Description (Courtesy of MangaUpdates.com)

This series is about village with a population of about 1300 people, and during one fiercely hot summer, many mysterious incidents happened one after another... Shiki is based on a best-selling horror novel by Ono Fuyumi. Fans may know of her other novels such as Twelve Kingdoms (which has been animated) and Ghost Hunt (adapated to both a shoujo manga and anime). Fujisaki Ryuu is a long-time JUMP mangaka of series such as Houshin Engi (recently released by ViZ), and Waqwaq, both of which ran in WJ.

Review by Deathroses:

The manga itself started out very slow, which is why I didn't bother loading any images. Although slow, the manga, so far , promises to get real exciting and creepy later on. The manga tries to capture the surreal feel of the book and, I think, does an alright job of it, even though it makes for slightly slow reading. Shiki, btw, means corpse demon.

Still pretty good. Hope you enjoy.
