Synopsis
“Hanawa’s comics, while linked intimately to the very foundations of culture and education, are imbued with the reality of nonsense.” — Akasegawa Genpei
Breakdown Press is honoured to publish another classic of underground manga in the shape of Red Night by Hanawa Kazuichi. A wild entry into a violent world of obsession, madness and the perversity of the gods. In Hanawa’s work cruelty and decadence go hand in hand, and desire is accompanied by a macabre twist.
Hanawa Kazuichi is one of the true pioneers of manga — his trailblazing work in erotic grotesquerie and folk horror has made him one of Japan’s most revered and imitated mangaka. Since his debut in the legendary alt manga magazine GARO in 1971, Hanawa has been skewering the morals of Japanese society through chilling tales of debauched medieval aristocracy, many of which are collected in this volume. First published in 1985, Red Night was Hanawa’s breakout book in Japan. This translation of the expanded edition is his first collection in English since his 2006 manga Doing Time, about the artist’s imprisonment for illegal possession of a firearm.

About the Author
Born in Yorii, Saitama Prefecture in 1947, Hanawa worked as an illustrator before switching to manga in 1971. Initially specialising in works of eroguro in the magazine Garo, in the 1980s he shifted focus to tales of warriors and fantastic creatures set in the Edo and the Meiji periods. In 1998, the magazine AX published his autobiographical manga Doing Time, later collected by Fanfare, which recounts his three years in prison on charges of possessing illegal fire arms. This became a bestseller and received a film adaptation in 2002. Since then, Hanawa has returned to horror, and his 2014 horror short story collection Juso was a Jury selected work at the 2015 Japan Media Arts Festival
