Sarazanmai The Official Anthology Manga

When junior high school students Kazuki, Toi, and Enta accidentally shatter a statue of a mythical kappa, they face an unexpected punishment from Keppi, the prince of the Kappa Kingdom. Transformed into kappa themselves, the three boys are stripped of their human forms and thrust into a bizarre supernatural conflict. Keppi offers them a single path to reclaiming their bodies: they must serve him by hunting down zombie kappa, monstrous entities born from the twisted desires of humanity. However, the true challenge extends far beyond battling these creatures. To s쳮d in their mission, the boys are forced to confront one another by exposing their own deepest fears and hidden desires. This harrowing requirement tests the fragile bonds between them, turning every encounter into a deeply personal trial within a surreal modern folktale.
