Kobayashi Yousuke's life is changed forever after a serial killer notices something 'special' about him. That same killer mutilates Kobayashi's wife and kick-starts a 'multiple personality battle' within Kobayashi that pushes him into a complex tempest of interconnected deviants and evil forces. Earning praise for its consistently shocking plotlines and Tajima's clean, arresting art style, MPD-Psycho is the manga event of the decade! • MPD-Psycho was rated the eighth most wanted Japanese series in U.S. fan polls! • Originally licensed by another U.S. publisher, MPD-Psycho was deemed too shocking for them to release. But Dark Horse is always prepared to give manga readers what they want! • MPD-Psycho has sold more than four million copies in Japan! • Each volume comes shrink-wrapped and carries an 18+ content advisory.
