The end of everyone was just the beginning... Returning home by train after a class trip, Teru Aoki takes a most frightening ride inside a mountain tunnel. When the train derails, nearly everyone aboard is killed. Amidst the bloody carnage, Teru discovers two survivors--but salvation is far from their grasp. As they try to dig out from the wreck in order to come up with a plan to stay alive, the lack of light and food, combined with the stench of death and decay, will lead one member of the group down a dark and demented path. And with sudden, violent earthquakes shaking the tunnel, escaping to the outside world may lead them to an even greater danger...
Teru Aoki
A young man whose world comes off its tracks when the train he's riding on derails in a dark tunnel.
Ako Seto
One of Teru's classmates. When Teru finds her, she's barely conscious.
Nobuo Takahashi
Nobuo Takahashi, another classmate, has also survived the disaster but has emerged, somewhat deranged, as a "Master of the Darkness."
Imagine you're riding on a train, coming home after a class trip. The cabin is dark, since you've just entered a long, winding tunnel. You're sharing laughs with your friends, making fun of your teacher, trying to impress the classmate you have a crush on...
THEN SUDDENLY THE TRAIN VIOLENTLY BUCKLES AND ROCKS!! IS IT AN EARTHQUAKE?!! Before you even have time to ponder such a question, the train derails, knocking you unconscious...
When you wake up, the train is in ruins, it's pitch-black, and all your friends and teachers are dead, their bodies bloody and broken. You crawl over the debris and the bodies in search of survivors...and a way out. Eventually you see a beam of sunlight shining through the wreckage of the crumbling tunnel. You joyfully make your way outside...only to shockingly discover that the world has mysteriously become a post-apocalyptic nightmare...
Simply put, Dragon Head is the best "survival horror" manga I've ever read. It knocked me on the floor. It's gripping, intense, and loaded with suspense. Our protagonist, Teru Aoki, leads readers through a twisting tunnel full of carnage, despair, and madness...
No wonder Publisher's Weekly named it one of the best graphic novels of 2006!

well if the manga is anything like the movie was (which, in itself, was completely insane for you fans who haven't seen it..yes there is a live action movie) then it must be nuts

I've only read volume 1, yet I'm blown away by this manga. I feel like I'm there when I read it. It has a feeling of teetering on the edge of insanity, with the comments of Nauto, or however you spell it correctly.
