PRESENTS (2025)

"Written and illustrated by Kanako Inuki CMX. Just in time for Halloween, CMX enters the horror genre with the debut of this chilling series in a new, larger, mature readers format. Young Kurumi has never received presents on her birthday. Over the years, she has also never aged and credits her longevity to the fact that she has never opened a present. Now it is her role to travel the world, bestowing gifts on others. But these presents never turn out to be what the recipients desired; there's always a dark side and a high price to pay. Author Inuki is known as 'The Queen of Horror' in Japan."
