Are we the predators, or the prey? When an unsuspecting father and daughter stumble upon a strange gathering of humanoid animals with a taste for fine cuisine, their worst nightmare is about to begin.

Here, creatures who are not quite human and not quite animal at that raise humans as livestock and slaughter them to put meat on the table. Through this bizarre and horrific tale, society's morals are put to the ultimate test: What does it truly mean to consume another living being?

Animan, Vol. 1 by Ko Ransom and TAKUYA OKADA explores this chilling concept.
