The MPD-Psycho manga series made popular by Takashi Miike’s TV version is finally getting its US release by Dark Horse Comics. Once deemed too violent and sleazy, MPD-Psycho is already available for purchase shrink-wrapped with an 18+ content advisory.

“In MPD-Psycho Volume One, police detective Kobayashi Yousuke’s life is changed forever after a serial killer notices something “special” about him. That same killer mutilates Kobayashi’s wife and kick-starts a “multiple personality battle” within Kobayashi that pushes him into a complex tempest of interconnected deviants and evil forces. Earning praise for its consistently shocking plotlines and Tajima’s clean, arresting art style, MPD-Psycho is the manga event of the decade!”

I have heard great things about the TV series like flowers growing in brains and telephones in wombs. Let’s hope the manga is even more shocking.
