HINO HIDESHI

This graphic novel by one of Japan's most accomplished artists tells the unsettling saga of twin sisters born on a dark and stormy night in Tokyo: one normal, and one a demon baby with a taste for blood--a Hell Baby. Tossed into a garbage dump in a plastic bag, Hell Baby dies, but is brought back to life by an unworldly bolt of lightning. Hell Baby develops hard-earned hunting techniques to survive life among the wild animals who roam the dump. After struggling along for seven years, she seeks revenge for her fate and returns to the city, where she applies her hunting skills for survival--this time against the good citizens of Tokyo.

A mysterious old woman appears before doctor Rasetsu Emma, who has recently lost his son in an accident. She says she can bring Daio back to life. After agreeing to this sinister proposal, Daio returns to his father, but to Rasetsu's horror, he is half decomposed and inhuman. To make him human again, he needs fresh human organs. Rasetsu does everything he can to reincarnate his son, but Daio just turns into a different kind of monster. No one can stop him as he continues to feed his hunger, claiming victim after victim.
