Started reading Higanjima: Last 47 Days earlier, which -- despite the summary sounding so-so -- really had my interest at the beginning. It's a horror manga with very suitable art for its tone. There are a lot of manga that seem like they're trying to be serious, but go for a cutesier style which only really works with a more lighthearted series or if you're going for a very strong contrast with monster designs.

...of course then chapter 3 hits and, like too many horror manga, you have basically a superhero around. Given that the series/sequel is a spinoff, there's probably an explanation for all that, but even so, is it so hard for mangaka to stay within the confines of more conventional horror?
