The internet is full of creepypastas, cryptid sightings, tales of paranormal activity, and unsolved disappearances. These are mostly rumors and pranks fueled by trolls—entertainment. But the unlucky few learn the hard way that some legends are true. Many of these unfortunate souls are doomed, but their luck may change if they cross paths with the boy in the red hood. He roams from town to town and appears wherever strange things occur. Is he a light in the dark? Or living proof that monsters are all too real…?
Four volumes in the novel series, which features a unique and engaging blend of mystery and horror, have currently been released with more on the way. The manga will be priced at $13.00 USD / $17.00 CAN. JY is thrilled to be able to continue adding and adapting creative stories for young readers in varied formats so that can be enjoyed in all forms.
